It pains me to leave a meh review because I love bookstores. Such a cool concept but needs better…read moreexecution. The store is difficult to find especially if you're not familiar with the area - in an alley with street parking. There's a small sign on the street pointing to the bookstore but it's hard to see especially in bad weather. I'm from out of state and love the romantasy book store idea but it wasn't worth it. The store itself is tiny. The merch is overpriced - $4 each for tiny stickers. Small selection of merch. I would have loved to see more book merch and less store branded merch (book related shirts and not store branded). Loved the hand painted ornaments at the register by a local artist. Purchased the Kindle Blind Bundle for $15 and I feel totally ripped off. It was 5 stickers and a kindle charm that plugs into the charging port. The stickers are out of season - autumn stickers in December and one of them is a branded sticker for the bookstore. The TikTok shop sticker isn't relative to books and I've never purchase anything there - I could have gotten a better sticker set on Temu for less. The kindle charm plugs into the USB port which runs the risk of damaging your kindle and can be easily lost when taking it out to charge the kindle. It looks very fragile and it could break easily. I'm not damaging my kindle because of a $15 mistake. I absolutely won't use any of these so a total waste of money. The store has potential but a bummer.

I found this bookstore to be incredibly cool. It's definitely its own niche and me as a non…read moreunderstander of said niche, I highly recommend you look at their website. It was painted black and had such a cool vibe. The ladies working there were very nice. It was quite busy actually and people were saying great things about it. As far as value, I believe for books- it was right on target. Prices seamed to be where they should. My friend's daughter found really cool stickers and was really into the items they had.

They sell vintage books, clothing , fanciful items, handmade bookmarks, and upcycled jewelry amongst antique furniture and comfy seating areas to read books. One can spend hours browsing new and old books in this bookstore for hours. The Netflix Series: The Summer I Turned Pretty was filmed there - starring Lola Tung, Gavin Casalegno and Christopher Briney. The bookstore was filmed in the scene where Laurel and Susannah see writer Cleveland Castillo at the Whale of a Tale bookshop (Episode 1.3) (Episode 1.3) One of the most unique and joyful bookstore experiences I ever had in my life.

Would recommend for chaby chic style, farmhouse decor, Christian based paintings and framed art, trendy rugs and candles. First off, I came for the 4th of July sale and got a $9 welcome mat that's cute and trendy, and a decently large size - how great is that! They had a ton of deals on summer items, small indoor rugs, American pride decor, and kitchen goods. I came for one item and left with five because the sales prices were too good to pass up and the indoor rugs were so cute with their indigo tie dye styles and beach thread patterns. For art they had very Pinterest looking pieces with beautiful white barns painted in a rustic white frame, black and white kitchen sayings like "Clean hands and open hearts," beachy three-candle centerpieces, off white, woven table runners, and so on. They also carry a wide selection of lamps, mirrors, pillows, mugs, and candlesticks. They have their own parking lot and the staff were helpful and kind. Overall, I'll probably be back if I'm looking for an affordable, cute housewarming gift that you can't find at just any store, and for cute additions to my home. Also excited to see what new things they bring in the future as the past couple times I've visited it's been all the same. See you at the next sale!

I loved the store from the moment I walked in, with the quirky ceiling and stacks of old books. There are two floors of books with scattered vintage items here and there.

I could have spent hours browsing. The staff as welcoming and friendly. There is plenty of parking in the little strip mall. This is a fun, independently-owned, place for a book lover to come on a rainy (or sunny) day.
