The selection of used books is enormous and wonderfully curated, but the true standout is the cookbook section. It is nothing short of amazing! It's a treasure trove of unique community cookbooks from ladies' auxiliaries, churches, schools, and local organizations that you simply cannot find anywhere else. Beyond the books, the prices are amazing, the coffee is great, and the atmosphere is just perfect for browsing. It's the complete package. My only wish is that they would open a location in the RGV so I wouldn't have to drive so far! Until then, we'll gladly make the pilgrimage. Highly, highly recommend to anyone who loves books, treasures, and a good cup of coffee.

The closest used bookstore to my knowledge, has always been in Corpus;, and as much as we love…read moregoing to Corpus, nothing beats, going to The Novel Blend bookstore situated in the Heart of downtown Kingsville. I try to visit as often as possible but I definitely visit 3 to 4 times a month. They have best sellers as well as cookbooks, biographies, autobiographies, self help books, historical books, almanacs, not to mention countless other miscellaneous items. Any genre you can think of, they most likely have it, and if they don't, I'm certain they will find a way to get it.I cannot stress how affordable all these books are. I'm a David Baldacci fan and I don't mind paying full price for his books, but if I can find one with zero imperfections to the jacket or the spine or anything on the pages and it's five dollars for a new release you better believe I'm going to take my business to the Novel Blend bookstore. It also doesn't hurt that it's less than a quarter of a mile away from my house and it also helps even more than their prices, and their inventory is probably the most important of all of the charm this much needed and much adored, bookstore, holds, and that is the people who own and run this fine establishment. They have brought to Kingsville what we did not have, and I am so grateful for that, so thank you. Mr.& Mrs. DiFranchesca

This is a hidden gem in Kingsville! The owners were very welcoming and kind! (if you're lucky you…read morecan see their cat). This cute little bookstore sells a wide variety of books, vinyls, and knick knacks. There is free wifi and seating inside for student to use and study. They have a small menu with coffee and snacks.

***CLOSED PERMANENTLY***…read more I came to check out all of the books since this place got pretty good reviews, but when I got here it said that the office was closed even though it shows the store hours as opening at 10 AM Online. I went around back and all of the books are boxed up in a crumbling warehouse that is falling apart, it looks like no one has been here in years and all of the books That are not boxed up and covered with a giant tarp are exposed to the elements just sitting there rotting away. Very sad to see this place like this, but I didn't want anyone driving out here only to discover that the bookstore no longer exists.

Wow! Stumbled upon this gem of a bookstore after enjoying my Endless Pasta at the local Olive…read moreGarden! I had a hankering for some more classic Tuscan cooking later that day and was looking for an authentic cookbook to satiate my craving (as Endless Pasta can be quite pricey). Luckily, Kailyn, a lovely employee at the store, aided in helping me find the perfect cookbook for my needs, authored by the wonderful Martha Stewart! Later that night, I enjoyed a delicious meal of rigatoni and meatballs just like my nana used to make! I am a big fan of Barnes & Nobles and will be back for my future cookbook needs! Big props to management, who hired such a helpful associate!

There was plenty to offer with a wide variety of subjects, but I thought the prices were a little high. Guess I'm just cheap. Anyway, this seems to be the premier place to shop for books in Victoria. The staff also seemed very friendly and helpful. Please shop here!

We had set out to check out a small independent bookstore in the area to find it closed for the…read moreweekend. Sign said it was to give employees a weekend with family before summer vacation ends. So we found this bookstore, not an independent but we never heard of this chain. It was interesting, lots of unique decorations. A couch, some tables and chairs, a separate children's reading area near the front desk. It was a decent size and had shelves of books as well as boxes everywhere with more books! Up front were both new releases and bargain or discounted books. They are mostly fiction, a huge romance section, but no texas history and the true crime section was tiny. So if you want non fiction might not be the place for you. Also if you don't like hunting and searching to find that perfect book also not the best place. Some people love that feeling and this store is for them. They had the normal romance or Sci fi sections but did have some fun offbeat sections like super cute mysteries and Alex Cross section. Another cool feature was by certain books like the Cross section or Clive Cussler they had laminated sheets showing the reading order as they had continuous character stories. Shana thought it was cool, friendly people and a cozy atmosphere. A bit of a maze as used bookstores should be according to her. The staff was friendly and again Shana had a cemetery question and one lady there had a ton to share! There is a small restroom as well. Another cool feature I saw being used was if you were a regular or member they kept track of books you read or bought. Not long after we walked in I heard them talking to a lady letting her know she had read the book she handed them. Then did a search and found she read the other books in that series as well. Neat feature. Overall I would recommend this store, more so if you live nearby and can join but if you have time to find that perfect book fly on in!!
