It's on the smaller side but I am a sucker for an indie bookstore and I would recommend this place, especially if you are looking for a special edition, a book with sprayed edges, or some fun little gifts for the book lover in your life. I feel like it really caters to the romantasy crowd, which I read now and again but they carry other mainstream fantasy like Brandon Sanderson and some other lit fic authors as well. I specifically mentioned Brandon Sanderson because I picked up a copy of one of his novels while I was there. I need to double check and see if they are doing any book clubs or social events because I would be interested in participating. I took 1 star off because I'd love to see more genres in the store but it's cute and cozy and I will absolutely be back.

They have a special room book groups can reserve for free online. Whispering Pages is a wonderful place to meet with friends to enjoy books, conversation and maybe a beverage too.

The most adorable new bookstore!…read more The aesthetic is absolutely beautiful--every detail feels thoughtful, cozy, and intentional. We stopped in on Labor Day, so they had already been busy and were sold out of quite a few books, but I can't wait to see what they get in next! There's a spacious, cozy bar area (they weren't serving drinks yet when we visited), and upstairs there's plenty of seating with tons of natural light. I could easily spend an afternoon up there with a good book. They also have a "Book Club" space that you can reserve for FREE, which I love! And if you're someone who loves the smell of books...you're going to LOVE this place. It smells amazing. Definitely adding this one to my list of favorite local spots. I can't wait to go back!

Mary Catherine's Antiques is a fine little nook of an antiques store in the Short North, two rooms…read moreof various furnishings and random crap that wouldn't look too out of place at a nicer flea market or on a local access version of Antiques Roadshow. The minute I walked in I was greeted by a palpable musk of antiquity, the smell of age. Old paper, wood varnish, a hint of mustiness- a great smell to certain noses, including the one on ol' yours truly. Not much at Mary Catherine's really inspires my fancy, although I did see a great battle map of (or from?) WWII here that was absolutely gorgeous- and cheap! (Although not nearly cheap enough for me.) The only jarring moment of my visit to Mary Catherine's was the prominent Garfield poster hanging above the passage between the rooms. While Garfield is certainly about as funny as an old cabinet, I didn't quite expect to see a monstrosity of corporate cartoonage amongst all the earth tones and old books. A slight complaint, to be sure, but so it goes.

Over the years, we've bought a small table, a mirror, and a unique light fixture from Mary Catherine's -- all of which were things we weren't necessarily looking for, but we're just drawn to in the moment! I was recently in Short North for the first time in years, (finally reentering society after the pandemic and a move further from the city) and had JUST enough time to stop in. Luckily, it was a Thursday afternoon, which is part of their new limited hours. I'm glad they are still keeping the storefront open a few days a week, even after being in business for so many years! For me, it's such a short North staple!
