We typically would visit…read morethat bigger one in North Park, but that place has become a hellhole for morons standing in aisles taking instagram shots. Hard pass. I managed to toss books like rocks at them as if I'm a bridge troll. However, after cussing out some 23 year old that cant even read, I've decided to move on to better bookstores. (Or I was told I'm not welcome back, same difference). Anyway, BOOK PLACE IS RAD. I am hooked, on the book. I don't really enjoy the Barnes & Noble because A) Expensive as hell, and B) AI cover art everywhere. So, Book Place. Cluttered how I like it. But in a good way. Like, you think you might find Iain Banks in the mystery section, but actually he might be in the Thriller section, or both! And you've discovered a new author on the way! I just love how it feels to have such a variety of books. Some spent time being loved by someone, and others, maybe were a gift that they trashed and it ended up here. Everyone who works here is cool, we can chat about books, and they'll tell you if they have something. Though personally I enjoy the thrill of the hunt for something I don't know if I'll find. I've always managed to find something. Plus, their prices are great. The buyback option is awesome. (Plus you have the opportunity to share what you loved... or didn't love and give someone else your hot garbage!) They've got a rental system too. So it's kinda like if Blockbuster came back, and had a baby with a book Place. They've got the oddities I crave. They have the weird science fiction with the holographic covers from the 90s and early 2000s (yeah those nerd ones). Star Wars novels, covered (and I don't mean the post-Disney garbage). I love this spot. It's not super close to home, but it gives me a reason to venture into this part of the county. Makes me very happy. Support this place and keep it alive because I need it in my life.

I am a little biased towards this bookstore because it's a little small and they don't have the…read morebiggest selection, but the prices are good and the guy who works here is SUPER nice and friendly (30ish guy with brown hair). I was really impressed with how nice and patient he was with the customers, many of whom were older women who seem to be regulars at the store. My husband and I were each able to find a book here; Toni Morrison is one of my favorite authors ever so I was psyched to find one of her books! I even found a copy of The Idiot and El Fili! But I didn't get those because I'm not big on Dostoevsky anymore and El Fili is the sequel to the book I'm trying to find. Anyway, still cool to find those! They even had a free book shelf outside and I was able to get a smut novel for my husband and me to laugh over. Good times. The next time I go here, I'll try to open an account with them because I have a bunch of books I'd like to get credit for so I could get more books I'd actually like. Unfortunately it's a little hard for us to go here because their hours and days are limited, so we're only able to go here on Saturdays. Anyway, recommended!

From discussing topics with the students, taking creativity workshops and participating in the classes and events, I am gathering tools and experiences that help me to grow and hopefully help in creating a better Earth for us all. I think the creativity workshops are probably the best way to visit especially if you can tie it with a tour. It would be a great first introduction. Besides the workshops, I really love the Crystal Flame Ceremony in December. My first actual visit (I've been aware of Unarius for years) was a visit during business hours. We spent an hour talking with Billie who has painted some of the most well known paintings of Unarius. Each time I visit now I can feel the positive energy and excitement building. Stop in and ask questions. They are always willing to talk. There are a ton of books and dvds and everyone's favorite, the starship pin!

I was very nicely welcomed, everybody from the group was very generous and helpful, they've kindly introduced me to their spiritual teaching, but at the same time they've gave me a lot of time and space to discover things at my own pace. I ended up buying quite a few books which are great help if one wants to follow online classes. What I liked the most is that they put a lot of emphasis on creative expression. I've tried their art classes and also saw a performance of their choir. Both things were very inspiring and they helped me get a deeper understanding into my own artistic practice. Visiting the Unarius centre is a must!

They're walls have new releases, signed, bargain, romance adjecent, dark romance, special editions, contemporary, classic, and then upstairs there is paranormal and fantasy. Definitely make sure you check every shelf! There is so many choices and so many titles. They also have a sticker wall with so many awesome stickies to choose from. They have display tables that always catch my eye, and stuff hanging on the walls to show upcoming releases, events, and good stuff to know! I love coming here and looking for monster romance and queer romance!

When you first walk in, you're greeted by the cutest mural on your right hand side. There's a vending machine for mini art prints for $1 and proceeds go to charity (quarters available at register). Staff here is very nice & welcoming! There is a wide selection of romance novels. I appreciate the bookseller recommendations with the staff's suggestions and descriptions of the books. There's a fun mystery book selection where you don't know what you're getting with short descriptions as well. In addition to books, there's a wide selection of stickers, bookmarks, notebooks, and a small section of earrings, tote bags & socks. They also sell candles & mugs. There is a small upstairs section with more books. And there was a lot of signage for different events. They have going on including book clubs and bedazzling events. Overall, a great experience. Purchased a few items and joined their rewards club. Will be back!

If you love incense that smells like high-quality candles and not the usual overpowering fragrances, this is the place to go. They have unique scents, minis, and so many little treasures to explore. The highlight of my visit was my session with Arturo. It is honestly hard to put into words how gifted he is. His readings blend tarot, energy work, numerology, and a level of spiritual insight that goes far beyond a typical session. He is incredibly accurate and has a way of seeing into you that feels both grounding and eye-opening. You can feel that he is tuned in the moment he looks at you. We have seen many spiritual workers, mediums, and healers over the years, including well-known ones that had their own TV show. Arturo was just as aligned and consistent as the best of them, especially when it came to past life lineage, soul contracts, and aura interpretation. He picked up so much from even the smallest details, and every one of us walked away blown away. Since my session, I have already sent a friend to see him, and she had the same experience. Arturo is honest, detailed, and extremely thoughtful. He does not rush you or cut things short because the clock hits a certain time. He genuinely cares about delivering the message and sharing what he sees. He also brings humor and warmth into the reading, which makes the whole experience feel safe and uplifting. We all left feeling lighter, more aware, and even joked that seeing Arturo is like having a medium and a therapist all in one. If you are curious or even slightly drawn to it, I truly recommend booking a session. I am sure you will find it more than worth it.

I found this store by googling and came in to see what I could to try to fix the energy in my home. They have selection of candles, sage, crystals, books, etc. I then decided to do a reading with Arturo. I thought since I was there it could be neat to do a session and it ended up being pretty amazing. I am completely blown away by his abilities. The level of detailed accuracy cannot be faked. It was a bit of numerology, aura reading, tarot, discussion and honestly I left feeling better than I have felt in a long time. I've never had a tarot reading or even been in a metaphysical bookstore, so wow it was a pretty cool first experience. For anyone looking for a reading, all I can say is if there is such a thing as the real deal (and I believe there is) then Arturo is it. Highly recommend.
