From the moment I walked into Read Between the Lines, I felt like I had found one of those hidden…read moregems you almost don't want to tell people about because it feels so special. The store is beautifully curated, and everything is displayed with so much care that I honestly didn't want to leave. I originally stopped in to pick up gifts, and one of my favorite touches was that they gift wrapped everything for me. It made me feel special as a customer, but it also saved me the extra stop of having to buy gift bags, paper, or tissue. Such a thoughtful service and honestly a brilliant touch. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. I could easily spend an hour in here just browsing, discovering little treasures, and enjoying all of the amazing scents throughout the store. They also have unique jewelry, keychains, and other beautiful gifts that make it easy to find something for almost anyone. I went in and found your books, and I also visited the clearance section and found the most wonderful chocolate for giftgiving. Everything was a great price. I don't remember if they offer military discount or not, but I will definitely ask next time. The location was convenient, parking was easy with the nearby garage, and even my children enjoyed walking through the store with me. This wasn't just a shopping trip. It felt like an experience. I'll definitely be back.

We spoke about her life, recovery and a bit of mine which made me really happy about the personal connections being made here! She is just a sweet, positive human being, I wish I caught her name but kudos to her for making my day!!! Im so excited to come back next time to support such a lovely store.

Today was my first time to go to the Stonebriar Mall Barnes & Noble store, and I was impressed with…read moretheir selections. It's one of the biggest B&N stores I have been to so far. The children's area had the most toys I've ever seen at any of these places. And even thought it's large, I saw things that remind me of what a thoughtful bookstore should have in it. Children sitting on benches reading and laughing. Teens talking about the books they're buying and looking forward to reading that story. And adults having fun with their children. And I must say, isn't that what a bookstore should be about? Laughter, imagination, excitement to read. It truly made my heart happy to see and feel their joy as I walked through the book isles. There's a B&N store close to my house, and I never see or feel what I experienced at this store. That speaks volumes to me. And yes, I bought a book. Every year I look for that special Halloween book I can share with my granddaughter. Today I added the children's book, "We Are Already Haunting Here" by Gideon Stere. I can't wait to share it with her!

I am going to give away some of my criteria for writing a book store a five star experience. It's…read morerare for a bookstore to meet every criteria. To me a bookstore has to have an amazing selection, great customer service, fair prices, and a really nice vibe and atmosphere. This Barnes and Noble hits on everyone of those standards! This Barnes and Noble is inside of Stonebriar mall in Frisco. When I first walked in, I thought it to be a small store until I saw the escalators which brought me downstairs to a whole different level. Essentially, this is a full size, Barnes and Noble, and more! They even had sections that I have not seen in any other Barnes & Noble store. They had a whole selection of toys and games. They also had sections for different age groups on the activity toys. What I really enjoyed about the atmosphere here though, is all of the activity I saw. I saw family sitting down in the kids, section with parents reading to their children. I saw teenagers that were obviously walking in the mall that had stopped in the road to look at the young teen section and sit down with books. I saw families browsing together, individuals, browsing together and groups of all ages, checking out things, or sitting in nooks reading books. It was really a great vibe, and this place seem to be a community gathering place. Barnes & Noble has several different ways to score some bargains in their store. What is the typical look for the sales. For example, on this particular trip I saw several tables that had relatively new released books on sale for half price. You can get great prices also by becoming a member of their royalty buyers program. They have a couple different options on that depending on whether you're a casual reader and shopper or you're an avid reader, and shopper. I do not read as much as I used to so these days the free membership makes the most sense for me. Anyway, I have learned that not all Barnes and Noble's are created equally and this is a really great Barnes and Noble! Review #2094

Mike had been on the hunt for a specialty item for a friend. I can't tell you how many places we went. But, eureka we found it at Cute Crush!

There is a lot of merchandise in this small store! So, have fun and I hope you find a hidden gem, like Mike B did.

I happened to have my tea cup Maltese with me today when I pickup my kids from class. It's 90 degrees outside so I decided to bring my puppy into the shop as my daughter wants to pickup birthday presents for her three besties. The moment we walked into the shop the girl at the register said, sorry no dogs allowed. I did not think a moment and walked out. They lost my business today so I went Teso instead. However, I checked their signs there is no sign mentioning no dog allowed. This is not a business that has contact with food. So fur parents avoid this place

The store does have some cute items (but not much different than Hobby Lobby). I love shopping and would probably shop at this boutique more often but I actually avoid the store because I find the employees or owners very unfriendly and that has stayed consistent over the years. I have never been "welcomed" at Hearts Desire or asked "is there something you are looking for" or been told "thank you for shopping". I get a very inhospitable vibe from this store that comes off very catty. Anyway no more shopping here for me, not even in a time crunch. I will spend my money elsewhere and I suggest the same for other shoppers.
