Okay, bookstore lovers this place is the real deal. Three floors of books organized by vibe: main…read morefloor has your general selection and kids books, top floor is romance, and the basement is where the horror and sci-fi live. Naturally, I spent most of my time downstairs. The bookseller on the lower level was so knowledgeable! We got into a whole conversation and they pointed me toward several horror picks I never would have found on my own, including some horror graphic novels I'm genuinely excited about. That kind of interaction is exactly why indie bookstores matter. They also have an in-person horror book club, which honestly made me a little sad because I couldn't join. If I lived in Sacramento, I would 100% be a regular here. Highly recommend if you're passing through.

New favorite bookstore in Sacramento. I first visited a few weeks ago and this time I decided to…read moredrop by after errands. The store has a wide selection of books on just about every topic. I was specifically looking for Mesoamerican mythology and history of colonial Mexico and I found it. Books are decently priced, they have both new and used. The price point is fairly accessible for the condition of the books. I love getting lost in those shelves it's the best part of bookstores in my opinion. Staff is always friendly and helpful, always willing to give you a free bookmark or a photo of a crop circle!

Pricing is affordable ($5-10). Fiction selection was well-populated, including not only the usual best-sellers, but what seemed like a curated collection of interesting books from the past several decades. I didn't spend much time looking at the classics section (again, always appreciate having classics separated out from fiction), but it was reasonably sized. Overall, recommend, I could have spent much longer browsing! I will certainly keep it in mind for another visit the next time I am in the area.

This is the first one we landed on and we really enjoyed our time here. It's a really big lot that takes multiple buildings. They had toys, knitted blankets, books, clothes, jewelry and so much more! We got lost for a good hour or two in there, taking it all in while they had music playing in the background. The staff was super friendly and would check occasionally to see if we needed help with anything. We left with a few goodies and will be back again.

We stop into Strapping often and love seeing the changing stock of fun items. They stock seasonal items, along with a variety of cute, quirky, edgy, and fun items. Truly a little something for everyone. I personally love the home goods and have picked up a variety of items like candles, spoon rests, flower pots, and more. They have a lot of Sacramento items as well and even have items for different neighborhoods. Some of these are items from their team, and some are sourced from local vendors. There's a good mix of local business items, small business items, and popular items that make this a much different experience than other gift shops. Keep an eye on their social media for new item stocks, special events, and pop ups. You could stop by weekly and find new items to fall in love with.

If you're in the area, definitely pop in.... it's worth a look. The store was super clean with a welcoming vibe.

I ended up leaving with a couple of cute little gifts for my mom and boyfriend, and the prices were totally reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back as the holidays get closer. I saw a bunch of things that would make great stocking stuffers or even some hilarious white elephant gifts. Love finding spots like this :)

So many unique items - gag gifts, naughty gifts, a whole glow in the dark section, T-shirts, magnets, jewelry - you name it! They have a whole Hello Kitty section, a mushroom themed section and even an Alien themed section, just to name a few. You can find it all and so much more at Evangeline's - it's really an amazing store! I could spend so much time looking at every section and item. Most items are fairly priced, but as with most small businesses, a lot of stuff is sometimes on the pricy side. Don't even get me started on their incredible 3 store costume mansion that is now open year round! It's a must see as well! Staff is friendly and helpful! Check them out!

My family and I frequent this place and find that the time does pass by here quite quickly...quite enjoyably. There are seating areas around where you can take a book for a spin before purchasing. There's just so much to enjoy... The place is brightly lit and well decorated. Apart from books, there's a lot more other things you can buy...vinyl records, toys, even model kits you can assemble in your spare time. And there is always the staff, friendly and knowledgeable about the store and its merchandise. The items are a little on the expensive side, but the quality is worth it. Summertime in Arden can get quite hot, but a relaxing visit to Barnes and Noble here in the Arden Fair Mall area is cool!

As someone who has loved reading since childhood, bookstores have always been a special place for me--and this location has never lost its charm. Whenever I'm near the mall, stopping in here is a must. It's honestly a little dangerous how easy it is to walk out with several books, so I have to pace myself--but that just speaks to how great their selection is. They consistently carry a wide variety of genres I enjoy, and I always find something that catches my eye. The staff have always been helpful and approachable. Whether I've needed help tracking down a specific title, requesting something not in stock, checking a price, or even signing up for a rewards card, they've made the process smooth and easy every time. Over the years, I've also loved seeing how they've expanded beyond books. There's a great selection of board games, anime merchandise, and other fun finds, which makes browsing even more enjoyable. The store is well-organized, and I have always loved that you can freely flip through books before deciding to buy. I've purchased everything from genre fiction to cookbooks, toys, and picture books for my son when he was younger--there really is something here for everyone with a love for stories and a bit of whimsy. Prices are fair, the quality is great, and I've even discovered new authors and series I wouldn't have found otherwise. This Barnes & Noble will always hold a special place in my heart. It's more than just a bookstore--it's a place full of memories.

From gimic stuff to themed T-shirts, stickers, novelty gag gifts and even a adult fun area as well. Even if you're a kid at heart or an adult with a chip on your shoulder they will have something for you to wear or show it some other way. You will understand when you see them massive amounts of themed T-shirts. Service has always been helpful grabbing me something from the top areas or even looking online they will help you if you ask inky experiences. Definitely worth looking around. It is a bit tight in the store for moving around in some spots especially when busy. But that doesn't stop us from time to time checking it out. Ooh and they still sell the lava lamps if you're in need of one.
