Lopez Bookshop may be one of my favorite bookstores in the Pacific Northwest. The selection of…read morebooks is thoughtfully curated, offering a wonderful mix of genres that cater to readers of all types. There's so much amazingness packed into the shop, it actually overflows into a second space across the hall! In this neighboring space you'll find used books perfect for light summer reading. As I mentioned, there is something for everyone at Lopez Bookshop. My personal favorite section of the store is the children's book nook. It's an entire room of beautiful picture books and young adult novels by some of the most talented writers and illustrators. I could easily spend hours checking out the selections on display, and I'd love to be best friends with the book buyer so we could regularly talk about the latest and greatest in children's literature. Their love of children's books runs so deep, the confines of the book nook wasn't sufficient space to showcase everything. A lovely display of "Picture Books for Readers of All Ages" was featured in the main part of the store, wherein I found several books by Neil Gaiman, Sophie Blackall, and other writers/illustrators I adore. I found my happy place. The sales clerk was incredibly friendly, greeting me just as I walked through the door. She let me know she was there to help if I needed anything, and we had a friendly conversation about how well-curated the selections in the store were. I felt welcome, supported, and happy to shop in such a lovely place. A lot of love has gone into creating this bookstore. Visitors will find beautiful chalk drawings featuring poems and quotes throughout the shop, as well as colorful displays of books faced-out so shoppers can see what's new. Please do me a favor and buy your books from Lopez Bookshop because bookstores owned by true bibliophiles are the most magical places on earth. Shop small and buy local!

It was ugly, but it would work. Disappointing that they aren't inclusive of body types larger than a large. I put on the suit right before we had to leave. Felt something hard inside, thought it was a weird tag or something. With. My. Fingers! I pulled out 2! Pieces of hard shit! I immediately took it off, and there were 2 shit stains! The store didn't wash their clothes!! This is the most disgusting thing ever, and I have traveled all over and backpacked. Shame on them for not washing their shit, but double shame on me for not looking at the crotch . They need to wash everything they get in that store. Especially the swimsuits!!! So upsetting! Worse of all, I showed my friend the ugly suit. I didn't even see the stain in the picture, and she did!

This bookstore is what dreams are made of…read more Serendipity books on San Juan Island is hands down my favorite bookstore. Not only does it have small town flare, but it also has the largest assortment of used books that I've personally seen. The store sits inside a small house on the main strip of San Juan Island. It looks tiny from the outside, but, oh wow, does it hold entire worlds inside. There's a multitude of rooms all themed after each genre. You'll find everything from cookbooks, history, fantasy, young adult, sci-fi, history, fiction, self help, and autobiographies. Like other reviewers have mentioned you might have to do a bit of digging, as most of the books are stacked since they do not have the space on the shelves. Something else to note is that they do not allow food and drink inside, but they do have the cutest fireplace for you to place your hot coffee or tea on to keep it warm. Highly recommend checking out this spot when you're on San Juan Island, and be sure to stop by next-door to pick up a homie style lunch.

Personally, I was looking for the science fiction / fantasy section, and yep, I found one of interest! It was perfect. Others were stopping by and were couples.

From the center of town, head towards the second busiest street that T's in heading towards the Farmer's market. YOU WILL GET SIDETRACKED Because there are lots of places to peruse on the way, but don't forget your mission. Yarn Coffee and a danged nice lady selling both. She dyes her own wool. I bet you could bespoke some colors if you ask her....I dunno...just saying...because she is really into her wool and seems to love what she does. It's just a hunch. At any rate, if you didn't pack your own or you ran out and jonesing to get the needles knocking, I'd come here if I was a knitter and on the island...bored.... If that doesn't appeal, go get a few of those really cool kits that you can make little creatures or cover soap with...that's pretty fun to do too and requires almost zero skill. At either rate, you will get a good conversation at worst and some supplies at best.
