He offered me coffee and gave me the history of the bookstore. He even took his time to grind me a bag of coffee!!! Not to mention Chardai personally reached out to me on status of book swag that I was looking for! That follow up and follow through really matters! Amazing staff! The book selection is phenomenal and even had the new Kennedy Ryan release available! The books are categorized by genre which makes it easy for shopping. They have vinyls for sale In the front of the store and in their back area. In the back is this super cute grandmas basement type setup with vintage couch seating, walls of crates of vinyls, a DJ booth AND a vinyl listening station that allows you to sample the vinyls.

It's easy to visit a bookstore and find all the feature books to be by the same people: James Patterson, Colleen Hoover, and Taylor Jenkins Reid. That's great, but what about other authors and genres?? I saw not one of the previously mentioned books (and I loved it), but instead authors and titles I'd never heard of. I ended up purchasing two titles I knew nothing about. They say never judge books by the cover? Why not? If they're beautiful, then buy them. That's what I did, and I loved both books! The selection was incredible, and certain books had blurbs written by the staff to help with your decision-making. This store has so much to offer for a variety of audiences. Give it a try next time you're in Silver Spring.

I was walking my dog in the area when we stumbled upon mojomala. I didn't want to bring her in but…read moreI was interested in all the cool things I saw in the window display. I guess my dog thought so too because she would not move. The owner Michael came out and said he didn't have a problem if we wanted to take a look. That was very nice of him. Once inside my dog and I were pretty excited. She was eager to browse and I was eager to take my time in looking through all the neat things. There were so many cool things to see from vinyl records to book ends. There's a lot of collectibles as well. I ended up buying a book on Gandhi and a bandana for my dog. I look forward to coming back!
