We were visiting with a large group and strolled around here for almost an hour. I loved the different sections and high ceilings. It appears the shop may have a few cats that roam around during the weekdays and am dying to come back to say hello! A great way to support local on your next drive between Austin and Houston, or simply if in the neighborhood! The entire strip is really cute with a variety of shops, art, food, and live music.

Fun to look around. All new books only. They have some cute stationery stuff and I like how their…read moresections in the store and on their website are organized. They actually have some 'modern classics'. I hate when all they have is recently ublished stuff. It's nice and cool in the store and smells good (I mean, like books, not like air fresheners or dust or cigarettes or other crap bookstores sometimes smell of) Its just that.... I wish I could afford a $17 book, which is how much EACH of the three I happened to pick up cost. Another thing was..., when I called for directions (after Google brought me to the self-defense studio just up the hill, from whence no bookstore or sign can be seen) the girl was a little snooty about it. Why you'dwant to be rude to someone who's just about to come in to your store to see you is a mystery to me, but maybe she was having a bad day.

I moved from Austin this month and one thing I knew I would miss is locally owned bookshops. But this is the most wonderful bookstore I've been to. They have an amazingly curated selection, that you can tell is really really intentionally chosen. They have the cutest set up of books, stickers, shirt and more! And everything is super reasonably priced. I am of the mindset that I would love to pay extra to support real people and not big corps :) Kalena was working we chatted with her a bit and she is just so so lovely!!! We learned that she moved back to College Station to open this store with her mom! Make sure you come to the themed nights they have every other month! June they are doing Beaches and Bellinis!!!!! (Obsessed with this obviously) My only negative is that I wish there was room here for a little sitting area so that I could spend all day here!!!

It is not super big but it makes great use of the space it has tons of pre loved books, stickers, various gifts, oracle and Tarot cards, witches candles and so much more. SHANA SAYS: Super cute atmosphere, fun organizing of the books like pre loved, and lots of cute gift items. Plus a cat with its own hours! Kathy was super friendly and helpful. Made the whole experience better and is a genuine person. They do have a game room and a snack bar with free water as well as a keuring and snacks for sale. The bathroom is for everyone and they are very welcoming. Of course as an independent bookstore they have a wide variety of titles with some new books thrown in. They do mystery sells and bundles where you get a vague description of a book that is covered up and you take a chance. It should go without saying but as you are supporting local businesses the prices are a little higher the HPB or Amazon but it means more here and you should buy local when you can. I highly recommend this place. They even have a section where if you spend $50 you get to choose a free gift from books to sunglasses to other items. Go in, say hi to Kathy and The Cat!

They graciously offer them for whatever the person wants to pay for them. I got a wonderful book about bugs for my grandchildren, it has a original price tag on the back of $24.99. This book literally looks brand new. I gave them $10 which I think is a fair price for a secondhand book. I think it's important not to take advantage of their generosity. They also have CDs for music and books on tape and a children's section and fiction and non-Fiction. This is an excellent resource right here in our beautiful Georgetown! The ladies who work here are so kind and generous and sweet and considerate. They were very helpful. I highly recommend this store. I'm going to save this book for a Christmas gift.
