The books were so well priced. I got the whole AGGGTM series for $27!! The people working there were very kind and helped me find the books I wanted. The selection was great with all the book-tok books and uncommon ones you can think of. This is by far my favorite book store! Some books are second hand, and they are always in great condition! You couldn't even tell! You should totally come to this place! read more

Sudden Fiction Books - As good as dead book 12.99 - Bookstores Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

My experience here was infuriating from start to finish. First, the staff completely refused to help my son find a book. When we finally found it ourselves and went to the front desk, the employees deliberately ignored us while we were actively trying to check out. ​When I finally confronted the staff and asked if there was an issue with us shopping there, the manager, Angelica, was incredibly hostile. She snapped and claimed we were "not purchasing customers"--which was a blatant lie, considering we had already bought one book and were standing there trying to hand them money for a second one. ​To make matters worse, Angelica's terrible attitude was entirely fueled by petty retaliation. She became angry and refused to assist us simply because I declined their insultingly low offer for my trade-in books. Angelica is completely unsuited for a management role, and the staff's exclusionary, rude behavior is unacceptable. Take your business elsewhere to a store that actually values its customers. read more

Such a cute bookstore in downtown Castle Rock! They have a great selection of books in every genre. The service was especially amazing! The woman working was so kind and friendly. They do fun events for popular book releases, so if you're a local reader make sure you keep an eye out for release parties! Finally, if you're looking for good books with a good price then make sure you checkout their used book table. The books are all in good condition but for a good price! read more

This will teach me from ordering off Amazon The employees at sudden fiction are absolute sweethearts. I received a bent LIMITED EDITION from Amazon that they wouldn't replace... sudden fiction had one more copy that they held for me and It's perfect. I realize this is a manufacturer error but these guys went above and beyond for me in terms of service itself! (Top is Amazon, below is suddens!) read more

Sudden Fiction Books - Bookstores Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

I love this place. Hidden gem for sure. I am so glad I stumbled on this place. The associate was friendly and helpful. Not judgmental as we were browsing then. So many books I wanted to buy but no budget for it right now. Gift ideas bounced in my mind. They have local artists' works for sale too which is great. Used books and discounted new books. Children's books and classics are among the selections. I could get lost here for hours. We will be back. Street parking. read more

Sudden Fiction is a small bookstore with a great selection. It's very easy to order books on their website for delivery or in-store pickup.

Very nice local bookstore. Great fiction selection and they can order anything you need.

Super cute book store in Castle Rock. Love that they sell new and used books in all genres for book lovers of all ages. Their prices are great and reasonable, the owners are very friendly and knowledgeable. There's also a cute little coffee bar area and plenty of seating. And they also host fun little events a few times a year! It's great to see small local bookstores doing so well. read more

Sudden Fiction Books - Bookstores Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

A lot smaller then the used bookstore I was used to back home. They seemed to have a variety of genres & titles to choose from despite the small space. My husband & I just quickly popped in to check out the space so I'd have to go back to see how I felt about being able to make this my go to bookstore. Some things I look for in a recycled bookstore are the ratio of popular titles or their stock of new vs. old books. How great is their trade in policy? If I'm looking for a specific book, that usually has to be an Amazon purchase but otherwise if I'm in the market for anything that catches my eye, these places are my go-to spot. I love the downtown Castle Rock location & the employee seemed friendly & helpful so I'll definitely give it a shot when I'm in need of new books. read more

Lovely independent bookstore in a huge building with other businesses. The bookstore is located at the top left when you enter the doors. They have a good selection of books ranging from fiction to children's board books. It looks like they also buy used books. And they have a sign to temper your expectations as to how much your books may be worth. Point is, your used books are probably not worth that much. If you're in the area definitely check them out. read more

Very friendly shop owner, a nice selection for a smaller shop, good local place to buy used books. In a somewhat confusing spot but once you read the signs it's fine. Would recommend If you're in the area checking it out. read more

Their new larger store with more inventory and the addition of beer on tap and the coolest pour over coffee contraptions is fantastic. Unsure of the review regarding only fantasy in their old store. Fantasy is the first bookshelf by the door they have a section for every genre. The person clearly didn't walk in. Local support apparently has given this little gem the opportunity to move into a larger location! Gina an owner is always great to chat with on my Saturday visits and always has great book suggestions. read more

Though tiny, treasures abound in this quaint bookstore. The owner's passion is evident in the hand selected new and used books that line the shelves. Staff is knowledgeable and quick to make recommendations so that you're sure to find a read you just can't put down. Books for children and adults are plentiful, and prices are incredibly fair. While the ease of e-readers and ordering on amazon can't be denied, this place will remind you of the tactile joys of exploring shelves for your next reading adventure, of holding a real book, getting lost in the pages. If you're a bibliophile, treat yourself to a visit to Sudden Fiction and investing some time in old school literary love. read more

See all

Finally... a used and new bookshop in Castle Rock! The people I'veet here are lovely and helpful. The book selection is great! I wish it were a bigger space, but I'll take what I can get in this town. I was so excited when this place opened. The problem is; even when they are supposed to be open, they are usually closed. What's the problem?! Today it was our first snow of the season... not too much, a little cold. They're closed. Really disappointing. read more

Awesome quaint bookstore with such a huge variety. They take in books as well if you donate to the shop - however I will warn that you won't get much store credit or so for donating... was a bit disappointed after donating 20+ books just to have $3 in store credit when those books cost me a lot in general. Overall local great book store in town! They even have a coffee shop in the back. Staff is super friendly & helpful, definitely check them out! read more

I came in here and was excited to get my hands on some new books as the ones I had been reading, I finished. When I walked in I just realized how small it was. All the books that where there when I was there seemed to be young adult. Everything www fantasy with a few exceptions of classics. Should be called Sudden Fantasy Books. read more

I discovered Sudden Fiction after eating lunch in downtown Castle Rock. The store is on the second floor of the Ecclesia Market -- a quaint, refurbished old church building filled with small businesses, ranging from a specialty grocery store to a bar and food vendors. Sudden Fiction is run by avid bibliophiles, and carries a wide range of both new and used books. My wife was drawn to the children's section, as well as non-fiction and woman's fiction; I loved the thrillers, science fiction and biographies. The staff is friendly and eager to help, with great recommendations. Their prices compete with Amazon -- but you can hold the book in your hand and walk out of the store with it, something that an on-line seller can never match. Castle Rock needs to support this new bookstore. read more
