    Staff was nice, they had a great indie selection, and a really cute aesthetic! I was able to get multiple books on my tbr!

    This romance focused bookshop has been on my bucket list for months! Located in Roscoe Village, it's about a 40 min train ride from central Chicago (via the Brown line). If you're a romance book lover, this shop is not to be missed! Their selection is extensive including sections for contemporary, dark, sports, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, etc. Plus, they also sell adorable bookish merch (apparel, tote bags, stickers, bookish candles, bookmarks, etc.) I love that they sell smaller, indie authors you can't find at chain bookstores like B&N and are always stocking new releases. Roscoe Village is such a lovely neighborhood to walk around, and the staff at TLC were so nice. Needless to say, it would be very dangerous indeed if I lived nearby!

    As an avid romance reader, and someone who has been a follower of the Last Chapter on IG, when I heard that they were opening up a romance book shop an hour away I was geeked! I have keeping up with sneak peaks, and when grand opening finally happened I was so excited. I dropped by first thing Saturday morning and there was a pretty steady amount of gals shopping around already. So I followed the crowd, geeking out over the different Photo Booth options, and the merch. There were a few pieces I loved online and was hoping to catch in store but I'm sure with the huge grand opening the week before they were low on stock, which is totally okay because if they had it all I may or may not have left with it all. I started shopping around. With booktok happening, I owned a good amount of the books towards the front of the store, but discovered tons of new ones that I had never heard of before and now have on my tbr list. I love supporting local bookstores if I'm able to! So shopping here was so much fun. I was hoping to see more books on the shelves as it was pretty sparse but I know they've been crazy busy so I'm sure a lot of it got bought! I did end up buying 4 books, a crewneck and a few stickers. Looking forward to visiting again when I'm in the area!

    I stumbled onto this bookstore when I was in Roscoe Village a couple weeks ago. They were not yet open so when I was in the neighborhood today I popped in for a few minutes. I did drive by on their opening day and the line to get in was two abreast down the sidewalk and went around the corner; I'd already planned to visit at some point but this made me want to visit it even more. The Last Chapter is a bookstore with a theme, which is ~*~ ROMANCE ~*~ and I would argue that GLAM is a secondary theme. This small shop delivers on the romance books of course, and you're sure to fund your decorate romance trope lining the shelves. When I was here I heard a customer ask if they carried LGBTQ lit and the proprietor said that they'd sold out of all of it during their grand opening (restock coming soon!).They have merch as well; I loved the shirts supporting Black and Latine writers. There was a lovely sitting area in the front of the store and near the back there are three selfie booths that is such an adorable touch! The owner was so welcoming. I love that she is involving her community with the photo booths to encourage socials media interaction and by seeking author suggestions from patrons. If you are a romance fan, definitely stop by Chicago's newest bookshop.

    This is the cutest romance book store. They have little nooks with different themes you can take pictures in. They have a lot accessories like, stickers, candles, bookmarks, coffee mugs, and apparel. They have one seating area but it I don't think it's to sit and read while there. The biggest issue I think I had is the pricing on everything. It was overpriced. I think it was just the experience of the store was cute but the pricing needs to be a bit more reasonable. The staff greeted us when we first walked in but didn't ask if we needed help or anything.

    Very cute romance book store! I had never been in a bookstore solely for romance so i was very excited. Book selection is why I am writing this review. I was hoping coming into a smaller book store I'd find romance books I had never seen before but it was all the generic books you can find at Barnes or Target. I would have loved to see some Kindle Unlimited books that no one seems to put in their stores, Sadie Kincaid, Shantell Tessier, Nicci Harris, Danielle Lori... their dark romance selection had nothing much in it, with books that are not even dark. I feel like if they take some suggestions and order a new selection of books they may thrive :)

It feels really cozy inside and I could spend an hour or so perusing the book selection. They also have a nice variety of bookish gifts and cards. The best part is the sale corner in the back where you can find books of all kinds marked down to really reasonable prices. I'll always stop at Sandmeyer's when I'm in the area!

    What a gorgeous location to have a bookstore! Sandmeyer's Bookstore sits in Printer's Row and is a…read morevery lit and airy environment. The selection is not too bad, considering they are recovering from a flood. There are so many titles and a vast array of topics available. I found some classics, fiction, a wonderful selection in their non-fiction area, and translated books. They also provide you with lists of books that have won prizes or coincide with different regions in the USA and the world! I thought that was very helpful. It's a medium-sized store, but their displays are quite prominent. Everything is easy to grab (no ladders or staff needed to get to the high books). All the areas are labeled and it's visually pleasing. The staff was nice, too. Checkout was easy and they were friendly. Prices are standard of paperbacks and hardcovers. You are paying for an indie bookseller (I paid about $40 for two books, which includes tax). I wasn't at all disappointed with the price. They also have a loyalty program for those that are regulars. I really am happy I checked out this spot. It was beautiful and friendly. There was a lot of books and totes to chose from, it was hard not to leave with more in my bag!
