While I should probably get a library card, when it comes to books by my favorite authors, I prefer to add them to my bookshelf permanently. I've known about this book store for a while, but I'm never in the area and I have another one a block away from where I live. That being said, I was nearby, and wanted a coffee so I swung through Kitties. That's when I realized Gramercy Books was connected by a shared wall. I love it! I browsed around, fell deep into their nice selection of plant focused books, then hunted out my favorite authors because I've been in need of a great book that I know I'll love right off the bat. That's when Kurt Vonnegut and Malcolm Gladwell come into play. Lucky for me I hadn't come across Malcolm's newest book yet and they had it. That was a must, as I have almost every other book he's written. I go back and forth on Vonnegut, non-fiction is an awesome way to escape. Being that he's from the midwest (Indy to be exact), a lot of his writings are based in the area which is fun. I was directed to the section he was in by a wonderfully helpful staff member. They had several of his writings I don't already have so I swiped one of those up too. If you're like me and prefer the OG way of diving into a good book, this book store is a lovely choice. It's definitely a locally owned one that's worth the drive.

Absolutely fantastic bookstore…read more PROS: -Plentiful, easy parking. This is in a strip mall with lots of space, and tons and tons of parking space. -It doesn't feel like a "sit and read" kind of place. They have a few chairs near the front door for sitting, but I honestly enjoy the lack of a ton of sitting space. It feels like a place you can actually talk about books without feeling like a librarian is going to glare at you. -They have a bathroom! I know, fancy stuff. But legit, a lot of strip mall retail businesses don't have a bathroom. Storyline, specifically, has a single unisex restroom. It's clear this is/was the employee backroom, yet they leave it available to customers. Plus, complimentary feminine care products. Seriously, this is a level of care that needs to be shouted out. -Lots of book options. With limited shelf space, most of the "normal" books are single copies out on the shelf with "trendy" books having multiple copies for purchase. This maximizes the number of books available for purchase. -Really organized with gigantic hallways and walkways. No stairs to enter anywhere. A few of the bookstores in town feel super cramped; this one feels really spacious with skylight windows and lots of walkways. It feels so welcoming. Each "type" of bookshelf is really well-organized too, including clear shelf separation between "Fantasy", "Romance", and "Romantasy", really getting more granular than the "stereotypical" organization. -Littleton's Market, with its coffee shop is in the same strip mall. They have tons of seating over there if you want to take your book that way for reading. Crimson Cup is also down the street, though you'll need to drive to that one. -All the books look pristine. I didn't see a single copy that had bent pages or folded-over covers. -They have a cute tiny kid's rocketship in the children's book area, and it's like a super-small play space that could entertain a kid or two if parents wanted to browse books elsewhere. -It's a new bookstore, and the books are priced like new copies of the books. A few were on Kindle Unlimited, but for the ones that weren't, the prices here at Storyline were cheaper than buying on Amazon. We bought a couple, as I'm happy to support a small business in town, and I was just impressed to see that their pricing is so competitive to Amazon. CONS: -I really don't have a single thing. I'd love for it to have an attached coffee shop, but now I'm just changing their entire business plan on them.
