I finally went into this cute look bookstore and I loved it. They have a banned books section, romance, young adult, children's area, and more. What I loved most was that we could bring our pup inside! This allowed me to look around more and see all they had to offer. Definitely plan to go back.

I am a big fan of both Writers Block locations. They have a wonderful selection of books including local authors. We stopped into this location a few weeks ago to get the kids a couple of books and also add a few titles to my wishlist for future reading. The staff here is most helpful. During our visit it was packed and my son had questions about a couple books and the team member there helped all the customers and took the time to walk him to a couple spots where the books he wanted were located. Check them out!

Bookworm's dream! For being a smaller bookshop, I still could have been in there for hours. They have all of the popular books. The cutest book accessories. Prices are normal. The book I purchased had a tiny bend at the bottom corner. Most likely from customers picking it up and putting it back carelessly. The employee offered me 10% because of it. Super happy. I wish they had this shop in South FL.

I have been looking for a local bookstore for so long and I am so glad I found Writer's Block Bookstore! They have all of your favorite book, annotation tools, tote bags and more! It really is a book lovers dream! I love that the staff has organized book clubs throughout the months and different book events for new releases. Even though it's a small bookstore, the prices seemed comparable to larger retailers such as Barnes & Noble and Booksamillion from what I could see. I love that I can shop at a small local bookstore now!

The Writer's Block Bookstore is the perfect addition to downtown Winter Garden. The store is loaded with best sellers, self help, inspirational and so much more. There is an amazing children's area that the little ones will enjoy shopping in and lots of fun merchandise to meander through while looking for books. The staff is very friendly and the overall atmosphere is excellent. Shopping here is a fun and rewarding opportunity to support a local small business.

Such a great addition to the Plant Street area of Winter Garden. A bookstore was really all this local shopping area needed. From adults to children books there were many to choose from. There is even a children's nook area towards the back of the store.

Love that our neighborhood finally has a bookstore! This independent bookstore opened a downtown Winter Garden location on Friday and it is small but fierce. They even offered a 10 percent discount for their opening. The owners put a lot of time and love into artfully arranging the bookstore. Shopping here was as fun as shopping in Waterstones bookstore in Piccadilly London. They had holiday books displayed in the front and a children's section in the back which was thoughtfully organized by age and themes. They also have a nice collection of stationary and small gifts. Definitely plan to make this my go to bookstore.

Really enjoy the bookstore in downtown Winter Garden. They have a second location in Winter Park. We visit each time we are in the area. Yes, you can find any book here on Amazon. That is not the point. Local bookstores need the support. I'm ok paying the extra $10.00. The service is great. They have a fantastic selection to chose from. My daughter will pick her book out and always sits down on their comfortable chairs to begin her book. Well done Writers Block in Winter Garden. Keep up the great work.

Quaint little nooks.

My best friend and I went on a quest to find bookstores we have not visited before. I saw this one…read moreon someone's instagram stories and was intrigued. First, they have a lot of books. When I first walked in I wasn't even sure where to begin but it was great to be able to browse and see their extensive collection. Staff is very friendly and let us know that they curate their books from donations. If you donate your books to them, they create an account where you can have a credit on file to use. As someone, that occasionally does donate books, this is fantastic news! Additionally, all of their books unless otherwise stated are half off the cover value which is incredible and affordable! They definitely had something for everyone there. I look forward to visiting them again, hopefully with some books to give them!

The Book Rack in downtown Ocoee is not only a great place to shop for used books; it's also a great…read moreplace to bring in any of your own used books for credit. You're not only decluttering your house, but you're helping out a small local business. With every book you bring in, you receive credit toward future purchases. I already have more credit than I'll probably ever use, but I'm happy that my previously read books are going to a good home. The store has a pretty decent used book selection with floor-to-ceiling shelving (and also some graphic novels, CDs, and DVDs). It's always hit-or-miss, so each time I go; I never know what I'll find. There's also a little sitting area with coffee or hot cocoa, if you so desire. How much are the used books? They're half off the cover price. How does the credit work? You get an additional half off the half-off price. So if a book has a cover price of $8, the store sells the book for $4. I can use my credit balance for an additional $2 off (half of the $4), leaving the book at a total of $2. There are also some $1 books on a rack outside the store. Everyone working there is always super friendly and helpful.

If I ever owned a collectibles store, I would want it to look exactly like Gods & Monsters. This…read moreplace is impressively clean, fun, and thoughtfully laid out. Everything is where it should be--grouped by theme or franchise--so browsing feels more like exploring a curated pop culture museum than digging through clutter at some grungy and junky comic shop. The selection is fantastic: from comics and statues to posters, small plush, otaku, Pops, action figures, high-end collectibles, and more! Whether you're a gamer, a movie buff, sci-fi fan, or just love cool merch, you'll find something to geek out over for sure. The staff? Genuinely great. Friendly, welcoming, and super knowledgeable without being pushy. You can tell they love what they do, and it will make your experience that much better. You can actually have a real conversation with these guys! I am so tired of visiting stores that hire snotty, vacant, or indifferent employees. You DO NOT have to worry about that here. Oh, and they've got a geek bar inside the back of the store. Seriously. It was a bit too early in the day for me to grab a drink but it looked awesome the way it was decorated, so I'm definitely coming back with my wife some evening (and hopefully soon!). Plus, they're open late--huge win. Also, the location is perfect... right off International Drive and not far from Universal Studios. Whether you're a local or visiting Orlando, this is a must-stop spot. Highly recommended.

We needed a costume for Megacon and ended up at Gods and Monsters, what a fun little spot! Parking…read morewas easy and plentiful, and the store is tucked inside a cute covered plaza. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. While we wish they sold more masks and costume accessories, we were pleasantly surprised by how many cool items they did have. The store is very clean and well-organized. Highlights included the giant Gremlins and Pokémon vending machine, though sadly it was out of order, it was still fun to see! We also noticed a neat speakeasy out back that we definitely want to check out next time. Overall, this is a great spot for any nerd, collector, or cosplayer. We really enjoyed our visit and plan to come back!
