    I loved the store! They have the old mystery novels that I collect, so I will be back for more. Please, support a local, small business. There is a book count that they keep. This month, they need to sell 600 books.

    Went in on Sunday and had a great experience! The owner is super friendly, the selection is great (mix of both new and used, leaning into fantasy, scifi, horror). Dogs welcome! Really love having this store in the neighborhood - worth a visit.

    Cozy indie book and music store with a great selection! My fave books to read are fantasy and murder mystery, and the owner Christina always has great new recommendations for me. Bonus: shop is dog-friendly!
