We are a month away from hosting New York Times bestselling author of "Summers at the Saint" and "Hello, Summer," Mary Kay Andrews, for a book talk & signing on her newest novel “Road Trip.” She will be in conversation with bestselling author of “These Summer Storms,” Sarah MacLean, on June 12th @ 7pm!

Purchase of the book is required to attend the event and join the signing line. To attend, please click on “Add to Cart” and make sure it is set to “Store Pickup” and not “Shipping.” If you cannot make it to the event and would like to purchase a signed/personalized copy of the book (for pickup or to be shipped), please add your desired personalization to the “add a note for the seller” box on the payment page of your cart. You can also give us a call at the store if you have any questions

Hope to see you there!

Did you know we have a curated book subscription called The Next Read? We choose books for you based on your taste. Once a month, the recipient of your choice (or you) will receive a hardcover book hand selected by our well read booksellers.

📚What you can expect:

We carry thousands of books, browse all the major (and some boutique) publishers and can curate a nice stack for your TBR. You may receive a classic, a recent release, or maybe even something a little obscure ~ all books will be new (not used) hardcovers.

When you sign up for a box, we ask that you share with us three favorite books (both title and author) so we can get ideas for your Next Read ;)

Each box will include the book and a handmade one-of-a-kind bookmark, all beautifully handwrapped with high quality, heavy stock and/or handmade wrapping paper and tied with a vintage ribbon.

You will get your first package shortly after you subscribe! If you would like your first order to arrive on a particular day, please reach out to us, we will do our best to accommodate!

If you receive a book you already own, you can send it back to us via media mail and we will pay to ship a replacement title to you!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out via email or phone! There is also more information available on our website, see link in bio.

We curate each box based on your taste, so every box will be a surprise tailored just for you!

New rare book just added to the floor!

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe
$600
This copy is a first edition later printing of this historic book. Definitely worn but for a 174 year old book not too bad (I know if I was 174 I would look nowhere as good).
Perhaps one of the most influential American novels of the 1800s.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
