Hey Y'all,

I'm heading to the other side of the world to fill my cup with beautiful beaches, bookstores, crystals and wildlife!

While I'm gone, I ask that you hold off on bringing in large quanitiy book donations (a small stack or bag full is ok).

All events will run as scheduled!

I will resume ordering new books the week I return. If you pre-ordered titles that come in while I'm gona, staff will be advised!

Thank you for all your love and support year round. Taking time to rest and recharge is essential for small business owners, so I appreciate your patience and hope you'll visit the store while I'm gone! It will be in the best hands ☺️

See you all in June 🩷
