Has a *literal* perfect green chair (right next to the cream sofa)! Must sit in at least twice before continuing on.

Can't say enough good things about this indie bookstore! The owner is awesome and always has great recommendations. Love supporting small local GNV businesses!

I love this bookshop. They don’t carry everything. One is probably not likely to find the latest Patterson or Steel here. The offerings here are carefully curated and the focus seems to be more on high quality rather than quantity. As the space will allow.Heather is a knowledgeable bookseller and if there is a better kind than that I have yet to meet one. If she stocks it then she will most likely have read it and be able (and willing) to discuss with you on why it’s worth your while.The shop is a reader’s paradise and a true Gainesville gem. It is important. Please help support the indie booksellers so that the place is here for my next read. I don’t wanna have to buy from the Big Box, y’all.

After going to Downtown Tabby, my best friend and I saw Third House books and decided to pop in. I grew up and lived in Gainesville for 23 years, but then moved away. In a lot of ways, I miss Florida and all it’s unique qualities. To satiate that nostalgia, I usually look for local book authors. Finding them online has been a difficult endeavor, however, walking into Third House I was pleasantly surprised to not only see that there were local authors, but also local authors who explored lesser written genres. I was really wanting a new horror novel for my collection, and the store owner pointed me to a book that is of the horror genre and also about queer experiences. It was amazing to see a store not only cater to local authors, but to offer safe spaces and art by queer creators. I loved seeing all of the local art and local merchandise offered. The prices are also really fair.Overall you can’t go wrong with Third House—the owner is also extremely kind and takes customer service to a new level!10/10 recommend

Been closed for years now, expensive books, basically just a drop-shipping scheme not a real bookstore like actually involved in our community. Closed down after covid and hasn’t re-opened, hasn’t hosted any authors that have been doing book tours around florida. And the owner is rude and nasty to deal with. basically have as much respect for this so-called “indie bookstore” as I do a depop reseller.

Ordered a set of books through Third House online, and the books were backordered to the publisher for months. But the folks at Third House kept me updated via email so that I never had to reach out myself to find out what was going on. They couldn't have been more apologetic (despite it not being their fault!) and helpful. If you want to support a local bookstore - no matter where you actually live - I highly recommend Third House as an online option.

They have a wonderful breadth of books; there are some that are tough to come across yet Third House has them. Also, Heather is super cordial and timely about giving updates on online book orders.

I couldn't be happier to have THB as my local book store! I am sad that I haven't been able to visit due to COVID closures, however their online store for purchase was simple to use and a great (safe) alternative!I pre-ordered a book that was released on December 26, and the team at THB emailed an order confirmation but let me know they were taking a ( well deserved) break for the new year and that my order would be mailed on January 4, which was completely reasonable.Imagine my surprise and joy on January 1 when I opened my postbox and saw my package there!I will be supporting THB in any and all ways they allow me to shop with them! <3 Thank-you!!!

Highly recommend doing all of your book buying through Third House! They’re currently open to online shopping due to the pandemic and they are SO quick to response. I made an ordering error and they fixed it immediately. Customer service is quick to respond, very kind, and helpful. I seriously cannot stress how kind, patient, and helpful they are. I received the book within a week of ordering. I can’t wait for things to be safe for the store to open again so I can make a trip to Gainesville and visit the store!
