“It's small but what's contained inside is vast and the hours are predicated around the five daily prayers (7 days a week). Books can also be ordered online from their website with audio CDs (in store or online). They even have snacks and drinks for those of you with a sweet tooth!!”
“What else can I say about Victorious Praise, you have a church and a Pastor that loves his people. The atmosphere is amazing with people greeting you as soon as you enter the building. I met my wife at growth groups because of Pastor Will taking a different approach on Bible study. If you come to one service you will get the word and truth. So come on out you want be disappointed. Tell them Deacon Bert sent you.”

“Such a cute store. It tiny like it's name but super adorable. They sell children's clothes, toys, puzzles, jewelry, decor for bedrooms, books, etc. Majority of the toys give me the Monastery feel. The employees were super nice and welcoming.”
“I have always loved The Regulator! It is such a cozy space and provides a wide array of topics and books, with a good mix of independent authors, major releases, and local authors. The staff has always been lovely and are fantastic at recommending a good book to pick up. I highly recommend it as a place to stop in and browse for a while. In a time where local book stores are becoming fewer in number every year, I am always so happy that the regulator is still around.”
“This B&N is very neat and organized. It's easy to find someone to help and it seems there are people actively seeking out anyone who needs assistance. The people working the registers are quick and thorough and very kind. I generally go in for books but last time I was looking for hand lettering books and the woman I spoke to thought for .2 seconds and led me right to the section. She pulled out a couple that were exactly what I was looking for and I found a couple more after that. I love that when I get a book and go back for the rest of the series...they have them. So often places carry the first book then you have to order the next in the series. Also the café has DELICIOUS coffee. I'm not a coffee lover so when I get it I like it just so....and they do it exactly the way I like it. I tried the...sugar cooke? Latte? Last time...I thought it was going to be too sweet (and I like sweet) but it was perfection.”
“Really nice people so I feel bad giving 3 stars but beware you can’t actually shop in person. This should be called out in the first line of your google description. Instead it says ‘brick and mortar STORE’. It should say pickup and donations ONLY.
edit: updated my rating it's much clearer now :D”

“Robert Medred wrote a review about a book, of which he didn’t even give the full title of, making it seems as if the book was misleading while also being very rude (calling people mentally challenged online where they can search up your name and find out where you work isn’t very bright).
“Immeasurable Weather” isn’t simply “Immeasurable Weather”, but is, in fact, “ Immeasurable Weather: Meteorological Data and Settler Colonialism from 1820 to Hurricane Sandy.”
Keywords being “settler colonialism” which doesn’t make this a simple “meteorology” book; subtitles are very important. One google search, bro. And hell, it says it on the cover of the damn book. From the get-go, you as a reader are told this is not just about weather…”
“Nice B&N location. This is one of the bigger locations with a lot of different sections. I especially enjoyed perusing the music section. It's nice to see physical media making its comeback.”
“Same problem as a lot of used bookstores, which is that there's a reason people didn't want these books. A lot of the books are low quality, dated, or not of general interest. Does anyone want a political humor book from 15 years ago? Pretty good selection of classic literature though. I'm giving it four stars because some people might enjoy the used bookstore experience more than I do, but it wasn't for me.”
