Just went here for the first time, will definitely be back! It's a little messy but honestly every surface covered in books and cozy is my favorite kind of book store. We got multiple books for less than $20 that would cost a ton new. They have such a variety to choose from and great prices. My new favorite book nook.

I stopped at this bookstore to see what they had. Not a bad place to visit. I personally thought it was a hot mess. Books everywhere, BUT the selection was there.
