As of yesterday, there are 100K of you following our bookstore. 100,000 of you decided to put your support behind a small indie bookstore with a handful of employees and two cats, and we could not be more grateful. 🥲

Thank you for your support. We promise to continue to bring you quality book recommendations, cat photos, and a heavy dose of store nonsense.

POV: you’re defending your favorite book to your coworkers

Let’s be real though, we all have books that we LOVE that might have plot holes, grammatical errors, inconsistencies, or who knows what other flaws. But what’s beautiful about reading is, YOU DONT HAVE TO CARE! Love what you love. We aren’t gonna judge 💁🏻‍♀️
