Does he answer your calls? We do.
Does he know your favorite genre? We do.
Does he remember what you bought last time? We might.

Honestly, why are we still comparing? 😂

Your favorite bookstore is here when you need a new read, a very specific recommendation, or simply another book you absolutely did not plan on buying.

At this point, we’re not saying we’re better than him…
but we’re definitely available during business hours. 📚

Going to the bookstore with someone who won’t judge how many books you walk out with…

So I took myself. 😂📚

No judgment. No commentary. No one asking, “How many books do you actually need?” Just me, minding my business and fully supporting my own literary decisions.

Honestly, it’s nice going with someone who shares my taste in books. 😉

EVERY NEW WORLD STARTS WITH THIS ONE.

Kingdoms. Empires. Wars. Revolutions. Inventions. Beliefs. Brilliant ideas. Terrible decisions.

The things we find in fantasy and science fiction didn’t appear from nowhere.

Writers have been borrowing from history for centuries.

Visit our in-store history display and check out all of these books and more online!

Then Enter New Worlds.

Real men? Complicated. Fictional men? Emotionally available, obsessed with you, and somehow always know exactly what to say. 😂📖

So honestly, maybe the solution isn’t dating apps… maybe it’s just spending more time at the bookstore.

Come find your next fictional crush at Parallel Universe Bookstore. We won’t judge. 😉

A brief description of our business:

Books. Dragons. Aliens. Monsters. Magic.
RPGs you know. RPGs you don’t.
A little science. Some history. And, naturally, democracy.

It’s very specific.

When the customer review is better than anything we could’ve written ourselves. 💚📚We’re so grateful for every kind word,...

💍🎲 POV: Your partner gets down on one knee and opens the box…

…but instead of a diamond, there’s a sparkly D20 staring back at you.

Do you:
A) Roll for romance
B) Immediately say yes
C) Ask what your bonus action is
D) Roll a natural 20 and start planning the wedding

Honestly, if they know your alignment AND your preferred dice set… that’s basically true love. 😂

🎲 D20 proposal dice available at Parallel Universe Bookstore…because sometimes the most important roll of your life isn’t a perception check. 😉
