Box Turtle Books is more than just your local indie bookstore.

Box Turtle Books is a fiercely independent bookstore that exists to gather the readers, stir up the thinkers, and make our community a little louder, smarter, and more alive. We envision a future where rural shelves are full of stories, readers shape the culture, and everyone feels like they belong.

FYI 📣 I need one more day to get the shop ready for the holiday season, so we are closed TODAY (Tuesday, November 3rd). I have a couple of shelves to repair, displays to arrange, and lots of Christmas things that are ready to stock. Regular hours return tomorrow, November 4th. In the meantime, GO VOTE! 🗳️

TOMORROW! (10/31) We have two local authors joining us for Halloween: Huntercritt and P.M. France will be in the shop promoting their books. If you love dark tales with twists and turns, both of these books will be right up your alley. Come chat with the authors and check out their stories from 12 to 3:00 pm on Saturday 📚✨

Why yes, we do have her in stock 💝

If you had a preorder and weren’t in attendance at the midnight release party, your book is ready for you today! We have extra copies available for those who didn’t preorder, but I can’t say how long they’ll last—it’s already our most popular item today!
