    “FINALLY! A bookstore made for me.”

    I’ve been stalking their Instagram for months and I’m obsessed with the vibe already. Plants, romance books, community events? Take all my money. I’ve already told like 6 friends we’re making this our new Sunday ritual.

    “Counting down the days like it’s Christmas.”

    We don’t have anything like this in Tacoma, and I genuinely feel like this store is going to be something special. Cozy, magical, and clearly built with love. Can’t wait to walk in for the first time.
