Description: A cozy independent bookstore in Cornelius offering new books, used books, children’s books, puzzles, toys, gifts, and reader-focused retail items in a warm, shelf-filled setting. The store has a strong browsing atmosphere, with winding rows of books, quiet corners, and casual seating that gives visitors space to slow down and explore. It also offers a book trade program, allowing customers to bring in used books for store credit toward future purchases. Good for book browsing, casual reading, children’s books, gift shopping, trade-ins, and spending time in a relaxed neighborhood bookstore.

Comments: So like, it is literally walls of books, and it’s marvelous. Wonderful. Everywhere you walk, every inch of every wall is covered in books. Seriously. Make sure you turn every corner here, explore the nooks and crannies, the alleys and sideways. Everywhere you’ll find walls of books!

What a lovely place this is. Clearly created by a lover of literature, a bookworms dream. And in all the many corners here, you’ll find chairs. Almost at random, chairs placed all about for people to nestle into. Some comfy armchairs, some cheap plastic ones, walls of books, and chairs here and there for you to sink into among them.

They have free Wi-Fi, but if you’re reading this right now, I forbid you from bringing your laptop here. Read! Read my friend, leave the digital world behind. There’s no end to the books you’ll find here. This is everything a local bookstore should be.

If you’re in Charlotte a day trip to Cornelius to check this place out is worth it. See if you can find my favorite seating spot, an armchair by the front window hidden in a row of books, with some framed news cut outs about the store nearby on the adjacent wall. Find it, and read. Life is better offline. Oh and Caffeto Specialty Coffee is in the same complex, so be sure to check that out as well.
