Discovering new bookstores during my travels has become a new passion of mine, so when I checked…read morefor indie bookstores in the DFW area, Talking Animals Books was one of the first to pop up. From the few photos and the name, I thought it would be more of a children's bookstore but I was so wrong. As soon as you enter, the amazing staff welcomes you and is eager to help you find any books you are looking for. Right at the entrance they had the fantasy and romance section which is a personal favorite, and I immediately found a couple of books that have been on my list. I absolutely LOVED that they had self published books from indie authors, which is so rare to find at any local bookstore (you usually have to wait for them to be re-published by a publisher to find them anywhere besides Amazon). They also have a children's section which is super cute, and I found a couple of things for my little one. On the top floor they have a couple of couches for you to hang out and a section of used books. Frankly, this was one of the best bookstores I found in the DFW area, and I can't wait to come back and support them!

Personally, I love stores with personality. You know the place, where there are little built ins for sitting, and slanted walls, and a wall of vintage books designed as art that make you stop and just want to take it in. Thats this place.... Just charming. The kids section is pure magic! Whomever designed it did it thoughtfully. There's a top shelf that really paints the picture. It has an umbrella with clouds on it, along with crowns and swords. It just makes you want to hang out in this room all day. And this room is filled with stories waiting to be told. Books waiting to be read. Chairs waiting for children to sit in them. Just lovely!

I love that they partner with local businesses and display local goods in the store. There's usually parking in the front and side of A House with Books. I perused their stickers and picked up a couple of them. They also have plants for sale near where seating for Casi Cielo is. I ordered the apple cider donut and the London fog (Jane Austen inspired). The cider was crunchy and sweet which paired well with the London fog. There's a beautiful story behind Casi Cielo and I enjoyed meeting the co-owner Marisa. I look forward to my next visit to A house with books.

From manga, anime,…read moreanime goodies, anime soundtracks, art books, CDs, novels, gundams, language books, and even cute stationary. If you like to collect manga and want to see a huge variety of selections, this is the place. I really like that they also have a selection of manga in Japanese! The art book aisle is awesome. It's hard to find art books in other bookstores, and even places like Barnes and Noble won't have a selection as varied as Kinokuniya. Despite the endless aisles of manga, I've surprisingly noticed that they're missing a few decently known manga. Unless I keep missing it, I've never seen The Case Study of Vanitas in their aisle, but they have the author's other work, Pandora Hearts, in there, for example. I would also say Kinokuniya is limited with their selection of anime goodies. I like that they're all very much authentic and different from your typical anime store selling pop figures and easy to find Bandai/Banpresto stuff, but their blind box selections are also becoming easy to find in other places because it's all the mainstream shows. Overall, if you're looking to expand your collection, this is the place to go.

Friends of the Keller Library is actually a nonprofit that benefits the local library. Most of the books they sell were donated by people or other stores, and all the profits from the sales go back to supporting the library next door. I've been to other similar stores around the state and was pleasantly surprised at how organized this one is. The volunteers working there were also very friendly and helpful. I also like that they had a station with complimentary coffee for customers. They didn't have the largest selection of books, but the children's section was really nice so I would definitely recommend this place for families. Last but not least, they also had free magazines towards the back of the store which I thought would be great for school projects or vision boards.

Big selection of books; don't you just love the feel of a real book in your hand in these days of digital content?? Pretty clean store, save a few (coffee, I'm sure) stains on the carpet near the coffee shop. Smells like new books and coffee. The Starbucks does NOT accept the Starbucks app, btw, in case that applies to you! The staff are friendly enough and were patient with us as we made our selection and negotiated the payment method between members of our party. Prices aren't cheap, but they do honor some price matching. I think it's worth it to keep physical book stores around. Imagine all those sad and lonely freshly printed books hanging out in the dark, tucked away in large boxes in a warehouse waiting to be sold... instead of being propped or stacked on a shelf with many a peruse-r to handle them until "the one" decides to take you home!

VHS- unfortunately one of the worst vhs spots out of all the HPB in dfw. Very small selection. the tapes are all individually priced which I normally don't like, but to be fair they are often priced pretty cheap so not a huge complaint but I do wish they would follow the example of other locations and make them all a set price unless it's something particularly rare. Video Games- good, big supply, pricing at HPB on video games is almost always wack, but I have found a few affordable gems here. Their glass display is always full. Also constantly new items. Occult- The BEST occult section in Dallas out of all HPB, they have a glass display in the 'occult' section that is nearly always full. I have cleared it out a couple times, some of my very best rare occult book finds have been here. (Prices are often too high but... that's just HPB)m The staffing here is great, always super nice, and often very knowledgeable. It's nice to shop somewhere where it seems the staff enjoys working there. A great location overall
