Mariam and her team…read moreare absolutely amazing, she anticipates my next book need before I even realize I need it, is incredibly helpful in ordering my books in-store and helping me find exactly what I need. Every time I walk in I find new things to put on my TBR list, from local authors to unique indie books, popular reads, Christian fiction, fantasy/romance, and the most perfect kids books, she's got it all! Definitely make sure to check out the local artists she has as well! There's pottery and ceramics, mosaics, hand crafted bookmarks, wood pins, stickers, crochet plushies, and so many more unique little things. She also has the most perfect and unique bookish cards for any occasion! One small update from previous reviews - the store IS wheelchair accessible! They have a ramp next to the door they are happy to put out for anyone that may need that! Swallow Stories immediately became part of my weekly routine from the first time I visited, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Shop local, and support this amazing bookstore!!

If you haven't visited Swallow Stories Bookshop off Main Street in downtown Lisle, you are truly…read moremissing out on a local gem. From the moment you walk up, the storefront is one of the most inviting and beautifully curated spaces I've seen. Everything inside feels custom, intentional, aesthetic, and incredibly welcoming. This family friendly shop has books for all ages and offers so much more than just shelves of great reads. They host craft events, story time, journaling meetups, chess classes, author signings, and even a book club you'll want to join. Whether you love writing, reading, or simply being surrounded by creativity, this is your place. There's a kids' table to draw on, warm tea and coffee, and cozy seating perfect for being a "couch potato" while exploring the many genres they carry. My personal favorites? The local artist wares for sale and the mystery book boxes such a fun and thoughtful touch. I felt so privileged to spend time there on Saturday. I'll say it before and I'll say it again: shop local. Support small businesses. Keep bookstores thriving.

This thing ain't half bad! At first I threw them all away - they arrived monthly, unsolicited…read more Then I was skeptical but started reading it anyhow. The articles are pretty interesting, and everything's written by Naperville citizens, businesspeople and law enforcement. There are some cutesy recurring themes, like photos of kids at a certain seasons, a slight irritant to my blase Chicagoness, but it fits in and I can see why they include it. I admit it, I ALWAYS turn to the back of the magazine to check whether my address is listed; whether I won a Rocky Mountain Chocolates gift certificate. There are often good teen advice columns, profiles of businesses, new or established. I can honestly say I learn something new every time I read it. It's especially good for planning kids' activities, around holidays or any time.

If you were looking for a cute book themed or hear me out... capybara themed gift, this place is for you! If you want to grab a book off a shelf and sit on a cozy couch while sipping some complimentary tea, this place is for you!!! It's adorable. New books, like-new used books, antique books and more capybara stuff that I've ever seen. I love it and can't wait to stop in again! Everything is also reasonably priced and the woman who owns it is the sweetest.

After almost a 20 minute wait in line I found out we were locked in the store and I asked why are…read morewe locked in here? They said "we close at 6 o'clock, 7 days a week". I didn't even think to check the hours on the door because I've never seen a retail establishment close at 6 o'clock on a weekday, especially when Halloween is about a week and a half away. There looked to be a short, dark haired woman who appeared to be the manager (with a line of about seven deep) and supposedly the store closed, who just kept walking back-and-forth, not offering to help with anybody in the line or anything like that every time I've come in here it takes forever and a day to check out. It literally takes longer to get your stuff paid for than it does to walk around the whole store and make your purchases!

Do you like motorsport?…read more If you answered yes, then you must stop in Motorsport Collector. The amount of rare and unique die-cast along with books and artwork is something to be seen. Mostly F1, SportsCar, and IndyCar, but also rare items for DragRacing and NASCAR. It's truly the best place to find that missing piece for your collection, or to find a gift for the person who loves all things motorsport. A bit tricky to find, and a bit jammed with inventory, but that type of place has always been gold to me.
