The store is very quaint and there are two sides. The main side is a bit small and you may find yourself bumping into things. The other side was more open but also contained what looked like an alter and iykyk don't mess with someone's alter so I stayed close to the books and tarot cards. If you are looking for something to help cleanse your space, get started on your journey or add to your already building journey, this is a great place.

I had the joy of going to the new location for Monarch shortly after they opened it! I LOVED the…read moreatmosphere, book selection, and the fact that they also had plants and gift items as well. My one lament is selfish, and that's the fact that the antique books were, from what I understand, for display only (I collect antique books, so I always have an eye out for places to browse for them). I believe the person I met there when I went was the owner, who was extremely friendly! Plus I love that it's a locally owned store. Overall I really loved visiting and browsing. Monarch is definitely one of my go-to bookstores now!

It was my first bookstore stop the week we moved. Since my first visit over a year ago, Seven Stories has quickly become a "third place" for me. I love how dedicated Seven Stories is to supporting local artists, BIPOC artists and writers, LGBTQIA+ stories, and the Shawnee community overall. Whether you are looking to browse or stay a while, it is always worth the visit. Check out their special events and book clubs, too! Seven Stories, and the community they have built, feels like home.

Plenty of children's titles, lots of current fiction, and a strong selection of biographies all round out the shop. You can also browse the games & puzzles selections, locally made postcards & prints, and other Kansas City-oriented items. I picked up a fun game of 'Haikubes', a series of cubes with differing words and themes with which to build Japanese poetry. What a find! Parking is easy and browsing is easy. Definitely a vibe of a 'book store' with the space & service. Check it out!
