Just WOW, this book store is honestly incredible.
Walking into Fairy tale Books is an experience I haven't been met with at other book stores that are chains. This place has a uniquely hometown feel that is present in locally owned stores and I absolutely love that. It really has to do with the owners being so friendly and welcoming here that give off those vibes.
Walking in you see a selection of books on the wall that are categorized by sections and my favorite was the horror. Another thing that separated this book store from others was the selection of books available. Of course they had your usual horror authors like Stephen King but they had some niche books that I'm not able to find at other book stores.
To the right of entrance was a small kids area behind a door and they had really nice books. My favorite kids book was the Velveteen Rabbit and fingers crossed they get that in stock soon.
They also had a nice anime selection that they keep in stock in a separate room right next to the kids corner. I loved how they rotate the manga frequently. Of course they have your usual mangas like some Demon Slayer, and DragonBall but also Chainsaw man, Death Note, and so many more.
In the corner of the room located behind another door is a beautiful table that's designed for there DND nights. They offer some One-Shots which are great for people looking to play something shorter than the usual campaign that they also offer other types as well.
The owners Ron and Wendy make this magical. So friendly and always with a smile. Willing to help offer and suggestions and answer any questions you may have. They said that they frequently order books so their stock is constantly rotating and even order any books I may be looking for which is so nice of them!
Ron has a studio room in the back where he routinely interviews local authors on his podcast and he hosts their books in the store as well! Which I think is awesome for some local support!
They also do readings of books for their podcast all the time. All of this is done right next door to a coffee shop to so you can enjoy your books while sipping on something.
I'm telling you, stepping into this place, meeting these owners, experiencing this place is an amazing experience everyone should have. If you're looking to support a local business and trying to get some fantastic reading material you need to check this place out. I would give this place an amazing 5/5 stars for the whole time I was there. read more
