    This is an amazing little bookshop, I really enjoyed the layout the vibe and my wife loved it here too. The selection was wonderful and they had each one split up into subject and genre type. It was easy to find what type world you wanted to dive into. I know the target audience is for female readers and I was still able to find some books of interest but it would be nice to have a little for him spot. Price wise they were fair and on point. They have a wide variety of bookmarks, stickers, little stuffed animals etc... The staff was sweet and great with sharing their favorites and ideas on books I was looking at. I loved that they hat photos of them all and the fur babies of the shop. This is an amazing little spot and we will both be back. Thank you for being amazing!!

    I've done a few events at Heartbound. It was recommended to me by my hair stylist. I was sold on that this place as Taylor Swift vibes, and it does! It's a tiny romance store with pink and pastel florals. Sometimes they'll have signings or a pop up coffee vendor. I've been to various romance bookstores up and down the west coast, I love how this has its own selection and highlights local authors. The value of the books here, price wise, is about the same at MSRP, but they do have sales and book exchange events too. This little romance bookstore is building community among OC femme readers and I'm here for it

    My favorite local bookstore! It's all romance, which is my absolute favorite. The shop is super cute, packed with amazing books to discover and the sweetest bookish accessories to go with them. Definitely a must-visit!

    Stopped by on a weekday to check out this place with my book buddy and it was such an amazing experience! The hours of this place are a bit odd so definitely make sure to check their insta before you go. They could be open outside of the hrs posted on the website! I'm pretty sure that's what happened with us. Anyways, it was decorated with Christmas decorations and was just overall so cute and girly! It's organized well and all books were so crisp and new. Overall, a very aesthetically pleasing shop! They have a wide selection of romance book subgenres from sports to contemporary to suspense to fantasy. They do have the popular books you see everywhere but they also have a lot of indie authors too. I was impressed by the amount they had. A lot of the books I'd never heard of before! I think the owners did a great job in curating a very diverse romance bookshop. Other cool things in the shop include bookmarks, kindle accessories, merch for the store, and blind dates with a book! I ended up getting a blind date with a book because I'm so indecisive. It also came with a free bookmark of your choosing! Workers were very friendly and helpful. You could really tell they share the same kind of love of books, especially romance ones, as you do! Pricing is pretty fair for the books, expect to pay normal prices since it is a small indie bookshop. Overall, as romance book lovers, my friend and I loved this place! It's definitely worth checking out if you like romance books and cute bookish merch. It is so unique! There aren't very many places like this in the area so I'm so happy there's one local. Please check it out!

    This book shop is tucked away on Broadway right in between Harbor and Anaheim Blvd. It's such a cute, quant little shop, and the family that runs it is so sweet. My friend and I have stopped in a couple of times and everyone that works there is so helpful with so many good recommendations. The selection of indie authors is unmatched and prices are pretty good as well ! Not to mention that if it's available, your purchase comes with freebies from the authors, which I absolutely loved. I purchased several books from here and to my surprise, turns out they were signed ! Overall a 10/10 experience from selection, service, and value for what you're buying. They've very quickly become my go to book store

    The cutest indie bookstore. Found so many good books that I've never seen before. Definitely one of my new favorites.

    How in the world did I let this used bookstore slip under the radar? It's been here for 20 years?…read more What? I feel so ignorant! We do not have many independent bookstores around anymore so to find this literally sparked joy! Glad husband and I had a chance to wander through this wonderland of books. There are a lot to dig, for sure. We spent a good hour there, most of it conversing with the owner, Thomas. He is really nice and knows his books for sure! It was super cool getting to know him in such a short period of time. Anyway, I guarantee that you will walk out with a book in hand! I found a couple books...this should keep me busy for a little bit, lol. Husband, of course found a few too, for his library. Every time I mention "let's go the bookstore", husband would always frown because we have so many books! I would respond, "would you rather me shop for another handbag?" LOL. Yea...I didn't think so. Reading is fundamental. Keep on reading and exploring and discovering new stories and adventures in a book near you. Come and support this local bookstore and keep it alive. We need them as much as they need us. Happy reading!

    great experience coming to BookTown USA - the owner is wonderful and knowledgeable on various types…read moreof books. He is patient and helpful when choosing the right book for you. I love coming here and browsing the shelves, there is a large selection and everything is reasonably priced. Always happy to stop in

    An oasis of writing and literature in a suburban desert of parking lots and pizza huts…read more The type of place Huell Howser used to visit. A business run by people who actually care. Not a business that spends time trying to boost profits by 2.6% this quarter. read fucking books, people.

    Entered with an old credit voucher worth $50 from previous book sales. I figured that I would get a…read morefew books from a local bookstore rather than online because I already had the credit here. Firstly, I searched their online inventory website for the desired books. Website reported books in stock but were not on selves. The staff couldn't locate them either and said they would update the inventory. So the inventory site is unreliable. Secondly, upon ringing me up for $20, I produced the voucher thinking it would cover the entire cost. Unfortunately, it is only good for half the price of your purchase. When I expressed my confusion about this policy. The tall crotchety old man raised his voice and loudly repeated: "Good for HALF the purchase!" Sir there is no only else inside the store. It's not loud in there. I was your only customer all afternoon. There was no need to raise your voice at me. How embarrassing to get to the ripe old age of grey and still be throwing tantrums at paying customers no less! I should have left the store without purchasing anything but I was just so stunned! I understand that I failed to thoroughly read the small text at the bottom of the voucher that explains their policy. The old man could have simply referred to the text on the voucher instead of displaying such disrespectful behavior. Take your business elsewhere because your patronage is obviously not valued here.
