Such a cute independent bookstore! I wish it was closer to home, what a fun themed bookstore and I…read morelove how there were different sections and themed as well. There's an elevator to get upstairs where you'll find most of the books and places to sit and enjoy. We loved the kids nook/area as well. We got some local artwork and a romance book to add to my home library. The staff was super friendly and made some fun recs for me to add to my tbr. Can't wait to come back soon!

It's a bit of a drive for me since I'm in schaumburg but I'm happy to make it. If it were any closer, I'd be spending all of my money there :)

Bookstores like this are disappearing. It seems the only ones around are behemoth chains, if even…read more Robin's Nest is one of the few that are independent. Locally owned and operated by people who actually like books. They have something for many tastes. A small store, meaning the selection is kind of limited. It has a lot of the current best sellers. There's also the niche stuff. Pretty organized and easy to find categories. There's books on a variety of topics. A few are ones that are hard to find. Has a pretty good children's section. Can't find everything one wants but has quite a bit. The prices are okay for being independent and local. Cool place to look around. It has pretty good prices. The hours are kind of limited but they're open most days such as weekends.

Got some music related things from this locally owned store in Batavia. It has everything from…read moreinstruments to posters, and lots more. Kiss The Sky has tons of music too, mostly on vinyl. A cluttered mess but worth it if having the time to look around. The staff is pretty knowledgeable about artists and instruments. Cool place for anyone who likes music stores, and especially the ones filled with assorted crap. It's probably the worst thing about it. Takes so long going through everything and you can lose track of time. Looked through a lot of rolled up posters that were wrapped in plastic. These had no labels saying what they were. Of course the staff didn't even know. This is one example of the lack of organization. Oh well, it's still cool. The prices on most things are okay. Has some pretty cool things of course. It's located at First Street and Water Street downtown. This is a pretty cluttered store but it's fun if you like this kind of stuff.
