    My cat approved my wonderful selection I got from Nkechi at a super price!

    My wife and I love visiting local small businesses which are independently owned and operated so that we can help the community support them. Nothing is more satisfying than to spend your hard earned money with a small business owner who appreciates you and your time visiting them and supporting them - I repeat, there i nothing more satisfying. We love books, especially from businesses such as Houston Book Warehouse. The moment we walked in, the very nice owner named Nkechi, greeted us and offered a big 'ol genuine smile. We immediately felt welcomed and we began looking up and down, left and right at the immense selection of books Nkechi had for sale. Her selections were neatly categorized and displayed which made it very easy to go up and down the aisles browsing through the incredible deals on all the books and some were hard to find collectibles that she offered at very fair asking prices. We made our selections and decided to buy more books and items to increase the tab so that we could help support this wonderful bookstore and its warm & kind owner. She realized quickly what we were attempting that she started to get emotional because she appreciated our efforts. I assured her that we wanted these books and in fact it was an honor to support good businesses such as hers and that she deserved our business because we too, being small business owners, we know that every dollar we earn counts. So with that being said, we bought some really great books that will be great to read and learn from. However, the most satisfying part of it was knowing the owner appreciated us spending our hard-earned money with her. We even bought an incredibly old book that was originally printed during the American Revolution era (you can see it in my photo I am adding to her business page where even my two cats appreciated the old book we bought from Nkechi) She has a GREAT bookstore and she 100% should deserve to earn your business. Tell her David & Amy sent you.

    Amazing plethora of used books in a warehouse setting. The owner will purchase your books for cash and sell you her books. Small size paperbacks are three dollars. Large paperbacks are 4 dollars. Hard Cover books are 5 dollars. Some other books are individually priced. There are some newer books priced a little higher. We found a nice selection to take home. We'll be back.

    Wowza! I visited this Black female owned gem for the first time and met the personable and welcoming owner, Nikki. I told her I couldn't believe I'd just heard of her warehouse which celebrated their 2nd year anniversary. She said, " I forgive you." Located in the new spacious business park located on Kieth Harrow across from Wilson Elementary. Once you enter the warehouse, you'll be amazed at the huge selection and variety of books for all ages. Book genre titles are located all along the walls. The budget friendly prices accommodate even the frugal shoppers: $3 small paperbacks, $4 large paperbacks, and $5 hard cover books. Ample free parking in front of bookstore. Small businesses are the backbone of our community. I applaud Nikki. She showcases a young female creative jewelry designer, @itsmeloly, in her warehouse with a display located at the register with the cutest jewelry bookmark collection. Please stop by and support.

    This lovely bookstore is such a hidden gem! I found the owner on a Facebook marketplace ad, and she had several books I wanted! It's an absolutely beautiful little store! It's tucked away in a small warehouse area and so it's a bit hard to just stumble upon it, but so worth the stop! The owner is absolutely lovely and she plays some really nice music! It's nice and quiet in here for you to curl up on her couch and read a book or two and it's well decorated! I brought my sister to come check it out and she also loved it!! She had lots and lots of options yall should come check her out and shop local! She has great books at a great price!

    Greeted the moment we walked in. We got told and shown where the price list is. Unless otherwise marked books are flat priced depending upon type. Nothing I saw was more than $5!!! Wall to wall, floor to almost ceiling books. Employees were super friendly and helpful. As a bookworm i was totally overwhelmed. I'll absolutely have to go back to take more pics.

    Love this bookstore. I enjoy the feeling of walking through and seeing the various titles, authors,…read moreand feeling the various bookcovers bring through the feeling of mood and design. One day I hope to buy a select book there in edition to reading gifts that make a personal connection with others that could, should, or might read. Writing expressions, Kim A. Hatton (Correct on computer)

    I stopped by Kindred Stories to kill a little time, do some reading, and get a little work done and…read moreended up staying longer than I planned. It was pretty busy when I walked in, but it felt good in there. Not chaotic, just full of life. You had couples talking, kids enjoying books, families hanging out, and people like me sitting with a laptop just minding our business. Now let me say this...Kindred can do no wrong in my book. When I realized they were playing the entire What's the 411? album, I had a whole moment. Like oh yes, y'all knew exactly what you were doing with that. The atmosphere just pulls you in. The music, the conversations, the energy. It makes you want to stay a while. What I really appreciated was how diverse and comfortable the space felt. It felt welcoming without trying too hard. I came in just to pass time, but I left feeling recharged. And that says everything. This is not just a bookstore. It is a place you go when you need to sit down, breathe, and get yourself together for a minute. Yeah... I will absolutely be back.
