I had trouble looking for some of the books I wanted since some of the categories were all over the place. I was also confused on if any books were used or new, since some of them looked like they had been opened up and read a few times, or had some very minor damages. The person working at the station where I could sell used books was polite and quick with her job.

Just the cute name of the bookstore would definitely make me wanna go inside to take a look around…read more Name of bookstore really reminds me of the nursery rhyme starting with the lines of "Sugar and spice...And everything nice" in a way. Size of the place is rather decently small and narrowly-spaced. So, make sure to be extra careful not to knock anything over with your backpack or handbag. When I entered the bookstore, my eyes darted across the room and immediately landed on the cover of a huge and friendly, gray and fuzzy fellow. It was none other than the familiar Totoro himself! Had to flip through the pages of the heavy, hardcover book right away just because how much I love Ghibli Studio and Totoro in general! The selection of books is actually pretty reasonable with different genres like historical fiction, fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, travel, history, memoir, children's books, and so on. Besides books of all types, they also sell canvas totes, stickers, magnets, posters, sketchbooks, stationary, notebooks and postcards just to name a few as examples. Price range can vary but usually more on the expensive side depending on what you happen to buy from the bookstore. Even if you don't plan on making a purchase, I think it's still a great indoor activity (whether just by yourself or with family) to stay away from the cold for the time being. Lastly, I just love their cozy vibes so much and want to stay back for quite some time.

This is a great little community bookstore that is worth checking out. It's not a huge store with…read moreendless sections, but that's part of the charm. They have a unique and interesting selection, and you never know what you might come across while browsing. I really like supporting small independent bookstores like this. It adds a lot of character to a neighborhood and is a nice change from the typical big bookstores. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

Just because you're in a collective doesn't mean you get to be rude as hell.

Recently, I was there on a weekday afternoon - literally only one of two people in the store, the other being my friend - and we were looking at books, casually browsing, and chatting to one another at a quiet volume. The male staff members essentially stood up and asked us to stop talking or leave... so we left. I won't be back.

And it's the…read moreSeattle in me that is always in search of finding bookstores to nestle into a corner and find a book preferably a store with nooks, crannies and a cat..coffee might be a bonus. I was very pleased to find "Better Read Than Dead". The table was covered in tons of cult classic favorites like, Bukowski, Vonnegut, Harper Lee, Hesse, Gunter Grass and political anarchist books. It's hard to not try to take all these books home. Today was a total score when I found C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Proposes a Toast. The cover was a stunning vintage piece of a satanic, horned bat head on top of a screw style bottle opener. I am excited to get my read on this winter. And the book only cost me 3 buckaroos. Not too shabby. I also enjoyed the smell of old books as I walked into the tiny little bookstore to pay. I told the guy working there that it reminded me of Portland. His response was "Oregon or Maine". I quickly answered with a firm "Oregon of course". He sighed when he realized it was not the Portland he grew up in since, he did not see the similarities in Portland, Maine. I will definitely be returning to the shop to find more unique treasures for my bookshelves. This place may not have cats or coffee but the books are worth the trek.

If you can't find what you are looking for, they will happily order the books for you for pick up and even delivery. They have an amazing author events which, I really enjoy.

I always love visiting independent bookstores, and Community Bookstore was such a nice experience…read more The staff was incredibly friendly and sweet. We even ended up chatting about the latest season of the Bear, which made the visit feel really welcoming and personal. I actually walked out with a physical book, which is rare for me since I typically use the app Libby to read. I ended up picking up Yesteryear and the waitlist for this book on Libby is MONTHS. So I was happy to finally have a copy in my hands instead of waiting. The store has a cozy neighborhood feel, and it looks like they also have a little outdoor space, though I didn't get a chance to check it out. Definitely a great spot to support an independent bookstore and browse for your next read.
