Summary: You can soak in the glory of the printed page…read more There are book stores...and there are BOOK STORES. The moment I walked inside Melody's I could feel the close hug of thousands of books that just wanted me to take my fingers and slowly caress each page...the feel the softness of their papery treasures...to lick my finger and then slowly turn....the....page........ I like reading. Possibly too much. Melody's has more books than you would expect when you look from the outside. The variety of genres will more than likely have anyone who is serious reader walking out with something that fits their niche. A big plus was that many times they had multiple copies of books from popular authors. It's been frustrating some times for me to go into a used bookstore and only see 1-2 books from a big time author because the owners don't want to "overstock" them. Bottom line: Plan for more time than you would expect for this packed full bookstore of joy.

This cute women-owned shop in Green Hills is the perfect spot to pick out a new book (or three). My…read morehusband and I braved the Hillsboro Pike traffic on a Sunday afternoon and ventured to Parnassus for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was busy but not packed when we arrived, and it looked like the staff was setting up for an event. Books are arranged by genre, with newer titles near the front of the store. I found a few novels I've been eyeing, and the prices are fair. I could have easily spent a few hours browsing ... as easily as I could have spent a small fortune on books. It is worth noting that my husband was disappointed at the graphic novel selection (it was only one small end cap), and sadly he left empty-handed. Even still, this is a great spot to pick out a new novel, and a great chance to support an independent bookseller!

There are seats inside and outside to dive into your read as soon as your purchase. They host author events and the staff is so sweet and helpful! Parking is great as there is a lot right outside. I loved looking around here and chatting about books with the team members.

Love Christian Publishers because they have a little bit of everything, Christian Classics,…read moresupplies, a decent selection of Bibles, and even what many would call Spirit Filled or Charismatic authors. They have a little of everything for everyone! Most of the "Christian Bookstores" in Middle Tennessee have been or are denominationaly driven, but Christian Publishers is not. Which is refreshing. I like to read many different authors and have enjoyed being able to find just about everything I've wanted here, and at a fair price and many times cheaper than Amazon! I highly recommend Christian Publishers! Check them out!!!

Easy to shop. Staff is kind & helpful. I really like their choice of inventory across the board.read more

This Barnes and Noble anchors a shopping complex at the corner of Mallory Lane and Moores Lane, and…read moreis a classic location that has all the good stuff plus a great café that serves Starbucks! I have been here on more than one occasion solely for the café, but I do find myself wandering the store browsing for a good book from time to time. Most of my purchases here have been books for my nephews and a few corporate/career-based books. The store is always well stocked, well kept and clean. Service is beyond friendly, and they are always so helpful! I legit look lost each time I go in, so I ask for directions and they make sure I get to where I am going in the store. Overall, cool to still have Barnes & Noble brick and mortars around, especially this location!
