This place seemed a little sketchy from the outside; there was a messy cart of "free books" that…read moreseemed abandoned. Upon entry the place was well lit and buzzing with excitement for the author who was doing a signing. I wasn't paying close attention and didn't realize what it was at first, but there was so much animated conversation that I assumed it was a book club that was really enjoying themselves. It made the recovery from the free book cart mess easy to recover from. The staff was all super friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to search for titles and authors I was looking for and were happy to add more books to my pile (*wink). The only downer was that the shelves had no obvious organization and it was hard to shop on your own. Nothing is labeled consistently and I couldn't tell where one section ended and another began. One section even had a pink sticky note with a hand-written label. The staff also didn't keep a proper inventory and half of books the computer said they had were no where to be found. Bottom line is that this place was welcoming and had good prices. They do not buy books but will offer in-store credit for books you no longer want. Check this place out.

Very excited to have the cutest little bookstore join the offerings at Marietta Square. My girls…read morewere so anxious walking up the stairs to get into The Reading Attic. They immediately split, my little two took a left to the young adult and youth room and my teen took a right for non-fiction. They offer a great selection of all books! We loved the sitting areas with big windows that overlook Glover Park. We purchased two books and the gentleman working had great conversation with my teen and I as he rang up our purchases. We look forward to many return visits!

Nestled in the heart of Marietta Square, The Reading Attic offers a delightful escape for…read morebibliophiles. While parking can be a bit of a challenge during peak hours, the effort is well worth it. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by an inviting space, with separate rooms dedicated to various genres, allowing for easy browsing. There's a cozy couch positioned by a giant bay window which offers not only a comfortable reading nook but also a picturesque view of the square, adding to the overall charm of the bookstore. The selection of books is commendable, catering to a diverse range of tastes and interests. However, it's worth noting that the staff, though friendly, could benefit from more diversity. Nonetheless, their warmth and willingness to assist customers enhance the shopping experience. Also the bathroom was clean! Overall, The Reading Attic exudes a welcoming atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for book lovers.

It is also a little hard to shop here -- it's not always clear what is new and what is used. There were new-looking books in with clearly used books but not everything had a price on it so it was hard to know what I was finding. Otherwise, the sections were clearly labeled and the books were in almost perfect alphabetical order. I can see how this place can establish itself as a local hangout for bibliophiles, attending all the hosted book club meetings. It just isn't a place I will seek out to go shopping at again.

My friend participated in a book signing event. It was very nicely organized. Authors had their…read moretables set up outside and inside the store. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. The amount of books in this store was unbelievable, and the variety was great. They have some bookmarks and trinkets for sale as well. At the back of the store was two little boys reading books. That was a nice sight for a sore eye. Seems like this is a very busy and popular gem in the middle of downtown Acworth. They host events like game nights, so check their website. This store is really worth the visit. I had the pleasure of talking to Stasey, the owner, she was super nice while answering my questions about what books I could sell or trade. This store is worth a visit. Maybe on my next visit, I will be introduced to the cat.

Nice bookstore. I…read morebelieve all (or at least most) of the books are used. The books that I have bought have been in wonderful condition. You can negotiate the price but so far when they've thrown a price at me I was happy to pay what they asked. They sell comic books, games, puzzles, DVDs and more. The shop is off Allatoona Gateway (used to be Glade Road) - behind Taco Bell, Pizza Hut & KFC. Plenty of parking - the shopping center is not usually busy. The owners are friendly, fun and helpful.

The owner is kind and helpful, and the selection is absolutely magnificent for a small bookshop. I saw books in translation, books from many time periods, books in genres from literary fiction to YA fantasy, and books pertaining to almost every identity under the LGBTQ+ umbrella--for the same price or lower than at a chain bookstore. I was especially happy to see some lesser-known books from the past and some indie books I've never seen in another physical store. Plus, there are plenty of book clubs and activity groups that meet here. Give this wonderful place some love!

This was genuinely one of the best book stores I've ever been to! The staff was great and offered…read moreso many recommendations for different queer books and were so kind and helpful.

I was running some errands and drove past this book store. I was curious to see what was inside, so…read moreI turned around and parked and went inside to take a look. This is quite the hidden gem of a bookstore in Atlanta! This place feels very cozy and calming. There are countless books throughout the entire store sorted by genres. They even have a downstairs area filled with additional books as well as periodicals and magazines. The store almost transports you back in time, because there are sooooo many older and vintage copies of books. They even have some signed books for sale too! I saw a Dr. Seuss booked that was signed by the man himself...pretty cool if I do say so myself! The signed copies vary, but definitely take a look when you're there! It would make a super cool gift for someone. Another cool thing, is that they have 2 store cats! You will most likely find them by the front desk with the employees. One was napping when I came and the other was sitting right by the desk. The books all vary in price. It kinda just depends on what you get. I'll definitely be back in the future to take a further look!

Upstairs you will find a spacious children's room with tons of books, graphic novels, board books, and the cutest reading nook with floor cushions! They offer "blind date with a book", puzzles, and fun little book accessories that would make great gifts and stocking stuffers. They accept "tap to pay", they have a restroom on the first floor, and they welcome doggies into the shop! I am so excited to have this bookshop in town and to watch it grow into a community hub. I can't wait to go back!
