It was such a wonderful memory. The owner Gayle is extremely kind and helpful, she truly wants you to leave the store happier than when you came in. The store is large and accommodates a large variety of genres. There is something for everyone in this store. The prices are extremely affordable and they have a trade credit program for used books. In addition to all the amazing reads the Book Store also hosts free classic movies twice a month. Their theatre troupe the vagabond players also performs at the bookstore small stage several times a year with humorous and enjoyable plays.

I came it looking for books for myself and ended up picking up a few books for the kiddos too. They loved the selection. There are also educational games, puzzles and other material. Not to mention the vinyl selection is chef's kiss. Service is always a pleasure. Now some books can be a bit pricey but definitely worth the splurge. I usually frequent the Mesquite location, but sadly they closed down. 10/10

It was my first time to enter this wonderful space devoted to the enjoyment of perusing and reading…read morebooks. In what I consider a very interesting addition, Paper Leaves also carries a variety of plants. Waxahachie is already well known for its over 200 historic structures in five historic districts. Paper Leaves lies on Water Street to the north of West End Historic District, the largest district with homes built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I love that Paper Leaves is SO Waxahachie in that respect! You step back in time here in high ceilinged book filled rooms with comfy, vintage and antique furniture, and just make yourself at home in such a special place. We entered from the back. The driveway and backyard look newly renovated and there are several parking spaces. The handicapped access to the business is in the rear and is smooth with a concrete ramp. The recent rain and wind has buffeted their lovely backyard, but there are two big areas for outdoor reading. They are shady with lots of chairs and look big enough for book clubs to meet. At the back, there is a small sunroom with lovely stained glass and three high tables and chairs set up for conversation or reading. The windows are enormous in this home with sun streaming in on velvet and brocade and velveteen sofas and chairs. Every room is a treat. A short stack of $1 Books and a (previous) dining room of used books were followed by what had been a parlor with a lovely fireplace and even more books. The foyer has the register and a very vertical staircase. The remaining downstairs room is an inspired Kids Books section with mysterious footprints on the floor and a bathroom! Paper Leaves has been altered to accommodate at least two (that I saw) spacious modern bathrooms with baby changing areas. The terrific front porch, the kind you always wanted, has a big ole swing and seating. There's used books and small exotic plants for sale out front. I saw a used copy of The Goldfinch for $7. The stairs are not steep. I mean, I'm 71 and had a hip replacement not all that long ago and I could make it up and down. Upstairs there's a very sunny reading room and all kinds of interesting paraphernalia on the floor and the walls of the landing. Then there's this astonishing windowed in sunroom. It's a lovely room with plants that have prices but no names. Just "Foliage." Yes, they can look them up. But, I knew a number of them anyway. Bonsai, many cacti and succulents, philodendron. Just gorgeous. All sizes. Hanging Baskets. Climbers. Teeny tiny little bitty plants in pots. Wonderful. I loved Paper Leaves. A very soothing, calming, good vibes place. But books and plants are my jam, so ... I can hardly wait to come back.

I have been seeing a lot of my peeps on Instagram checking this place out and it looked like an…read moreamazing getaway spot. I had an hour to spare one afternoon so I stopped by and took a gander. Several different parking locations. My big country truck fit in the small parking lot behind Paperleaves. Upon walking towards the entrance you can't miss the most amazing front porch with a comfy porch swing with big comfy cushions and a couple couches and chairs. I got there just as they opened and was greeted upon entering. I checked out all three rooms of books, one of them children's books. There are several places to sit down and read throughout the house. Go support local and get lost in the beauty that is this place.
