    It's a cute place and love the idea...wine and books. I didn't have my glasses on...I inquired if the tags on the wine are describing/matching a book (to drink while reading); I just got a "no" and continued on her laptop. Oh well. That would be cute marketing idea. Anywho, I did buy some knick knacks that caught my eye. Maybe I'll stop by another time and get a better vibe.

    How badly I wish I lived in Ocean City, simply so I could come here and read/sip wine! I stopped in on a trip to Ocean City, and am so glad I did. The person working at the store was super friendly and helped me find a book I was looking for - there was also one that I wanted that wasn't there, and she was going to help me purchase it/send it to the store for me. The ambiance and the vibe are soooo cute (photos attached). Definitely stop in if you are a reader!

    Such a cute little place! My friends and I stopped by for a wine tasting on a Saturday afternoon. I loved the vibe of the Buzzed Word - part wine bar, part bookstore, and part wine shop with comfy couches, string lights everywhere, and mid-century modern decor. It was mostly empty, so we sat down at the bar right away and asked to do a tasting. The owner Mickie gave detailed and accurate descriptions of each natural wine we tried (the tasting included 4). I didn't know much about natural wines and while none of them would be a go-to for me, they were cool to experience. We also ended up ordering some snacks - the Smoked Cheddar, Bread & Olive Oil, Losadas Olives, and Dolmas. Everything was delicious, especially the cheddar. After the tasting, we ended up shopping around for a bit and I purchased some cute stickers and greeting cards. I also ended up coming back later to buy some mead from The Buzz Meadery (local to the area), which was delicious. Would absolutely return!

    I absolutely love this place!! I always make sure to stop in when I visit! The staff are so welcoming and friendly. I've never done the wine tasting, but I plan too! They sell a great selection of popular, indie, and hidden gem books as well as a variety of different wines! The displays are always amazing and make me excited to read on the beach!!

    I was very excited to stop by Bethany Beach Books and I think it's insanely awesome that this…read morebookstore is just a small walk to the beach. I found out about this bookstore from one of my favorite authors who had stopped in and signed a bunch of books! The bookstore is crowded like it's filled to the brim with books so much so that there are piles on the floor. It was pretty organized! There was something pretty niche my fiancé was looking for that they didn't have but otherwise I feel like they had a good selection! They had quite a few workers and there was never a long line! I also liked that they gave out bookmarks with the purchase! There was an author outside signing her book so I ended up picking that up! They did have a lot of cool gifting stuff and I also picked up postcards here as there really wasn't a souvenir style shop that had actual Bethany merch. I'm my favorite part of the store is the little "rotunda" ? Not sure if you can call it that but all in all this place was pretty great!

    Really really rude customer service, and only specifically when I asked for help. They have a great…read moreselection of books especially for kids. What really really turned me off was the amount it cost in addition to the actual product just to use a credit or debit card. Come on! It's 2024! That's part of having a business! And to the best of my knowledge you're the only one with this issue anywhere in Bethany Beach!

Just off main street, you'll walk in to a beautiful room with walls of books surrounding you. But the first thing you'll see is the astounding art scattered around the walls. Truly lovely paintings (my favorites involved dogs) that made you feel like you were in a really elevated store. There were different book selections, though it wasn't too overwhelming that you had analysis paralysis in what to choose. THE STORY. We were chatting with the owner, who mentioned that she had written a book the previous year called Death is My Life. And she was describing her life who were really struck with everything that she had been through and bought ourselves a copy. Her significant other was in the back room doing the accounting and he was just as friendly. It was so lovely seeing these two people, and they really mentioned their appreciation that we stomped by not only to support a local bookstore, but to support a local bookstore in the off-season. We chatted a bit about what books were good, and ended up buying two that we'll read while here and on the plane ride back home. Do yourself a favor. Stroll through main Street, stop in this beautiful little bookstore, and buy a book to keep the spirit of this town going strong.

Sometimes, you also just need to pop in to get away from the crowd outside. I was walking for a while and came upon the storefront. The windows drew me in, plus I was in need of a good, new book to read. I came in and had no idea how large this place really was from the outside. I wandered around inside until I found the sections I wanted to be in. I browsed for a bit, jumping from section to section. I had one book in mind and was out to find it. Unfortunately, the book was not yet released. I had to ask where it was. That's when the staff were super nice and told me the date. I thanked them for the information, and was about to leave. That is until I saw an amazing tote behind the counter that had a print from the my favorite book when I was little. 'The Monster at the End of the Book' I thought the tote was just one sided, having Grover saying 'You turned the page.' Only to come and discover that when you turned it to the other side it has him saying 'You turned ANOTHER page.' Quickly became my new favorite tote to take with me.

The shop is clean and well-organized. It isn't teeming with books, but definitely helped scratch our itch. I particularly enjoyed the section featuring books on local topics and local authors. These were fun to look at, and we were sure to pick up a few that didn't disappoint. Service was friendly. The woman working at the register was kind, friendly, and struck up conversation. Prices were a bit higher than we are used to, but this was to be expected given the touristy location. Overall, would return based on the friendly service and great local titles.

    First off, been here before, before i started writing reviews, and finally got around to writing…read moresince i've written reviews. Anyways, this is located on the 2nd floor of a building in washington square mall. Most cutest little bookstore that has lots of steven king, as i brought The Shining Book last year, and both local authors and other books. i think last year or the year prior there was even a book on wildwood through the years which my mom looked at. always end up buying some type of book here each time i stop. Went here on Sunday August 4th 2024 with my parents as part of our cape may/wildwood vacation. Of Course, while we were at Washington Square Mall. looked around, first checked the young adult section for any percy jackson books (either the trials of apollo, or the some other rick rordan book i didn't have. Didn't have much, but they did have some harry Potter books and puzzles too. then looked over towards the front and found Steven King, decided to buy Christine. So far it's a good book! Cashier was very nice, and was actually reading herself. Which is good to see! It was about $20.00 for a book, but reasonable, i feel. She also said that they stock books on monday, and they sell fast, so that's why the store was almost empty. Cashier was also very pleasant. overall enjoying still reading christine! Hope to be back next year.
