This is a really cute little bookstore we found while exploring Kitty Hawk on our recent trip. It's…read morerare to find these days! The kids and I picked out a few things for our beach reading. The store itself is REALLY cramped - very crowded. I kept knocking into shelves and stuff. Kind of wish there were more spaces to sit and browse, relax, read - it's more of a get what you want and get out kind of vibe. Plus, I found it kind of hard to find things I was looking for. Several authors I follow I couldn't find in their sections. Maybe they have a different niche than what I'm typically drawn to - but there was a nice selection of books in the kids section including a decent showing in teen fiction. Staff was super friendly. Oh, and there was no bathroom. Part of why we had to leave is my little one needed to go, so we had to cut our browsing time short.

I spotted the Recycled Reader in Downtown Elizabeth City and was intrigued by the used bookstore…read morethat appeared to be a bank at some point. When I entered I was not expecting the number of books inside. This place is huge. The store was divided by genres and had a good selection of books. I am not sure what the pricing was like as I did not see a price on the books. It seems that most people trade books in and use store credit to get newer books. Besides used books, they had some new books and used puzzles. The Recycled Reader had dedicated parking spots for customers. I enjoyed the bank vault that was made into a colorful reading nook. The store is an asset to the community so check it out if you are in Elizabeth City.

Super cute coffee/bookshop combo. If you're looking for a unique souvenir to bring home, this spot…read morehas something that'll appeal to literally anyone. The coffee here is strong and fairly priced - they have the standard espresso, cappuccino, drip coffee options along with fun summer concoctions for iced coffee lovers. There's a small seating area in the front of the shop where you can enjoy your coffee and read the latest book. Service here is friendly, you may experience a bit of a wait for your coffee depending on how busy it is, but in my opinion it's worth the wait. They have a good mix of classic book titles along with new releases, so if you need something to read while you're sitting on the beach you'll find it here.

I made a day trip from Nags Head to Duck and Corolla, and spotted this bookstore. To my amazement, it had lots of recent and current best sellers as well as historical and classic reads. I was most excited about a book on the Romanovs and Russian (Bolshevik) Revolution, as I had just finished another book on the Romanovs two days before. They had all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novels and the cover of Tender is the Night that I've been searching for. I grabbed a couple Greek mythology books, Arabian Nights, and The Yellow Wallpaper as well. There were a couple other books I wish I'd bought. They also have cute cat/book totes in case you can't carry all the books you buy. I'm admiring my Beach Book haul now. It was a success! Thank you, Beach Books!
