The Book Lady

Description: The Book Lady of Monroe specializes in used books. Walking into the store is a bit like stepping into Narnia’s Wardrobe or Dr. Who’s Tardis, there is so much more than is apparent from the outside. You can enjoy settling in one of the several cozy sitting corners to visit or read a while. Carol Gordon, The Book Lady, has made sure to fill every nook and cranny of her 3,900 square feet with a fantastic selection.

From our exceptional children’s section and every genre of fiction and nonfiction including Christian, history, biography, art, science, home, gardening, health, crafts, cookbooks and more, The Book Lady of Monroe has it all. So stop in and browse, take a peek around the corner.

Comments: Huge selection and really well organized, which is rare for a used bookstore. It’s so easy to find what you’re looking for here, and the prices are super fair. You can even trade in books if you want. If you’re a bookworm (✋🏽), you could get lost here for hours browsing.

This is everything a community used bookstore should be. I love it. Don’t bring your laptop when you come here, be free. Leave it behind, grab a book, bring a book, read, talk to people, be offline for a while.

There are cute dogs roaming around, Victorian-style chairs tucked into corners, and some comfy couches where you can plop down and read. The whole place feels warm, relaxed, and inviting. The owners will happily chat with you about books, art, puzzles, and anything in between.
