I went back to my hometown of Woodstock, IL for the holidays and of course I had to stop by the local indie bookstore.
The store is located in Woodstock's historic town square with lots of shops and restaurants around. On the inside the store is half bookstore and half cute cafe/candy store, a perfect stop for gift shopping!
On the bookstore side it's quite small inside but has a lot in the small space. Of course I immediately went to the sci-fi/fantasy section. I was able to find one of the paperbacks that was on my list to buy! It came with this cute pride bookmark since the series is a historicalish LGBTQ+ fantasy one that I want to have on my shelf to read again. Each book focuses on a different couple but they are all recurring characters in the larger plot.
On the cafe/misc side they have coffee, some nibbles, and chocolates for sale. They also have various local themed items such as puzzles of the square, Woodstock themed nick-nacks, and locally made jams and pasta sauces.
My mom said they are doing quite well on TikTok with their bookish content and people drive to Woodstock sometimes just to visit the bookstore they saw on TikTok!
Check out their TikTok and Instagram for more book content!
As for me I will continue coming back here when I am back in my hometown to browse and see if they have any of the books on my list! I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area to check it out!
