History, mystery, and a story worth showing up for! 🤩

Join us at The Story Peddler as we welcome back author Mike Vance for an evening centered around historical fiction, conversation, and the kind of storytelling that keeps you turning the page.

He’ll be signing copies of A Convenient Scapegoat, answering questions, and visiting with readers right here in the heart of Bellville.

Whether you’re already a fan of historical fiction or just love supporting authors, local bookstores, and meaningful community events, this is a night worth adding to your calendar. 📚💜

When you stop by The Story Peddler, what are you usually wandering the isles for? 📚✨

A new book for yourself? A gift for someone else? Stationery you definitely didn’t plan on buying? Maybe a game, hobby, activity, or something fun for the littles?

We love seeing what catches your eye when you walk through the shop, because there’s always more to discover than just the next good read. 📚💜

THIS SATURDAY, we’re welcoming author April Henley for an afternoon built for curious kids, book-loving families, and anyone who believes a good story can open up a whole new world.

Come meet the author behind The Hobgoblin’s Nightlight, hear the heart behind the book, ask a few questions, and leave with a story worth carrying home.

Free, open to the public, and the perfect reason to wander into the bookstore. 📚💜

We support everyone’s right to make their own choices… some choices just hurt a little more than others. 📚🚗🤭

Lauri is totally fine with friends and family shopping at other bookstores.

Totally fine.
Completely unbothered.
Not dramatic at all.

She’ll just be working through those feelings on her way in.

All jokes aside, we love a good bookstore wherever you find one. However, if you’re looking for thoughtful recommendations, hidden gems, gifts, small-town charm, and a shop owner who may or may not take book loyalty very seriously… you know where to find us.

Shop small. Shop local. Shop The Story Peddler. 📚💜

Behind this window, there’s more than a bookstore waiting for you. We still love seeing the surprise on people’s faces when they walk in and realize The Story Peddler is filled with so much more than books.

Yes, you’ll find new and used reads waiting to be discovered, but you’ll also find stationery, gifts, toys, thoughtful little treasures, and plenty of small-town charm tucked into every corner.

Come on in, take your time, and enjoy finding something special while you’re here. 📚💜✨

The best shelves don’t rush you.

They let you wander a little. Pull a book you didn’t come in for. Read the back cover twice. Ask Lauri for a recommendation. Find the one that somehow feels like it was waiting on you.

That’s the beauty of a bookstore like The Story Peddler. It’s not just rows of books, it’s stories stacked with care, corners full of curiosity, and a place where “I’m just going to look” can turn into your next favorite read.

Come take your time, browse the shelves, and let the right story find you, here at The Story Peddler. 📚💜✨

Every enjoyable trip to The Story Peddler starts with organized shelving, and particular placement of each book. Our staff routinely makes sure our every book has a precise book home to help you navigate our isles and find what you’re looking for.

And as always, if you don’t quite see what you’re looking for, please let us know! We’d be more than happy to get it ordered for you. 📚💜

A good book, a cozy corner, and the right cup of tea… that’s a story all on its own. 📚🫖

At The Story Peddler, you’ll find an assortment of literary teas made for slow chapters, rainy afternoons, book club nights, and those “just one more page” kind of moments.

Because around here, the best reads deserve a sip that fits the story. ✨

What’s your favorite thing to sip on while reading? Is it coffee? Wine? Tea? Or something else? Let us know! 📚👇
