One of our largest genre selections is Sci-fi and Fantasy! The owner Louis is an avid fan of science fiction and fantasy novels, and so is one of our staff members, Annicka! In our new location, we plan to have another full shelf of fantasy books. Currently, you can find hit series such as Red Rising, A Court of Thorns and Roses, One Dark Window, The Wheel of Time, Throne of Glass, and more in our store today. Is there any fantasy books you think we should have? A lot of the times, customer recommendations do end up on our shelves, so we love customer input. We are open everyday from 11am-7pm, come check us out!
