To quote Dani Rojas (from the hit show Ted Lasso), "Fútbol is Life!" ⚽

At least, it is during the World Cup. Whether you call it soccer or fútbol, stop in to the bookstore and get the winning goal of a great read!

We currently have a dedicated display, right next to the registers; you can also find a list of great books (and more) on our website!

*whispers* Hey. We have silent book club next week. 🤫📖

Every second Thursday of each month from 5 to 6pm, we're staying open a bit later, putting on some soft music, and inviting you to escape the noise and come read with us in the cozy, contemplative atmosphere of the bookstore. (It is the perfect way to be both in introvert and an extrovert at the same time!)

Our comfy seating is limited, so we encourage you to bring your own cushions, beanbags, blankets, etcetera. With that in mind, grab a book, come by Next Chapter, and let's get reading!
