Karin is coming in HOT with reads from her personal stash. Some are duplicates but not too many, and there are some FANTASTIC (and okay, also some less than stellar) reads in this pile!

Come in on this beautiful fall day to snag some new reads for your shelf and to help keep your favorite neighborhood bookstore from drowning in books!

09/26/2024

Complete Wheel of Time series! Just waiting for you to come in!

Come see Ms. Gina today and tomorrow until 5 pm!

Looking for something a little different? Love the mischievousness of Pongo setting up his owner with Perditas? This is the book for you! Completely written from Gatzs (a border collie) point of view, this book gives you all the goofy tricks this good boy goes through to get his owners back together. Does it work? Or does Gatz learn a bigger lesson? What lengths will he go to in order to match his parents back up?

Karin loved this book, and it was a quick, humerous read. Ironically, she didn't do a lot of research before reading. She just plucked it off the shelf.

What's waiting for you on our shelf? Come in and find out (and then tell us all about your favorites!).

09/21/2024

Liam is in the shop today (unexpectedly) to sell his stuffies...if anyone is in the market, he's here and quite ready to see everyone!

09/21/2024

Happy Saturday! When Karin arrived at work today, there was a little inspirational pick me up waiting for her in the recycling bin. Maybe you all needed the reminder, too!

We believe in you! And your ability to read all those books in your TBR pile. You might as well come get some more because we ALSO believe in your ability to find some perfect treasures here that need to be in that TBR stack!

Open today until 5 pm and tomorrow from 11 to 4!

09/16/2024

Such exciting news! More shops to visit on a Monday in the neighborhood...I know yall have been asking!

09/15/2024

Watson and Karin walked their butt's to work today (3.6 miles!) Just for the chance to see you! Come in and say hello and take home some book treasures with you!

Open until 4 pm!

09/09/2024

Who out there loves vintage romance? We have a deal for you! Grab bag of vintage harlequin books are out on the floor for you!

Come in today to see what we have been processing! We haven't been able to keep up with all the love and donations you have been showering us with and we appreciate all of you!

09/08/2024

How cute are these wooden bookmarks? Our favorite part (besides the obvious cuteness) is that they are thinner than many wooden bookmarks we have encountered before. Also, they are made by a local community member who started making them for his wife (cue the "awww shucks!" and "why doesn't my husband do that?" feelings).

These are a trial run to see if you guys want them as an option in the store. With all sorts of options available what would YOU want to see on a bookmark?

Also, see the second photo for the bookmark he made for me because of Watson 🥰

09/07/2024

For all our Terry Brooks fans....boy do we have a surprise for you! These are all sold as the sets, but there were quite a few extras that were put out on the shelf! Rumor has it there's also some paperback Wheel of Time books out on the shelf as well.

Come see us for our last day of this month of profit sharing with and load up on all your favorites.

Open until 5!

09/04/2024

We know many of you have been asking, and now is your shot! We have 5 mystery bags up for grabs from the young adult section... just $5 each! Hurry in and grab yours as we continue to clean up our shelves!

Gina is behind the counter today, slinging books until 5!

09/02/2024

Childrens clearance! 25 cents each OR 6 for $1! Come snag a few for yourself or a little free library near you!

09/02/2024

Oops! This book kept Karin up way past her bedtime last night but she's not regretting it. What a beautifully twisty book. She thought she figured it out a few times, but she didn't see some of the surprises coming! Have any of you read the Housemaid series? Thoughts?

Open today until 5! Karin will be in, sans Watson today, working on the tornado stricken land of the children's section. She welcomes ALL distractions 🤣

09/01/2024

Today through September 7th, a portion of your purchase will go to to help them care for animals rescued or surrendered to them. Please come down and support not only your neighborhood bookstore but also a nonprofit with a big mission!

Open today until 4, the rest of the week 10 to 5! We can't wait to see you!

08/28/2024

Karin got book mail. Book mail is a form of therapy, right? The point of therapy is to be happy after all. Yup, your therapist is going to tell you you're supposed to deal with your problems by assessing the issue and solving it, but we think you could also just use the avoidance technique for today. I mean, who has the energy to deal with their problems on Wednesday anyway?

Be like Karin today and buy some new books for an immediate rush of endorphins. We got you boo!

Thank you to Tashan at for the amazing stack of new reads for Karin! Any suggestions on where she should start? Let us know what you are reading this wednesday!

08/11/2024

What a treasure we found between the stacks today 😍 Come down and see Watson and save him from the stacks.

Lots of exciting new stuff coming in which is NOT good for that personal stash of Karin's and you're probably going to make your TBR books jealous with all the cool new books you'll bring home when you come see us!

Open until 4!

08/10/2024

Small stack coming in from Karins stash...(Does anyone else wonder when that stash is going to be depleted? 🤣)

There are some great reads in here to wrap up your summer vacation with! Come see us to see what else is waiting to go home with you!

Open until 5 today and 11 to 4 tomorrow! (Also....Watsons in shop for those puppy cuddles yall have been wanting!)

08/04/2024

Watson would like you all to know he passed his "good behavior" test today and now will be in every day his mom works (Saturday, Sunday and Monday). If you need puppy cuddles, Watson has got you covered....but he hasn't really found his genre yet so don't expect any recommendations 🤣

08/03/2024

Karin brought quite a few goodies to the shop today...including Watson. Come say hello on his first Saturday shift! If we can make it through today without any incidents, he will be a regular every day Karin is here.

Also, please come out and buy some books to support , who will receive 10% of all proceeds through the 7th of this month AND the 1st through the 7th of September!

Come get some books, some cuddles and do.some good in the process...what a perfect day that is!

07/21/2024

One of her new to her books that Karin found at for their anniversary sale! 5 years of book slinging for my bookloving friend, Alex! If you haven't been, we highly encourage a little day trip over to Coeur D'Alene to visit her!

07/04/2024

Fireworks, books, AND helping the animals?! Is there a better way to celebrate? Come hang out with us, buy a few books to increase our animal helping fund, AND get yourself new reads for while you're waiting for the show to start (or staying home with your books)!

Ms. Ellen is in the shop today, so if you haven't met her yet, today is a good day to do so!

07/03/2024

What a perfect reading on the porch day (or in your hammock, by the pool, on the side of a mountain... you get the idea). Karin is home on her porch, watching the neighborhood kiddos ride up and down the sidewalk as she reads.

What's your favorite way to read on days like today?

Remember, through the 7th, 10 percent of your total purchase amount will be donated to , so come get lost in our stacks and help out the animals at the same time!

06/30/2024

We are so excited to announce our very first charity for our profit share! We will be giving Higher Ground Animal Sanctuary 10% of our profits from the first week of July, August and September!

Who is Higher Ground Animal Sanctuary? Cheri and her team provide not only a rescue for homeless animals but also a safe and comfortable space for animals to live out their last days if need be (like animal hospice!). They strive to educate the public on animal rescue and all the ways you can help save animals in less than ideal conditions. However, they don't stop there! Cheri also works with local foster agencies to promote independence and animal care skills by allowing children in care to come and help care for the animals and their environment at the sanctuary. How cool is that?

How can you help? You can volunteer your time or you can come buy books! Come shopping July, August or September on the 1st through the 7th and 10% of your purchase amount will be donated to the nonprofit.

If you would like more information on Higher Ground, please check out their facebook or instagram accounts!

Sorry we will miss you today! Karin is staying in bed and trying to feel better so she can see you all this weekend. Gina will be in tomorrow at 10 am!

Well...Karin went to price this book and found a hollowed out surprise so she decided it's time for a scavenger hunt in store. We have hidden this book somewhere in the store and whoever finds it gets a free gift certificate to the store! Hint:it is NOT in the location showed in the video. Happy hunting! #booktradersspokane #booktraders907 #garlanddistrictspokane #garlandbusinessdistrict #hiddenfreebies #funsies #hiddentrasure #whereami #secretstash #indiebookstore #usedbookstores
