Soulbound Books

05/12/2026

This weekend we celebrated Soulbound's first-ever book sales at Experience Waunakee. What are the odds that our inaugural customers were two sisters just like us founders? And one of the books they bought was The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros, which is—you guessed it—about two sisters.

What's special about April 23rd? It's only one of the best holidays of the year... World Book Day! Tell us about a book you haven't been able to put down lately.

For Soulbound co-founder Katie, it's everything by T. Kingfisher—especially her latest gothic horror, Wolf Worm. For Elizabeth, it's Wild Reverence.

It's official: We have the keys to the kingdom! Now that this building is officially ours, we can't wait to cast a spell (or two, or a dozen—whatever it takes) to transform the space into the fantasy and sci-fi bookshop we've always dreamed about. Magic is on the way, Waunakee ✨

Your dream bookstore isn't just a fantasy. It's about to be reality. Follow along for updates on Soulbound Books—an independent shop owned by sisters Katie Rittenhouse and Elizabeth Arpin—opening in Waunakee late this summer.

We can't wait to show you what's coming!
