“I'm sad book stores are going out of style, this one is always a pleasant atmosphere and we found fun games there too. It smells good and is clean and ppl are calm there.”
“Driving through town and I always love to stop in a local bookstore. I found Commonplace on Google and was immediately drawn to their “About” section on their website. What a cool concept for a bookstore! I had to stop by and it was great. Definitely worth a stop even if you’re driving through. Diverse selection of books. It felt very thoughtful and intentional.”
“Been looking for some really good books to read , hate spending much money on them , because I read a whole book in a day. Found the good , action packed kind I like. The paperback books were only 1.49 each !!”
“This is a wonderful college that educates young adults on the importance of having a biblical and Christ like walk with God, while focusing on training them to be pastors, missionaries, youth workers, and Christian educators to name a few. This is an incredible college and has done amazing work training the future ministers of today.”
“The atmosphere is not loud or busy. It was the perfect meeting spot for my son, daughter-in-law and me. We stayed for four hours and they never blinked an eye. The Americano was great. My son had a turkey wrap, which he enjoyed. We actually found a book on Japan, which we had discussed, in the Cafe. Very friendly environment.”
“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Practically all my books I got here, the staff are friendly and super helpful, the books are in great condition considering most of them are hand me downs, the place is clean and they have such a great collection considering they are not a huge place. Prices are amazing which is a plus. I love that they have game selections, a good variety of books, and lighting is perfect. I highly suggest this wonderful place for any bookworm that wants a good experience and an even more excellent book for an amazing price! Very grateful to have a place like this in the area.”
“I went to buy my books for my classes there but found out the books were online. My 4 year old was with me though and he had an awesome time looking at the kids books and I even bought him one for really super cheap. I love that it caters to kids as well.”
“Like any other event that’s planned, one never knows how many people will show up on the day of the event. I had settled on reading to an audience of 20 people due to the cold weather and a possibility of ice and snow. Three days before the event the venue was not ready to host anything. I received a call from my son who said that things were coming together as well as the invites. I thought “ guest, mayhem, bad weather” WOW! I decided not to think of what was happening.I took deep faith in success based on the reputation of the citizens of OKC. These people had been through the same experience which me and my family had in the ‘60’s in the Deep South. Jim Crow. Oklahoman’s are good people, wovrking people and hold no malice in heart.
This was displayed as people of all nationalities and professions,flowed into Nappy Roots as soft jazz played before they listened to the stories of “My Selma” by the author WillieMaeBrown.
The event drew over 70 people of different ages, 8 and up (1) toddler quietly played on the floor.
After the reading several important questions were asked as hands shot up into the air. Books were sold and refreshments offered. The author walked floor to the people, shaking hands, giving hugs and thanking the people.
This beautiful place owned by a wife and husband had brought together one of the most beautiful and warm gathering i have experience since last year.
No one really wanted to go home. Lots of people wanted to ask the author more questions. And the talk went on until “Boston “( MC) approached the microphone and thanked the people for coming.
I am certain that more and more readings and book signing will continue in this wonderful venue. Nappy roots is for everyone.
Thank you all and thank you NAACP, Realtors, Home Builders, Moms, Masons,SHABAZZ restaurant , OU students, musicians etc…
**There is a restroom, warm water, to wash your hands, paintings by local artist, african drums, good parking, places to read inside the store, and last, but not least good conversation with Wendy ,Camille, Dee, and anyone else that may be there. Enjoy yourself. You have the right.”
“Great place and very low prices. Wonderful employees and onwer. Great selection of wines beers and wonderful snacks. They also got great gift bags for friends and family or u can mix and match to make your own gift bag.”
“I went into the store looking for the newest from my favorite author. The sales guy helped me look but nothing. Based on my preferences he recommended the 1st book of a trilogy. Did he ever do great! I'm hooked. Glad I found this store near my gate. :-)”
“I love this store by all means we always shop here and this time was no different. I came in search of a gift and ended up with much more. Yet when I was looking in the section of World history I was shocked to see a shelf labeled Israel. It’s not Israel never have and never will be. It’s Palestine and forever it will always be or you can call it occupied territories but never Israel. The other thing that shocked me was that all the books on that shelf were based on Israeli accounts or in support of Israel and only two books recognizing the truth about Palestine. With such large selection of books one would expect to find more than two books about Palestine. ?? A country that’s been living for more than a month now under attempted genocide and ethnic cleansing.”

“Absolutely love their selection. I will definitely be back. I love how they not only have a ton of Oklahoma authors, but it they also have a lot of Indigenous authors in stock! As an Indigenous person it is always very uplifting to find representation.”
