I love this shop. They had a great selection and I loved the small, cozy atmosphere. Was I directly attacked by the "blind date with a book" I got? Yes. Am I gonna take emotional damage when I read these? Also yes. Would I recommend this place to others? 1000% YES GO HERE THEY'RE SUPER NICE AND FRIENDLY AND I LOVE THEMS I can't wait to go pick up the other book I ordered from them.

This is my new favorite bookstore! Stephanie was so incredibly friendly and helpful! The store itself is gorgeously spooky and the inventory is superb. Lots of fun bookish extras like candles, stickers, pins, etc. If you can’t make it into the physical store then make sure to check out their website!

12/10 experience. Friendly service, a good selection and I was able to make a reservation day-of. Both new and used books available, and a tempting selection of candles as well. I even got a free "blind date" wrapped book to take home. B&N could never!

Best little book store around. Stephanie is very helpful with book recommendations or next reads. If she doesn't have it in store you can order your book through her. And meeting her cats, is a nice bonus.

Went there last year and had so much fun! Now it's the shop I regularly order from. Great used book section!

I ordered online and was quick to be notified that one of my used books sold over the weekend, but they had a new copy I could get for a little bit extra. My books were packaged nicely and I love that they reuse publisher boxes. I even got a free ARC of a book I've been seeing all over Instagram!!I hope I get to visit one day, but I'm very happy with my online experience :)

In a word, AMAZING. This place is so fun, so original, that I could shop here all the time. It was super easy to make an appointment to shop. It was an easy place to find. Stephanie has taken a theme and created the niche. The shop is decorated in a Halloween theme and features horror, true crime and thriller books, along with stickers, pins, candles, gifts and a children's section. Being Halloween every day, of course, there was free candy. A friendly cat named Spooky supervises the daily operations. A shipping service is offered. This store is truly a hidden gem. While other, shall we say, "larger area bookstores" may be more famous, I spent more time at Books Around the Corner. This is now the first place I will contact when new books are released. Customer service personafied. Also in the spirit (see what I did there?) of giving back to the community, Stephanie participates in The Little Free Libray project. I highly recommend a visit for the true local flavor of Gresham and Oregon.

Such an amazing little local gem, full of personality and love. I seriously recommend making an appointment and going here, it’s every little fall, Halloween, and spooky lovers dream, plus honestly every introverts dream too! Stephanie is absolutely amazing and hilarious, and makes everyone feel so welcome and safe. I could seriously stay in there all day just going through the amazing lineup of books, from true crime to scifi. I will seriously be coming back! ?

I've ordered online from them. FAST, SECURE shipping. Good discounts available. I'll keep buying from them and recommend you do the same.

We went to this awesome little shop today for the first time. We have been following her journey on social media and were blown away by how perfect it was for us "spooky" book fans!! It's perfectly decorated in a Halloween theme with cool background music. The owner helped us pick out what I'm sure will be some creepy reads. Lots of gift items too which will be handy when I need unique gifts for my creepy friends lol ?

What a great shop! My son and I went today for a "spooky day" and we could spend hours in there. Everything from true crime to sci fi and so much in between, including awesome gift stuff! Thank you Stephanie for the great recommendations
