Swoon City is a romance bookstore and creative hub we celebrate what you love! https://swoon.city We also rent out our 16 button makers by the hour or the day.
Monster has local artwork, clothing for men, women, and children, fun accessories and very unique greeting cards... not to mention a huge wall of socks. Great gift ideas at affordable prices, so you can afford to treat yourself as well! We make a point to request plus sizes from our artists and currently have stock from XS to 4XL. Monster proudly features the unique works of over 100 independent artists but Monster is more than just a retail shop. As the host of art and craft classes - we are more of a community meeting place & a spot to work on a project or meet friends to chat and stitch. Come knock out a project in the shop or bring a machine home to button make through the wee-hours of the night.
How long do you think it’ll take our booksellers to find s**t? And who will win Taylor or Kaarin Keil Borel s**ttybooks
Chhhchhanges… change in the season, change in the store. We are making room for more paranormal and sci-fi titles. Come check out the new shelves!

🖤We had such a blast celebrating The Emperor’s Enemy by Jasmine Mas on Sunday night.
Huge thank you to Mira Books!
We made the Mage Mocktail - and served dried cherries as well. We had a super fun tote decorating station, a color your book boyfriend and book trope sheets thanks to Chronicle Books, and we played a bit of book trivia. The raffle was a huge hit as well.
So thrilled to see the book hit the NYT Bestsellers list this week. 🖤
