🌸 FAQs:
Where are you located?
945 12th St, Suite C, Paso Robles, CA 93446 (downtown, very close to the park, for anyone wanting to visit!)
Do you ship internationally?
We do ship to Canada on occassion, but due to the heavy nature of books, it costs anywhere between $40-100 to ship one of our mystery boxes to anywhere outside of the US. If you really want to support us and are willing to pay that much in addition to the price of the product, just send us an email and we can work with you to ensure you get your books! But we also encourage you to find your own locally owned bookstore and support them! ❤️

I have been following your journey from the beginning and every time a new video gets posted i am amazed by the process you have made❤ i would love to visit the bookshop one day and buy some books (If i ever come to the US... greetings from Switzerland)
Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you! We appreciate you sticking around to see the changes. We’d love to meet you someday- we plan to grow old with this place, so you have plenty of time to plan a trip 😆🥰
Those adorable cat bookends at 8:17. I have those in my bedroom! They're holding up my Folio Society collection. I smile every time I see them. I had to laugh when you mentioned "The dreaded back of the shop..." I think we all have parts of our cupboards/drawers/basements/garages/sheds, etc. that we dread, so this is very relatable. I happen to know from later vlogs that it will all get sorted. 😉
The book arch is everything!!!! if either of you are artsy, or have artsy friends, It’s be cute to paint little scapes on the black books hanging like a banner from it to nod to some of your favorite reads. The store looks so good. you can really start to see your personality coming out in it! It’s come so far so quickly and I can’t wait to see where you take it in the future💖💅
Ladies, you've done a fantastic job reorganising, decluterring and decorating the bookshop, it looks super inviting and cosy! I especially love what you've done with the shelves, making them very home-y with the small bookends and deco items 😍 I see you have those large windows with the black frame in the Young Readers' Corner - are they real windows aka can light come in through them? Because if yes, I was thinking it would look great if you hanged up a few stained glass decorations at the top of the windows (something fun for kids: sunflowers, birds, moon and sun etc.). In my mind, they would introduce a pop of colour in the kids' corner and a nice visual interest against the black/dark window frames. I'm sure there are endless designs to buy or maybe you can find something cute in your local thrift shops? ✨
I had the good fortune to drop by the bookshop about a month ago. It was so open and inviting! What a transformation! I was happy to find some great books, too!
Aww thank you for coming by and supporting us! So glad you found some great books here 💖
I actually like the books being ordered by author last name in bookstores if they are able to. It makes it easier to find a specific book I want.

It's so inspiring to see how beautiful the shop looks after following along since the beginning!!!!! Congrats on doing amazing work
Ooh brand new K.M. Shea and Diana Wynne Jones. Excellent taste. Might I suggest K.M. Shea’s “King Arthur and Her Knights” It fantastic. Also, Brittany Fichter has some wonderful stories. “The Autumn Fairy” Trilogy is great. Oh, and you folks are in California, arent’ you? Jenna Elizabeth Johnson is from out there and her Legend of Oescienne is award winning. Three of those are great Indie authors, so it’s amazing to see their work in stores.
Yes, we are Californians! We’ll look into carrying Jenna Elizabeth Johnson’s books, thank you for the recommendations!
We are renovating a small bookshop here in a book and art village in the south of France and get a lot of good vibes from watching your vlogs❤
Oh wow! That sounds like a dream come true for me. I hope to someday visit your shop! So glad you like our videos, merci beaucoup! ❤️
@@bookshopbesties It would be lovely to have you come visit 🥰 The village is called Montolieu, 800 inhabitants 15 bookshops 😊
Love the coffee and tea corner!!! I'm so happy with all the progress the two of you did 🥰
I want to visit so bad!! Im eyeing all these beautiful books in the video 😅
the place looks much brighter and welcoming! i also like your organization system, surnames by genre is my favorite
Ciao ragazze😁I'm Italian and hearing you speak my language was very nice😊😊Your bookshop is very beautiful, congratulations💖
The shop loos SO nice!! So excited to see how much progress you've made :)
Thank you so much!! 💖🌷
I love your book shop! You two should label the shelves when you are done unboxing books :)
I LOVED the book arch when I visited you guys this past weekend! Your shop is amazing I can't wait to visit again hopefully soon!♥
Love the new artwork at the end of the video! :) I was sad I only saw for a second before it disappeared, but I love Studio Ghibli as well! I’m really enjoying watching your videos!
I’ll make the artwork last longer at the end of each video from now on 🙂 glad you like it, a friend of mine drew it as my birthday present!
@@bookshopbesties I definitely think girls with witch hats reading books should be a motif for your merch. Like, imagine holding a half-eaten apple up while reading and the worm inside the apple peeking out to read over her shoulder.
Oh it looks so good!! I absolutely love being able to follow along with you two! So much love from Mississippi!🎶❤️🎶
Congrats! It looks amazing w
The shop is looking wonderful! Amazing work pulling all this together! 👏 👏👏
Great job!
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
I love how it’s organized! ❤Got my most fav book from your shop 🥹 Angel Cats by Allan and Linda Anderson 🐈
I love each and every one of your videos ❤ it’s very calming watching the both of you in the book shop. And yes, like many people commented before, it’s also like escaping to an alternative life in which I would work in a book shop. I’m satisfied with the job that I have but I wouldn’t mind this reality 😂
One thing I wanted to mention: is there an option for you to use plastic-free packaging for the packages? I know that there are different kinds of wrapping papers and fillings out there. I was just wondering ❤
All the best from Germany!
You mentioned this in another video as well, but what exactly are Christian romance books? I am not from the US and here (even though it's a basically Christian country) I've never heard of this genre and I'm really confused about them?
They’re romance books that don’t get too saucy- so they’re more like “kiss only” or “clean romance” are other terms for them, and they tend to include Christian values with mention of God in some way. Many of these books take place in Amish country. It’s an interesting concept for sure and not our best selling books, but we have enough people come in specifically for them that we like to keep a good selection!
I feel like I'm living vicariously through you guys - this would be my second life if I could have a do-over! I've always wondered - where do used bookstores get their books from? Do folks donate? Do you buy them from people? Get in them in bulk from somewhere?
That’s so sweet! We’re happy to share our experience with you!
Regarding how we get our books, as of right now, we are solely donation-based! People bring in new inventory every day, it’s truly incredible. We may eventually shop around at local garage/yard sales, thrift stores, etc but we haven’t needed to yet! Our community is so generous ❤️
That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing!@@bookshopbesties
It looks amazing! I'm so excited for the development of that last corner and all the organizing you're doing in the back
Mandie Mysteries, my beloved! I was obsessed with those as a kid
Looks so cozy
Thank you! It’s a cold, overcast day today so it’s especially cozy now!
So sad that this shop isn't close to me. I wanna browse it.
Hi 🙂
I love the lay-out you have gone with. So many wonderful books to choose from. Do you know how many books you have in your shop?
Hi there! Thank you so much. While we don’t have an exact number, our estimation is anywhere between 8-10,000 books!
Beautiful. How do you decide what new books to carry? If you want to share. Thank you.
Love following your journey with the bookstore,take care and stay safe ❤❤
I’m so interested to know how the books would be ordered other than by genre and then alphabetically by last name? As a book seller in Australia, I’ve only even seen it done that way. Great job on everything, the shop looks lovely!
That’s a great question that we don’t have the answer to. We get some feedback from people both online and in person about how we should do things differently just because it doesn’t make sense to them personally. It’s really just taught us that you can’t make everybody happy but as long as a majority of our customers are happy, we’re good with that! Thank you so much for your support, sending love from our bookstore to yours! ❤️
I am italian and that italian is really good
Aww thank you so much, that made our day!!
The store is looking awesome!
unbroken is the best book ever!
It looks so lovely and welcoming! I would love to spend time there. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much! ❤️
You can also donate to children hospitals sometimes!
Oh, yes!! We don’t have a children’s hospital in our county but we do have a connection with someone who donates to a variety of children’s hospitals as her job. We were just messaging her about sending her a big box of books for the kiddos ❤️
looks great! I would love to be a customer there :)
Are you going to finish painting the ducting in the ceiling from yellow to copper? I see you still just have the test patch there.
Yes, we are! That project has just been placed on the back-burner but we have not forgotten about it! We’ll also be painting the rest of the walls green.
Hi, great video, I like watching you gals and seeing the store. Maybe later when you do this again show before shots? Last episode you showed unboxing some fantastic books you received, where did you place them?
I don’t want to be critical or complain but where were the doggies? I’m sorry but you can’t show the shop without showing the shop dogs :)
I look forward to next video
Fantastic update! I love it all! You pair are smashing goals!
Looks awesome!
Está tudo tao lindooo❤❤❤
Um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷
Idk if you want a tip on your italian (as an italian)but imma give it to you anyways, try not pronoumcing the "r" that much, just a lil bit softer. You're doing amazing tho!!
Very much appreciate the advice from a native speaker! Grazie! I’m used to speaking American English (obviously) and Latin American Spanish so I do *really* pronounce my r’s 🤣
@@bookshopbesties hahahaha I realized!! Your italian is so good tho!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
A note- it looks like your discord invite link is invalid
Thank you for letting us know! Despite setting the invite link to never expire, it still does. But we’ve updated it now!
Are you two sisters? You look very alike!
Well thank god. No bumper stickers to fire up the far left and far right. A soothing video withDean Koontz and John Grisham. The day drinkers can’t argue with that.
This is so cute I love all the organized sections I'll have to drop by soon
