Nowhere Bookshop

Nowhere Bookshop | San Antonio, TX (Bookstore)

Hi friends! Missed you all. Life is good, just very busy. I'm hoping this week is quiet since everyone will be busy filling their bellies for Thanksgiving.

A few weeks ago I paid a visit to the Nowhere Bookshop in San Antonio. There's a cute mural on the outside of the building and, of course, I had to treat myself to a new tote and books. They even stamp them with the bookshop's name if you'd like. (Yes, I very much like! Thank you!)

GidgetsTreasures75 That‘s amazing! I love Jenny Lawson!💖 2y

Finally visited Nowhere Bookshop in San Antonio! I‘ve ordered from them online but what a charming, interesting store to poke around in! Owned by author Jenny Lawson, it is filled to the brim with books, puzzles, and bookish fun! #indiebookstore

Jenny Lawson‘s post about her Bookshop‘s Halloween display is fun! Check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUBGm0ppye3/?utm_medium=copy_link

Amiable I saw her post with the picture of the Invisible Woman display! Now I want to know how she made the arms and hands hold the book like that. 3y

Texreader @Amiable Looks like I‘ll have to go investigate! 😉 3y

1. Halloween... I mean, fall! 😂

2. Going for walks in the woods, bonfires, Halloween, crisp weather...

3. Nowhere Bookstore- it's owned by an author I adore, but sadly I live nowhere near Texas.

4. The temperature finally dropping below 90°!

Field trip day with @Soubhiville down to San Antone to visit Jenny Lawson‘s lovely bookshop. I really loved this shop - it‘s small but it‘s got a great selection of books that felt tailored to me (so dangerous!) - and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would def visit again (tho my bank account needs to recover a little bit first) 😂📚💜
Good friends and good books make for a great day! #bookstoretourism

Ruthiella I thought that cat looked familiar! That‘s so cool you were able to meet up in person. (edited) 3y

Hollie I would love to visit there someday! 3y

Texreader @Soubhiville I am so sorry I didn‘t get to join you!! I was right here at home a mile away. Alas… 3y

It wouldn‘t be right for Jenny Lawson to have a bookstore without and taxidermy in it! This was in a quiet corner near the someday-to-be-a-cafe area (planned for post-pandemic times.). I love the portrait her costume is modeled after on the other wall!

Soubhiville @Eyelit I think her name might be Annetolope Boleyn? I can‘t quite remember… 3y

Erinreadsthebooks This is fantastic!! 3y

Eyelit Annetelope Boleyn sounds about right - and just what Lawson would name it 😄 3y

GondorGirl This is definitely one of my bucket list bookshops to visit! 3y

bookishbitch I hope I get to visit her bookshop someday. 3y

Soubhiville @ChaoticMissAdventures I thought it was! It‘s a beautiful space, and the staff had lots of very accurate recommendations based on the things I was picking up to read blurbs. 3y

I am so very excited for this! I‘ve been watching from day one as they found the space for the store, renovated, stocked, and couldn‘t open due to COVID. What rotten timing! I‘ve been a member of their bookclub Fantastic Strangelings, discovering some really cool books and attending virtual author discussions. And they are finally ready to open to the public this coming week! I‘ll be going in early August sometime, cannot wait!

Soubhiville @Bookzombie @Texreader and any other area Littens! Can you recommend any vegetarian friendly restaurants to check out while I‘m there? 4y

rachelm How exciting!!! Can‘t wait to see pictures 4y

LeahBergen Wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻 4y

Texreader @Soubhiville Yes! There‘s a close by vegetarian restaurant in the Quarry. I‘ll get the name from my daughter as she‘s eaten there. All in my neighborhood so if we both have time we can an early meet up. 4y

Bookzombie OMG! Thanks for sharing, Soubhi! I had checked earlier this morning and there wasn‘t any update. I can‘t think of any vegetarian friendly restaurants at the moment, but I will comment again if I do. 🙂 4y

Soubhiville @Bookzombie I got an email. They‘ll be open Monday-Saturday 10-6, starting this coming Monday! 4y

Soubhiville @Texreader thanks! I‘m thinking either the 7th or 14th, waiting to see if friends want to come. But yes I would love to have a small meetup 🙂 4y

Addison_Reads I might have to plan a trip and check this place out soon. 😀 4y

Had a weekend adventure to San Antonio and decided to get curbside pickup at Nowhere Bookshop. Can't wait for that bookstore to be officially open! Hope it is the next time I visit.

Soubhiville Yay! I can‘t wait to go when it‘s open 😊 4y

Texreader Ahh you were just a mile away from my house. Let me know when you plan another trip and we can do a meetup and visit the bookstores up and down Broadway 4y

JenReadsAlot Planning on visiting San Antonio this October! @Texreader let me know any must sees! 4y

Texreader @JenReadsAlot Yay!! Have you been here before? 4y

JenReadsAlot @Texreader I haven't so very excited! 4y

Texreader @JenReadsAlot Oh great! What sorts of things do you like? Lots of history here and fun things and touristy things and a decent amount of used bookstores 😉 4y

JenReadsAlot @Texreader I would say history and could probably convince the boyfriend to a bookstore or two! Lol. I hear the Riverwalk is good to see? 4y

Texreader @JenReadsAlot Yes you must do the river walk (lots of great shops and food) and the missions (of which the Alamo is one). Taking Broadway from downtown there are four bookstores off Broadway in about a five-eight mile stretch: The Twig (at the Pearl), Half Price, Cheevers, and then Nowhere, which is close to my neighborhood. The Pearl area is for the young and hip, although I get there occasionally. It‘s awesome. 4y

JenReadsAlot @Texreader thank you so much!!! 4y

Avanders Ooooooh 😍😍 (I‘m a #fantasticstrangelings member and would love to make it there someday!!) (edited) 4y

Morr_Books @Texreader I'll definitely let you know the next time I'll be there. Hoping to get there in the fall (have family there), when hopefully the bookstore is officially open. I think I'm traveling north for the summer though. It is just too hot right now to wander around. 4y

Morr_Books @JenReadsAlot I go to the Riverwalk everytime I visit San Antonio. Normally we stay on the Riverwalk though it has gotten pretty expensive now. There are lots of great TexMex options for food there. I also finally did the inside of the Alamo, had brunch at Liberty Bar, played games and listened to live music at Alamo Beer Company and visited the Natural Bridge Caverns (30 min north of San Antonio) 4y

Morr_Books @JenReadsAlot October should be a much nicer time to go. It was very hot already and the Riverwalk was packed. 4y

JenReadsAlot Thanks for all those ideas! I live in Wisconsin so scared of that heat! Lol 4y

Soubhiville @Morr_Books did you see Nowhere is officially open next week? I‘m so excited to visit! Also I though Natural Bridge Caverns was really cool. The tour guide we had was a hoot and told some great stories. 😊 4y

Morr_Books @Soubhiville I was very impressed by the Natural Bridge Caverns as well. I'm sooooo excited to hear that Nowhere Bookshop is finally going to be fully open. It looks really amazing inside (from what I could see thru the window - like a peeper). I'm hoping to visit again in the Fall when it is nicer to wander around. 4y

Nowhere Bookshop was supposed to open this year, but has not due to COVID-19. The store is shipping and also filling curbside orders through their website though. I finally placed an order for stickers, postcards, and a t-shirt, along with a book for a gift, and picked it up today.

The store looks beautiful from the outside and I felt a little sad as I left today. I look forward to being able to go in one day.

Bookzombie You can also choose the store when you shop on bookshop.org if you like. (edited) 4y
