Shame they require masks to go inside. I will not be spending my money at businesses where there is obvious discrimination.

Ryne is so responsive and I love supporting this shop even from afar! Excellent customer service and an excellent selection.

The great thing about a good small book store is that it gets you to look at books you wouldn’t otherwise have. The Bookshop has an awesome collection for just that. Just a wonderful place!

This was a wonderful book store to go in and explore! They utilized a small space perfectly and never felt cramped. A great selection to choose from. Picked up three amazing books!

I love to support independent booksellers when I can. I stopped in during my trip to Nashville and I loved the selection of books. There was a great selection of fiction and non fiction. The owner went out of her way to recommend books for me which can be a challenge because I read a lot and I’m picky. I appreciated her time and can’t wait to read her selection.

Words will not adequately describe how much I absolutely love this bookstore! Having worked in a bookstore myself and knowing the joy that it can bring when you introduce someone to an author or a story they may never have known without you, I love the curated books the staff select for you! I had only had the pleasure of visiting the store in person twice before the pandemic began. And the fact that they were able to quickly adapt to the needs of their customers in such an odd climate is a testimate to their love for what they do and the customers they serve! I will be a lifelong customer!

Awesome store. Great service.

This is a great independent book store. I really appreciate that they care so much about their customers.

Such a cute and small bookshop! found by accident, but so glad I went. you can find many odd and local reads here.

Great selection of the latest titles. Really excellent curation! Extra items are pretty cool too. I found myself drawn to all the games and art. It was great to bring the dog inside too!

I LOVE this bookstore! It’s a small shop, but they’ve curated their selection extremely well. I always find a great new book here that I wouldn’t have stumbled onto otherwise! The shop owner and employees are all friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I’ve been here pre-pandemic and also during - with appointment browsing. I recommend this bookstore to all of my friends!

Super cute, curated store with style and a variety of genres, options and gifts

I LOVE the Bookshop. Excellent duration of titles, and they will give you great recommendations of you can’t make up your mind. Love browsing and discovering new books and authors. I am so happy to have such a wonderful neighborhood bookstore.

Cute local bookshop. I got the last of the book I was looking for. Very friendly and helpful. If you want a specific book, I recommend calling or emailing first.

Love popping in this neighborhood bookshop. The owner is always kind and quick to make recommendations. Its thoughtfully curated and I consistently find interesting titles to take home. Proud this independent shop is in our little nook of east nashvville.

My all-time favorite bookshop! Inside youll find a collection of the most beautiful, sentimental, and stimulating books. Right next door is a tasty little coffee shop, and across the street there is a popular Nashville mural.

Great store. Nice selection, clearly it is smartly curated

Excellent book store - cozy, great selection of books and some gifts, helpful and welcoming owner, Saturday morning kids time - so happy its here!

The appointment process was great and we enjoyed our private time in the shop and their great selection

The Bookshop is the most idyllic, neighborly book store I have ever visited. Im a regular there, and Joelle always greets me and asks after my husband and daughter by name if they arent with me.She is always ready with relevant, knowledgeable recommendations. For Christmas when we first moved to the area, she helped my husband choose a book for one of my gifts that became one of my favorite books after I read it.Also, Joelle puts on frequent, FREE events for the literary community. Different kinds of book clubs, story time for kids AND adults (with free wine for the grown-up events), themed readings, and book releases. She always makes me feel welcome when I visit during regular hours or the after-hours events.Also, as a bonus, the Bookshop is adjoined to a coffee shop next door, and they keep the door open between them for easy access!I cant recommend this shop highly enough. Its my happy place!!

I absolutely LOVE this shop. From the amazing lighting, to the selection of books (varied for all!), the patrons (always lovely), and the owner Joelle is a great connoisseur and gives wonderful suggestions. I highly recommend this little spot for all visitors and locals alike.Their bathroom is also beautiful. Theres always a cozy candle available and low-lighting. There should be a sofa in there because its so zen.I appreciate their selection of small gift options, too. They have something for everyone; the student, discerning cook, homeopathy, political pirate, or art lover. :)

Nice shop. Great selections.Would be a whole lot more welcoming if they dropped the dont take photos of our books nonsense. Im a big believer in supporting local bookstores, but this is a terrible way to convey that message.EDIT:Appreciate the thoughtful response. I am of course aware that other indie bookshops use similar signs. I call them out when I see them. If you mean it to be a source of education, wonderful, phrase it that way and contextualize it; dont make it a silly blanket prohibition.

Love this little bookshop! They ordered a specific book for me and I swung by on pub day to pick up- easy peasy. They have a great contactless pick up situation & I felt very safe picking up my book. Cant wait to buy from them again soon!

Stepping into The Book Shop is like stepping back in time to when there wasn’t yet an Amazon, and people who ran bookshops were specialists who can help you select just the right book if you need it. In a time when these experiences are now few and far between, I love that I can still have a personalized experience in a place that is designed for people who love books. I like that by shopping here, I can help protect that experience. It’s cheery and bright, and I dare you not to fall in love with all the books.

This is a Nashville gem. So thankful for a lovely brick and mortar bookstore that offers so many fun opportunities for community involvement. The heart behind the scenes is awesome too; they really care about their work!

It’s a small shop and you might think that would limit the selection, but she’s done a stellar job of curating an awesome and inspiring assortment! It’s one of my favorite bookstores in Nashville. Well... it may be my absolute favorite. My husband and I love stopping by.

I recently moved to the suburbs in Pennsylvania and when I think about everything that I miss about Nashville, The Bookshop comes to mind often. Beautifully curated collection in a bookstore that truly doesn’t exist enough in the world anymore. I’m grateful for social media to keep me connected still!

Fantastic selection of relevant books. Definitely that independent bookstore vibe of every single book in here is beautiful and I would like to read it vs a larger box store type bookstore. Person tending the shop at the time was super nice and made conversation about my purchases.My only suggestion would be: it was pretty quiet in the shop, and for the time I was the only customer I found myself craving a fan or some sort of white noise to kind of diffuse the energy. I will admit that I didnt stay as long as I could have just because it did have a sort of tense feel. Other than that I really enjoyed the shop!

Her Bookshop is the best bookshop in Nashville, hands down. The books are all so beautiful I come out wishing I had bought a half dozen. If Joelle doesnt have it in stock, ask her to order it for you. Plus they have story times on Saturday mornings for kids (and lots of other events).

What a beautiful carefully curated space. You arent going to find everything here, just everything the owner loves and can fit in their space. Seemingly only one of many books in the shop. Great extras like pins and totes. Excellent conversation and no pushiness from the owner. I know they have several book clubs as well.

A cute, locally owned bookshop. Its a small shop, but the selection is great! They have a little bit of everything. If they dont have what you are looking for, they will order it for you! My book came within a week! The women who work there are so kind and helpful. I love coming here on my lunch breaks. I highly reccomend The Bookshop!

What do you do when you want to buy every book in the store? you leave a google review saying just that. best damn book shop i’ve ever been to. heavily curated with selective hands + leaves you with a sense of wonder and curiosity. my go-to spot now.

Friendly, fast service. If they dont have it theyll get it. Support them.

Hey East Nashville - we no longer have to drive to Green Hills to get our indie bookstore fix! This friendly spot has a constantly changing selection of quirky, arty, and more mainstream titles, and their events are thoughtful and unique. And no, you don’t have to be a “her” to go inside - I’ve bought many books here in the past few months and have never felt more manly.

I love this little book book with a variety of books, fiction, non fiction and for different age ranges, along with books by local authors. I went there for independent bookstore day & the staff was super friendly and I can tell they love reading and discovering stories as much as I do. Will definitely come back.

A thoughtfully curated selection of books. The perfect place to go for an interesting read or a gift. I will definitely be returning for Christmas gifts for my mom and sister. Updated to add that I now participate in the book club that the owner runs and am enjoying her selections and the last club had some really interesting people that I enjoyed meeting.

Great collection of books, friendly staff, and Saturday morning story time is great.

I love this store..its quiet and small and always has the best selection and variety of interesting books!

Wonderful selection. Each book is clearly chosen carefully. I wanted to read every book in the store. This could easily be the only bookstore you ever need!

Love the small curated feel of the shop. I can always find something great.

What a gem this bookstore is, the owner is incredibly nice and the selection of books is wonderful!

Adorable shop!! Definitely check Her Book Shop out. Left with 3 wonderful books and I love helping a local small business!

Great little bookstore. Very nice owner.

A cozy independent book store with a range of choices and some cool neighbors too.

They had the book I was looking for, and I was tempted to get a few others as well. Its a cozy space, and theyll order a book for you if they dont have it there. Added to my list of local bookstores to support!!!

Informal meet-up to discuss current reading plus 10% discount; fun and informative! :-)

Im so glad The Bookshop exists! Its a small store but every book is curated carefully to create the best selections in all literary categories (fiction, nonfiction, food, childrens). Storytime is wonderful and everyone working here is someone Id want to be friends with and talk to all day about books. As an East Nashvillian I hope this store continues to exist for many many years!!

Cozy and well stocked. Loved browsing and buying titles I didn’t know about before my visit.

A very small selection of mostly contemporary books. This place gave off a very hoity-toity vibe that I personally didnt enjoy.

Loved it. Felt personal and they have the best books for everyone

Great little local shop, very sweet owner will help you find exactly what you are looking for.

Cute little quiet shop with an excellently curated selection. Highly recommend checking out!

This shop moved from the Shops at Fatherland. Same character with just a bit more space to browse around.

Cute little shop with a very well-curated selection.

Fantastic neighborhood bookstore with a personal touch.

Its a unique bookshop in East Nashville. The owner has really good taste.

There are probably only two or three bookstores that are worth checking regularly in Nashville. Parnasus in Green Hills and the Bookshop (the third might be McKays and fourth might be the Vanderbilt Barnes and Noble).The Bookshop is the smallest, but the floorspace is dense with superb book selections. Compared to Parnasus, the Bookshops books are more stylish and hip. IMO, a younger, woker person seems to be the audience, compared to Parnasus older, more established audience. But, to be clear, its not the Portlandia Feminist Bookstore - its an accessible shop for all readers. Youll certainly find amazing gifts for your literary and not so literary friends of all backgrounds too.Of course, the Bookshop is not Barnes and Nobles or McKay. If you know the specific book youre looking for, you may not find it there unless you call ahead. But if youre looking for inspiration, youll find lots of it. Its a great place to have in your repertoire of Nashville hotspots.

Great selection and well catagorized.

I love this little indie bookstore.

Cute little bookstore! Who knew there was a Golden Girls Mad Libs?!?!

Best independent bookstore in Nashville!

This little bookshop is nothing short of delightful. I love it!!

A well curated selection of books. They also hold Saturday readings for children at 10:00 a.m.

Always fabulous and fun!!

Just what you want from a bookshop in East Nashville.

Great selection of awesome books

Small, but with a great collection.

Yesterday was their last day at the fatherland location. I suggested an edit to Google for their new address, though they wont be opening up their til late July.

Best bookstore in Nashville.

A small but excellent selection.
