Spyridon Scott: Great Art! Friend of mine has some work there!
Alison Fontenot: While in the area to visit my parents, we stumbled on Read To Me after a trip to Marbles and lunch downtown, and so glad we did! We only got to scratch the surface of this wonderful store, but felt so comfortable reading a few books with our littles before picking out some to purchase. Thoughtfully designed store with books for youngest readers on the bottom shelves, and the selection was great - I loved discovering booksfor the kiddos we may not have come across elsewhere. Will definitely be back whenever we visit Raleigh!
Amy Henkenius: Great selection, well organized, and friendly staff!
Eyal Greenberg: Great variety of books, organized by age (each age group in a different level so kids can browse by age and books will be approximately at their height - kind of genius!)Store owner is very nice and friendly!All in all - GREAT experience! Highly recommend!!
Diane Dietz: Always a favorite place to visit when I get to North Carolina. So many great books, and the staff is amazing. Love this store!
Luisa Smith: Lovely store and great staff!
M. C: If you need a Dav Pilkey book, you can probably find it here. Wonderful range of children's books. My kiddo adores this place.
Div: Lovely shop with a wonderful librarian who loves books.. enjoyed our conversation and wishing read with me all the very best..Thank you for all you're doing during this time to help the community!
Sean Caye: Great space, helpful staff, and a good collection of children's books
Terri: Very inviting book store. Diverse book selection representing all voices. Children and parents will find interesting reads here! Owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
s: This place is awesome! When they were contacted about myself and my partner painting murals on the sidewalk across from them, the shop owner Christine went above and beyond to support our project by offering us access to their space for storage of our supplies and other needs. We painted for almost 3 weeks and could not have finished our project without this shops support. They are REALLY here for the community. The owner is extremely kind and generous.On top of this, they have a fantastic array of books for children AND adults (in the back). I bought a book on "they" pronouns for my mom and my dad bought a book on conversations about race. They also have awesome art, and art supplies for beginners! The store is incredibly cute, kid friendly, and well-stocked. Even though I am an adult, it's my new favorite bookstore. The selection is very diverse and the staff is knowledgeable and can inform you about anything they have stocked. They also have a lot of really unique graphic novels.
melissa graham: Fantastic bookstore!
Eboni Williams: My family and I visited Raleigh for the first time. Read With Me was on our downtown bucket list and we stopped in after breakfast. This is a beautiful store front filled with carefully selected books for children of all ages. There’s also a few reading nooks for kids, an art section, and an adult corner. Great job on a much needed space!
Christine Martin: Read With Me sponsored one of my scavenger hunts. Their contribution to the gift baskets was very generous. In addition, they were easy to work with and very responsive. I can tell by how they interacted with me, they have a very caring business. Plus their bookstore is beautiful inside. Check them out!
Erik Solberg: Great little book store with a nice variety of books in a great atmosphere. A must-visit if you’re in the Raleigh area!
Jean Knepley: Charming small shop with a wonderful selection. Very friendly and helpful. I will definitely visit again.

Sunny Gu: Such a sweet & cozy bookstore. We always heard about it from our friends, finally we come to visit. So much love put in this bookstore, very well organized and set up. I really love the tree 🌳 in the kids area, brings a hint of fairytale magic to this place.
The Lady Starr G.: This place is a book lovers dream spot. I have visited twice for author-illustrator events and I enjoyed both of them. If I got there early and hung out in the bathroom a little long it's because I am amused by the pics of all the people!🤩
Ryan Smith: Didn't have what I was looking for, but I'm sure it's a nice place if fiction is your interest.

Public restrooms are clean -always a plus!!
Alex Barker: Loved my first visit. The staff was friendly and the selection was great! Will definitely go again.
Brandie Hopper: Lovely, lovely store. Took my daughter and grand kids here and stayed for over an hour. Such a delightful book store. Not many like this exist anymore. Super duper expensive, to be expected I guess. A fun little place to visit.

So & So Books: what do users think?
Susan Campbell: Shop local for your books! Tailored selection of books that offer a mix of the hot, current reads along with the classics. Staff was welcoming and ready to help with any inquires. Found on the corner of a small shopping center across from Two Roosters.
Crystal The Wolf: Nice and cold inside, great collection including queer and trans books, nice employees
Jerimee Richir: My favorite bookstore in Raleigh
Anna Kurtz: A lovely locally-owned bookstore in downtown Raleigh. It has a bright and airy feel, but cozy and quiet at the same time. Small selection of vinyl and jigsaw puzzles as well. Special ordering an out-of-stock book was easy and it arrived quickly. I like that they have a few parking spots out front, too.
Mike M: I have been twice, and both times, the guy up front was helpful. The shop is very clean, spacious and has a very calming atmosphere. Support your local bookstore!
Anurata Hridi: Nice little book shop. Cordial staff.
Sallie Thompson: This bookstore is a gem. Great selection of books. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. They always have what I'm looking for and suggestions for what to read next.
Lillian: great selection of books by diverse authors of various genres. Really cool local finds, too. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. Kids section available
Hannah Braswell: I absolutely loved my experience at So & So. It is such a quaint, eclectic, and genuine book loving vibe when walking around the store. I really loved the selection and it is organized in such a beautiful way! They sell awesome gifts as well.
John: Very cute bookstore with an overall nice vibe and aesthetic. The guy behind the desk was helpful but I was only looking around really. Not a huge selection of course but what they have is great. Decent size kid's section with some vinyls as well.
Richard O'Brien: Shopped local for the holidays and found several wonderful gifts for our young adult children.
Laura Thrower: Love this book store! Every year my friends and I do a “secret Santa” exchange there, (we browse and buy on the spot from an anonymous questionnaire of likes and dislikes we craft ahead of time) and Charles has always been so accommodating and knowledgeable! The shopping vibe is great, selections are carefully chosen and such a variety! I know it’s easier and sometimes slightly cheaper to buy online, but this retail experience makes getting out and touching, previewing and buying well worth it! Grab and couch, and a read and support local!
Jacob Winters: Cute shop with a good selection of books. The person that runs the place had a good conversation with me
Nacchianti The Wine Fairy: So&so guys were so accommodating to our group for a book reading. The venue was great! The selection was great!
Shaun Bennett: A carefully curated bookstore which encourages discovery of unknown, fantastic materials.
Larry Sherrill: some say the collection is small, but I prefer to say it’s well-curated. give me that over a book superstore any day.
Maria G. Martinez: I just love this store and all their events and classes
Jtwob Jgood: Great job and experience
Michelle: the best bookstore in the city!!
Dan Hooker: If you're looking for a great selection of books this is not the place to go. They effectively have books on one wall of the store. Yes, one wall.... What about all the rows and rows of books in the middle of the store? There are none. After browsing the books for a few minutes I got back in my car and wondered why this place had such great reviews. (I originally looked at the star rating only).Turns out people love this place due to their hosting of book clubs and poetry reading. Seems to be more of your trendy hang out spot to socialize at than to move books. If that's your thing then this is probably the place for you. If your just after a good selection of books I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
Gabriela Martinez: Super cute and gorgeous, incredible selection. Looks empty ITS NOT its just big lmao.

Reader's Corner Inc: what do users think?
Andrew Pappas: Great selection, staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Reasonable prices
Modern Bobber: Love this place! It's a fantastic place to buy affordable used books. They also have vinyl records, comics and graphic novels.
Margaret Griffith: Best store. We'll organized.
A E: I remember going here when I was in middle school. I discovered Calvin and Hobbes in the corner. We would go twice a week before picking up my sister at ballet and i have fond memories of the place.We’re in a strange culture currently. some people want to ban books. I’ve never known anyone to be damned for reading too much, but rather it is for our lack of reading that we narrow our imagination and lessen our intelligence. Even the worst books are easily remedied by a better book thereafter.In the debate of books vs. ban… bet on books, every time.I don’t understand that the mentality of looking around at all the problems in the world and thinking to onself: You know who the real threat to American democracy is?Librarians.In the wee hours of the morning after the bars close you can purchase the 25 cent to the left or the 10 cent to the right. The Readers Corner has good quality surprises in the $.25 section. I got a bird song book and a military history book at 3 AM in the morning. $.50 for the two.
Bill Lowder: Lots and lots and lots of books!
A Carey: You never know what you'll find here! Awesome atmosphere.
Bill Albing: Knowledgeable staff, great selection of books inside, fun collection of cheap books outside. Booklovers welcome. Always helpful and courteous.
Yasmeen Bynum: Parking was easy with the parking lot. They had a good flow of people in and out. Book prices were reasonable. The staff was great! The store is interesting with more then just books. They had discount book outside. Love the place! I would return.
Juan Esteban Hoyos: There are a lot of options and pretty affordable
Freddie Joseph: By far my all-time favorite used book store! This place is a little hidden gem right by NC State. I used to come here as a student and had many wonderful suggestions by the staff on what to read next. Totally JAM PACKED with books of all kinds!
Marsha Adkins: They know their stuff! Good, smart people.
Richard Potter: Incredible store with sections for pretty much any genre you can imagine. I zeroed in on the horror section and found some GREAT stuff that is long out of print. The prices were great. I will definitely be back!
Garrett Camfferman: Good selection
Teal Lepley: A fantastic used bookstore with great prices. It’s got so much character and history. Selling books is easy and you get decent money in return—especially if you choose store credit instead of cash.A note, however: it’s an older building and space is cramped inside. While it has curb ramps and a wheelchair accessible entrance, the inside is definitely not wheelchair accessible. Even when I had a cane, it was difficult to navigate—honestly, it gets cramped in there easily in the weekends for everyone.Definitely visit earlier in the day or during the week, it’s worth it!
Ladystardust04: There is a large selection and it’s a cool place worth visiting. I’ve found some good books BUT I will tell you- for a used bookstore, they really overprice the books. I was shocked at the prices of books that weren’t even in good condition. The aisles are ridiculously small- it can be really hard going through them sometimes even with just 2 people trying to browse the same isle or get around each other. But there is a ton of stuff to browse through and find cool stuff. I kinda get weird and pretentious vibes from the staff. But overall I only get books from used bookstores so I do still support and visit them regardless of what I find to be some downfalls. It’s overall still a cool bookstore.
Laura Gearhart: One of my dons favorite places. Always finds what he us looking for
Kylie Winchester: I love the atmosphere of the store. All of the workers are nice. Tons of options for books
JJ S: Super fun store to browse. Always something unique. The staff are so friendly and kind. It’s a local treasure.
David Robinson: Wonderful selection of books, inside and outside. The outside books are 10cents one side, and 25cents the other. I rarely leave without seeing something interesting and buying it!
Charles Sasser: Amazing niche in Raleigh to find your favorite reading material or music. The outdoor selection of books, magazines, and music/video (music/video during store hours and the other 24/7) can be a source of excitement of finding certain gems during the thrill of the hunt. These items are super bargains and just drop your money in the slot. The money goes to a great cause- NPR.
Duncan “Scotte”: If you want books at great prices come here

Paper Source: what do users think?
Jennifer Abernethy: Any kind of wrapping paper you have ever wanted! So many neat gifts ideas too!!
T.T. K.: Nice place, fun, happy employees.
D Hahn: Super fun store to browse. Variety of unique cards and wrapping paper as well as fun goofy gifts or more serious one, if you like
Laurel Agler: Loved the funny and very cute cards and the paper sheets. There is a lot to explore in this store.
Nicole Louie: If you love stationery like I do, this place is worth a little trip! The decorative papers are absolutely gorgeous, envelopes of every size and color, card stock packs, and fountain pens galore! This store is a dream!
Sharon Jackson: greeting card, gift bag, wrapping paper, and other paper goods and nick nacks.I went to get a gift wrapped after finding them on Google. You do have to buy your wrapping paper and ribbon from them in order to get a gift wrapped. You can't just pay for the wrapping service as I understand it.There is fancy paper, which is sold by the sheet, and regular rolls of wrapping paper to choose from.$8 for wrapping + 1 sheet of wrapping paper + 1 roll of ribbon was about $22. I subsequently bought two small greeting cards for $16.The wrapping on the gift was perfect. The ribbon; however, fell off as soon as I got in the car. Good thing I had to purchase a whole roll... I just redid the ribbon myself. Then I bought a bow (at another store
Hannah Thornton: Veeeery nice and attentive employees with clean store and much more than just cards amd party supplies.
Stephanie Moore: Unfortunately they weren’t open today. There are workers inside, they are just an hour past opening and the doors are locked and the lights off
Stephanie Lee: I love paper goods so I decided to check this place out online. I bought a planner online but kept getting the ones in a poor condition. So I had to keep going to return it. When I went to return my planner in store today, I was treated very rudely by an employee that was working there. The stationeries are expensive and I would like to get my money worth if I’m going to spend my money there.
Angela Pepe: Mon-Sat 10-7, Sun 11-6. I love this store and am lucky to work here. I keep suggesting the schedule change and it keeps being changed back to 9. I love you Google but please trust me, we close at 7 and are tired of people complaining about something we don't have control over. I've submitted changes 3 times now. Anyway, great for gifts, crafts, cards, laughs, stationary, and, of course, paper. Inspiration can be found here.
Anastasia Brown: Quick and easy access to all the paper goods you would like with friendly and helpful staff
Krystle: Came to paper source at 6:15 on today (Saturday) and they were closed. The sign states they close at 7pm. Why are you closing early? 2 workers were inside. This is not a very good look for the company. Very disappointed.
christopher taylor: This place is amazing. They wrapped my presents the last minute on Christmas Eve this saving me the embarrassment of hideous presents. Morgan was WONDERFUL. THANK YOU!!
Mark Alvarez: Wish I came here FIRST before I shopped for wrapping paper. Its a bit pricey but you will definitely achieve the look you're going for if you shop here. *limited bow selection is my only complaint.
Hannah Waldrop: FYI that this company bought huge amounts or product from small businesses directly before filing for bankruptcy so that they could get out of paying for these products. Still selling these items and still refusing to pay for them. Awesome how these huge companies can get away with stealing from hardworking people. Disgusting behavior, immoral and unethical and I will not be returning.
Celia jones: So many choices of cards, wrapping supplies, gifts. Bright, happy store!
Blenda Suarez: Excellent
Susan Larsen: I love all things related to paper! Was able to find a unique journal for my niece's birthday gift.
Beth Vanderkin: Great selection. Friendly staff.
Katherine “Dutchess” Henderson: Nice people
LaRhonda Davis: Cute but overpriced. Great place for last minute thoughtful gifts and niknaks, party decor, etc. However, if you have time, I’d suggest going online to price items out. I found a few items in store that were online at a cheaper rate and some on sale even.
