My little sister and I absolutely adore this little bookshop. She loves getting a new book and seeing Noah every time we come in. Such a great cause and really great merchandise too! I’ve gotten lots of gifts for friends here, and many great reads too of course. 100% recommend!

Amazing business, they are always polite and very helpful. Even if you don't like reading, they have other things there as well. Plus, most of the time, they have kittens up for adoption

What a cute small town diner.I absolutely loved my breakfast. The coffee cups were kept filled, and the service was friendly and attentive without hovering. May this your stop for a great breakfast.

Great selection of books. If they don't have a book you want, they'll try to get it. Prices are reasonable.

I've been shopping at TAiLS since I first visited the area in late 2020. The memorable cat Noah (Who knows-a good book) is an attraction. On occasion he has actually led me to a good book that I've enjoyed reading. The effort the store puts in to help rescued, sheltered, and fostered cats and kittens find a new home is amazing. I love when businesses go the extra mile to make a difference in their community -- this is definitely one of them.

There are cats and there are books and everything is very reasonably priced I don't know what more you could want

Greatest book store around! Really good prices, and the cats were so friendly. Had new releases, classics, and everything in between. I’m definitely coming back soon.

Granny Bee drives here an hour from home looking for books to read on her Facebook page or YouTube channel “Granny Bee Reading Stories”. TAiLS of a Bookworm always has a good selection of books reminding children ways to be better humans. The proceeds going for animal welfare is an even better reason to shop here! The staff is always friendly & helpful!

First time we have been in to shop in a very long time. It's so nice and welcoming in there!!! The man working was very helpful in assisting my daughter with picking out a book.

We visited today and really enjoyed it. A great selection of books at good prices. The kids really enjoyed holding the kittens. They are doing great work to support TAPS.

This place is nicely organized and has a lot. The clerk was helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely be popping in here in the future. Not sure why ppl don't patronize used book stores more often as they have so much to offer at a fraction of the price.

I love this bookstore, the staff are always amazing and being able to look for my newest book while petting the in-store cat is always amazing. 10/10, would recommend to anyone who loves cats and books.

Love Bookworm Books. I won't buy books elsewhere because owner keeps log of what I've read so I don't buy same book twice. She also flags her computer so when a Title comes in that I want to read she holds it for me.
