Charmed & Bound

L.J.★★★★★3 months ago

They had such cute bookish merch! Walked in, and there was a little $1 machine for book art prints, little free scratch-off cards with the next book for your TBR, and they had beautiful shirts. They are not messing around with the aesthetic! Plus, they took the time to actually speak with you and recommend books. It's small, but every space was filled with things a reader would love. I would return!

In a world where small businesses have a hard time it is so so heartwarming to see this book store open and thrive!! It has such a warm inviting appearance and has so many fun books to browse and buy. I also love they had some holiday collabs with some other businesses. I wish the owners many years of success and can’t wait to see what fun things they have in store!! I’ll be back to add to my forever long tbr 😉

Charmed and Bound is easily one of my favorite places. Stef and Kelsey are the kindest humans who not only make sure your TBR is stocked, but also offer personal recommendations and merchandise. I've probably visited six times since they've been open and I've gotten books for myself and gifts for others. They'll put books aside for you if an order comes in, and the selection is diverse and plentiful. I also love the merchandise and I've bought several t-shirts and candles in the time the store has been as around. I love going to look, but I know I don't end up leaving empty handed. This is a huge win for romance readers, and a must-visit bookstore!

I stopped here their opening weekend and was absolutely blown away by the selection, the kindness of the staff, and how cozy the store is. Kelsey and Stefanie are so welcoming and friendly. There are so many great reads to pick from, whether they’re booktok famous or written by local New Jersey authors. Also worth mentioning are all the cute accessories for sale in store! I’m already planning my next trip as I’m sure I’ll be a regular. Of the all the bookstores I’ve been checking off my list across the state, this is actually my favorite by far.
