Bookstores by Location-Florida

Following up on my posts about bookstores in New York and London, we have moved on to where I live, Florida!

  1. Books and Books- located in Miami and Key West
    • One of the best bookstores ever. Independently owned.
  2. Steamy Lit- located in Deerfield Beach
    • Another very cute romance bookstore. Owned by a Latina veteran.
    • Went with other friends who indulged my romance bookstore phase. Saw an indie, local author and bought one of her books.
  3. Big Apple Bookstore- located in Ft. Lauderdale. Known for used books.
    • My goal was to find step backs! If you do not know what a step back is, they are older published romance books that have a simpler cover and then when you open the cover it reveals more scandalous art. I found many!
  4. Bob’s News and Books- located in Ft. Lauderdale
    • You can find anything in there! It looks intimidating on the outside but it was fun and worth it.
      • Just an example of what you can find: used books, any kind of magazine, naughty magazines, weird flavored sodas, lotto tickets, and cigars.
      • Found a Bridgerton step back!
  5. Mama’s Bookstore- located in Dania Beach. Known for a cafe and used and new books.
    • Has little nooks to sit and read in. Found a step back as well!
  6. Old Florida Bookshop- located in Dania Beach. Known for an impressive inventory of rare and used books and art.
    • An impressive array of books to choose from including very old and special editions of books.
  7. Riverview Coffee, Tea, and Books- located in Sebastian.
    • Found so many step backs.
    • Randomly found it when my friends and I were looking for ice cream.
  8. Writer’s Block-located in Winter Garden
    • A super cute independent bookstore with lots of good stickers and a fun hobby section
