I just discovered the absolute gem of a bookstore, Epilogue, in Menomonee Falls, and I'm still reeling from the experience! 🍃📚 This tiny treasure is packed with floor-to-ceiling books, meticulously organized and displayed with love. The moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. 🤗
The owner, Michelle, is a true book lover and a people person extraordinaire! 🤩 She greeted me with a warm smile and genuine interest, striking up a conversation that flowed effortlessly from books to travel to our shared experiences as parents of adult children. Meanwhile, she expertly juggled conversations with other patrons, offering helpful recommendations and insightful comments. Closing her laptop in mid sentence did not go unnoticed as this is the highest compliment to a customer that she is fully invested 🤓
What struck me most was Michelle's infectious enthusiasm and dedication to her craft. She truly embodies the spirit of a small business owner who is passionate about what she does. 🌟 As a reader, I felt seen and heard, and I couldn't wait to return and explore more of what Epilogue has to offer.
If you're a bookworm, a fan of small businesses, or just looking for a dose of inspiration, do yourself a favor and stop by Epilogue! 🙏 Support women-owned businesses, indulge in some delightful conversations, and get lost in the pages of a great book. 📖👏 Five stars isn't enough – I'd give it ten stars if I could!...

Read moreThe bookstore that is small but mighty. I frequent events here and get almost all my books from Epilogue now and the way that the family gets to know every single one of their customers is something I cherish so much. If they don’t have a book I want they will always be able to find it for me and have it ready next time I come in. Their events are so community centered with some of my favorites being Silent Book Club, Pages in The Park, and ACOTAR Trivia. Great place for every level of reader and honestly just the most incredible, judgement free bookstore with...
