Great shopping! LIC literary bookstore/gift shop

Today, I was dead on my feet after helping a client secure an apartment in LIC—then I turned a corner and spotted this charming bookstore! Such a sweet surprise—all my exhaustion melted away, and I had to pop in ✨ Inside, it’s way more than just books—it’s a little haven of nice things. Shelves are lined with books in different languages: English novels, Chinese essays, even some Japanese manga 📚. Next to them, there’s adorable stuff: greeting cards with hand-drawn flowers, wood-scented candles in frosted jars (so calming! 🕯️), squishy rabbit plushies 🐰, and pretty stationery—marbled fountain pens, vintage notebooks, even star-shaped paperclips. They’ve got cute decor too: ceramic plates painted with cats 🐱, soft Morandi-colored tapestries , and linen clothes with tiny daisy embroidery 🌸. There’s even canvas bags that say “Read More”—so cute. It’s two floors—upstairs for most stuff, downstairs has a kids’ corner with bright picture books (some about hedgehog adventures! 🦔) and wooden toys 🧸. The vibe’s so cozy: string lights 🌟, dried flowers in terracotta pots 🌾, and sunlight streaming through the windows. Total gift goldmine 🎁—nearby folks, definitely swing by. Even just browsing feels nice!
