More Than Just A Bookstore
Tacoma is a city that celebrates arts and culture, but there's a void. There isn't a place that truly caters to the passionate community of fantasy romance readers. Right now, fans have to rely on generic bookstores or online retailers, missing out on the joy of discovering new titles in a welcoming space, surrounded by like-minded people. We want to change that.
Our solution: A bookstore that is dedicated to real activations such as signings, book-to-move nights and more.
Uplifting Our Community
Our brick-and-mortar Shelf Indulgence will proudly feature an entire wall (and more if space permits)dedicated to uplifting BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and women authors. By supporting our expansion you are directly help us amplify diverse voices.
Sticking to Our Roots
Staying true to our online roots, our Tacoma brick-and-mortar Shelf Indulgence will continue to offer our beloved made-to-order rebinds and officially licensed fantasy romance merch! Plus, we're excited to partner with fellow small businesses to showcase their unique bookish gifts.
Tacoma's First Themed Shop
Echoing C.S. Lewis's wisdom, "Someday you will be old enough to read fairy tales again," Shelf Indulgence is bringing enchantment to life as Tacoma's first themed bookstore. Discover a curated selection of bestselling fantasy, romantasy, and romance books, alongside officially licensed merchandise inspired by these beloved stories.
