The Irreverent Bookworm

Very cool used bookstore! Categories are snarky yet well organized so you don't have to go sifting through shelves and shelves to find what you want. The decor and vibes are top notch as well!

A dream of a local independent bookstore…cozy and inviting. The curation and fun and clever book/section descriptions make it great fun to shop…it’s an experience as much as a store! But if you can’t make it in-person, sure to shop them online…support this Minneapolis treasure!

Great selection of new and used books. My favorite thing was the shelf labels that were cheeky and completely on the nose.) Example: Small humans are confusing for a shelf on parenting books.) I will be adding this to my regular stops when I'm in the TC.

This is a cute little inclusive and welcoming book shop. I attended a book signing here, and they were very thoughtful in their planning and set up of the event so it went smoothly. I don't live in the area, but definitely would visit again if I am up there!

We went in for last minute holiday gifts and found so much. The shop is fantastically cute, the book selection is top notch. I’ll be going back for sure.

Cozy, queer, witchy, indie bookshop with both new & used books -- what's not to love?

The staff here is always kind. The displays are always fun and ever-changing. They've got a surprisingly robust selection. You're always sure to find a gem!

Book lovers, don't miss the Irreverent Bookworm! This hidden gem offers a cozy space filled with a wide range of well-organized books. From classics to new releases, you'll be sure to find your next favorite author or genre.

The owner is awesome, knowledgeable, and always happy to help you find the perfect book. With its cozy atmosphere and wide selection of books, it's definitely worth a visit for all book lovers. Highly recommended!

PS: You can share the joy of reading with your loved ones by purchasing a gift card, which can be used to buy any book in the store.

I LOVE this bookstore! Knowledgeable staff who give great suggestions, enticing atmosphere that invites exploration, and a cute kids area too!

Super cute bookstore! Love the shelf labels. Great mix of used book deals and new books. Beautiful merch including tote bags and stickers. Lovely inclusive shopping experience among books curated and displayed well! Also there’s other cute shops and a great breakfast spot across the street.

Great new neighborhood bookstore. Wonderfully comfortable, friendly, accessible and stimulating. Just the sort of addition to the area we need!

Incredibly kind and knowledgable staff amongst a well-planned collection of stories and information. I only wish I lived closer to visit more often. ❤

This is the absolute best book store. They have great variety, a cozy space, and lots of charm. It's worth spending time reading the shelf labels as they are a guaranteed laugh. Don't feel like going out to shop for book or aren't local? They have an online store and ship.

Nice bookstore. Good selection of books in all categories. Neatly organized and fairly priced. Helpful/friendly staff.

A super cute little book store with large queer and occult sections. Love the cozy atmosphere!

I love this shop. Despite not having an attached lot, parking is always easy to find, and I like that I can bring my dog with me when I visit. My dog really enjoys sniffing everything in the store and meeting new people, and everyone I've encountered in the store has been very respectful of my dog's space and will check with me before approaching her. There are always great selections of books, and I love that there are used book options, too.

This bookstore is my favorite in the area. I love the quirky notes and recommendations left around the shop by the staff. I really felt at home here with other fellow passionate book nerds. Also I super appreciate the variety of used and new books. So many options in such a cute and warm environment.

I LOVE this shop! It has the vibe I am looking for in a bookstore. I especially love the labels on the categories. For instance: Self help books ="Books your therapist recommends". I love to be able to buy both new and used books here, and it is very cool to be able to trade in previous reads.

This is the only place that I shop for books in Minneapolis!! I love how safe of a space it is for so many people. I love that it's second hand. The staff are some of the most kind people I've met in a retail environment. Today I requested to conduct a photoshoot here with a client, and they were incredibly accommodating. I cannot recommend this bookstore enough!!!!! <3 them.

One of my favorite local and queer owned bookstores in Minneapolis! It’s so quaint and very much a neighborhood vibe yet still has some of the newest titles. But this is a mostly used bookshop and I’m often able to find great prices on hidden and sometimes obscure poetry gems that I wouldn’t have found at an all new bookstore. Overall a great neighborhood bookshop and support them when you’re in the area!

Another great indie bookshop in the Twin Cities! The staff are very nice, you can order online to pick up, and they have a great selection in the store. I always stumble upon something new or nostalgic when I come in for my pickup orders.
