Joy and Matt's Books

The cutest little bookstore in the cutest little neighborhood. This is honestly one of the best bookstores I’ve ever visited in terms of unique selection (I found several books I had never seen before but really wanted to buy), plus a lovely atmosphere. The shopkeeper was incredibly kind and helpful, and they had an adorable puppy. I wish I could give this place more stars! Perfect for our rainy day in Cincy!

Such a good book store! They have a great variety, especially for being so small, and the lady there (she may be the owner, I'm not sure) was super friendly. I picked up this random book, so beautiful, but they also had the popular books I see YouTubers reading so the mix is good between unique and popular. Definitely recommend

This is a small, family-owned and operated shop, but they have one of the best science fiction and fantasy collections I’ve ever seen. It’s such a joy to walk in and realize that my favorite fantasy author has come out with a new book, and that they have it in the shop. The owners place recommendation cards amongst the books with cute summaries and quotes. And they can order anything they don’t have, and they’ll let you know when it arrives and you can pick it up.

What a delight to visit a local store and talk about books with someone so well-read. I had a great literary conversation with Joy while browsing their lovely store and found something so wonderful I just HAD to buy it!

Bookstores like this one, owned and populated by readers, are the absolute best!!! The warmth of sharing impressions of books, learning new authors, and meeting cute puppies makes all the difference in the world to dedicated readers like me.

I'll definitely be back, you can count on that.
Thanks

Stopped in during Bookstore Crawl. Owners were very friendly and welcomed us into their cute bookstore. Great selection and set up.

Awesome little independent bookstore in OTR. Immediately found two books and had to stop myself from buying more. Wife also got two kids books as gifts for friends.

This is a lovely bookstore. Bright and cheery with knowledgeable well-read owners. It was never at the Freedom Center as posted in another review - that reviewer being totally confused.

Great little bookshop. The sci-fi section had a great selection of authors and I grabbed a used copy of Cryptonomicon for a steal. The owner was very friendly and was curious about what else they could add to the selection. Thanks Joy!

Super cute store and Joy was the sweetest!! They have a good selection of books to pick from and at good prices. Definitely will go next time I need something new to read.

Joy is a wonderful bookseller and it's a great small bookshop. On my list anytime I'm in Cincinnati!

Nice space with a great, curated collection!

I love coming here, a lot of the books have small topic summaries that’s helpful for finding new reads

This bookstore was so cute & quaint and was just the right size to find some books we wanted to read. Even found a used book for a steal and Joy was so kind and helpful.

We loved the dog! And the selection was good.

Amazing local owned book store! Cutest place filled with awesome titles

Really cute place, decent prices, and friendly staff!!

Darling bookstore with a great selection. Give them your money!

Lovely store and selection with terrific staff. I look forward to shopping with you again. :)

Wide selection of books with an astonishing good set of children’s books as as well.

Interesting collection of new and used books. Bright and airy atmosphere.
