This is a weekly diary highlighting the highs and lows of opening an independent bookshop. Below is a bio for myself and the shop.

Hey, Wallflowers and Booklovers! I’m Alecia, the proud owner of this indie haven for literary enthusiasts, rebels and dreamers. As a black, female bookshop owner, I’m on a mission to celebrate diversity, amplify voices and create a safe space for readers to explore untold stories.

Dive into a world where BIPOC authors reign supreme, weaving tales of strength, love and resilience. Whether you’re drawn to romance that sets your heart aflutter, fantasy worlds that defy imagination or self-help and finance books that empower your journey, you’re in for a treat.

Here at Wallflower Bookshop, we’re not just about books; we’re about stories that reflect the beauty and complexity of our world. Discover the power of female protagonists who defy stereotypes and lead us on unforgettable journeys.

Why choose Wallflower Bookshop? Because we believe in the magic of independent bookstores—those magical places where dreams, ideas, and revolutions are born. Plus, we proudly support banned books because we know that sometimes, it’s the rebellious tales that change the world.

Join our community of book rebels and let’s embark on a literary adventure together! Follow us for exclusive book recommendations, behind-the-scenes peeks, and a sprinkle of bookish magic. Let’s celebrate the joy of reading and the power of diverse stories.
