Which one are you picking?! by @midnightchaptersbookshop

My first ever weekend trip without my husband or kids… and I think we accidentally created the perfect girls’ weekend. 😂📚

My best friend/business partner and I decided to mix business with pleasure while traveling for a book fair, so we gave ourselves a little extra time, spent the night, and made the trip to Easley, SC to visit the Book Warehouse Outlet.

And honestly… saying the weekend was awesome is an understatement.

I got to mediate my first-ever author panel with NONE OTHER than Lauren Connolly and Lauren Evans! 🥹 I was an absolute nervous wreck going into it, but they made me feel so welcome and comfortable, and I ended up having the BEST time. I’m so incredibly thankful for the opportunity and for both of them making an experience I was so nervous about one that I would happily do again. 🤍

We also finally stopped by TROPE Bookshop, which I had been dying to visit. The store was absolutely amazing, and of course I couldn’t leave empty-handed… so naturally, I bought two books. 😂

Sunday was all about the Book Warehouse Outlet! This place is definitely an unconventional book-shopping experience, but it was SO much fun. They have a huge selection, although if you’re looking for a very specific title, this probably isn’t the place to go. We found some amazing books for ourselves AND our little ones, though!

And yes… we bought enough that there’s definitely a haul coming. 👀📚

Follow along because the book haul is coming soon! by @midnightchaptersbookshop

✨ Something NEW is coming to Midnight Chapters Bookshop. ✨

We’ve been working behind the scenes these past few weeks on a FULL rebrand, and I am SO excited to finally start sharing what we’ve been working on with you. 🥹📚

We’ve changed some things around, removed a few items from our inventory, and added some new ones that I think many of you are going to be VERY excited about. 👀

And this is just the beginning…

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be dropping new products week by week, including:

📖 Kindle cases
🧶 Sweaters
👕 T-shirts
🧢 Hats
📦 Subscription boxes
👀 And maybe… a permanent location where you can shop Midnight Chapters products in person?

Everything will be designed by us. 🤎

One of the biggest things we wanted with this rebrand was for Midnight Chapters to feel more authentic to us. So moving forward, we’ll be designing everything you see at our booth and on our website—from the products themselves to the overall experience.

We’ve put so much thought, time, and love into this next chapter (pun absolutely intended 😂), and I cannot wait to show you everything.

The rebrand starts NOW. ✨

What do you think we’re launching first? 👀📚 by @midnightchaptersbookshop

✨ BIG NEWS, BOOK LOVERS! ✨

Midnight Chapters Bookshop is getting a ✨REBRAND✨ — and we’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been working on behind the scenes!

We’ve been working hard to make this next chapter feel even more cozy, fun, and made for readers.

But we want to know…

What do you think we’re launching? 👀

And make sure you’re following along because October 22nd is the day you’ll get to see it all! by @midnightchaptersbookshop

Today was absolutely incredible. 🤎

The rain didn’t stop @charlottebookpalooza , and it definitely didn’t stop this amazing bookish community from showing up!📚

BookPalooza is a fundraiser supporting @booksonthehousenc , a nonprofit that relies on community support and donations to provide free books to readers of all ages. We absolutely love their mission and are always happy to support and donate whenever we can.

Being part of this event was such a beautiful experience. We sold 170+ books and 50+ bookmarks & Kindle charms, met so many wonderful people, and got to spend the day surrounded by incredible authors, vendors, and fellow book lovers.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, supported our small business, chatted with us, and braved the rain. 🥹🤎

Also a very special thank you to my husband for being my biggest supporter and the best non paid employee. 💙

We had the best time and can’t wait to do it all again! Until next time, BookPalooza! 📖✨ by @midnightchaptersbookshop

August + September 🤎

These past two months have been crazy, as usual, but in the best way. Somehow I read/listened to 19 books and, more importantly, I finally broke out of my audiobook-only reading slump. 😂

And what got me out of it? Vacation. Apparently, all I needed was two weeks in Mallorca, Spain. 🇪🇸

My family and I had the most incredible time, and Mallorca officially became one of my favorite places on earth. There’s just something about mountains, beaches, good food, and being able to slow down for a little while that I didn’t know I needed so badly.

A huge shoutout to my best friend and business partner for keeping Midnight Chapters running while I was away. I truly couldn’t ask for a better partner. 🤎

These past two months were filled with new friends, new memories, lots of books, and so many little moments I’ll be holding onto for a long time.

Saturday was a rough one for this mobile bookstore owner. 🥲

The rain came way earlier than expected, and unfortunately, we had to pack up early. In the process, we lost some inventory to the rain — and honestly, that part hurt.

This is one of the sides of owning a small business that you don’t always see. We work so hard to curate our inventory, find books we love, and invest in bringing them to markets with us. So watching some of those books get ruined broke my heart a little.

I did my best to dry them when I got home… so I guess my personal library got a little bigger. 😂

But in the middle of a stressful situation, we were reminded of how incredible our community can be. A HUGE thank you to everyone at the market who jumped in to help us cover and protect our books from the rain. Your kindness meant more than you know. 🤎

And our tent? She officially gave up. 😂 After a year and a half of good use, the seams finally started leaking through, so needless to say… a new one has already been ordered.

We’re not letting one rainy Saturday keep us down. ☔️

This Saturday, October 10, we’ll be back at @charlottebookpalooza ! With @booksonthehousenc 📚✨

Come say hi, shop with us, and support all of the amazing small businesses and authors who will be there. Every purchase, conversation, share, and little bit of support truly makes a difference.

We’ll see you there! 🤎📖 by @midnightchaptersbookshop

We love what we do but wanted to take some time to explain that our Blind Dates are a little more intentional than just wrapping up a random book.

We take a lot of time selecting the books we carry and most of the time they’re books that we’ve read and loved.

We do take feedback and recommendations from our customers so the books we haven’t read are well reviewed or recommended by customers or book reviewers we trust.

We wrap our Blind Dates by genre, which means you can skip some of the endless browsing and narrow down your options to the kind of story you’re actually in the mood for.

But honestly? It helps us too.

Having our books organized by genre makes it way easier for our ADHD brains to keep track of our inventory and know exactly what’s where. And yes... we know which books you’re getting.

So if you want to play along and try to guess your Blind Date, go for it. Tell us what you think it is and we’ll let you know if you’re right... or if you’re completely off.

Thanks for stopping by our booth, supporting our little bookish business, and letting us keep doing what we love.

Ps. This is a little throwback to last month’s event with @pinkdoorsocial. We had so much fun and loved meeting some new vendors and book lovers ❤️ by @midnightchaptersbookshop
