About Us

"Uncommon Finds for Curious Minds”

Our goal is to bring our community something different. Unique books, experiences, gifts and more.

Meet the Owner: Tina McGivern

I’ve been a lifelong reader and curious seeker, and now I’m sharing my finds with you! I’m also a mom, nurse practitioner and your favorite travel buddy (who may or may not intermittently put you in mild danger in the name of a good adventure), and I’m also a 200 hour certified yoga teacher. I hope my bookstore sparks curiosity in our local community and beyond!

Favorite current book: A Trick of the Shadow by R. Ostermeir (Broodcomb Press)

Favorite book as a kid: Borrowed Black by Ellen Bryan Obed

Best reading memory: Discovering Stephen King on a cabin vacation and not sleeping for a week (Pet Semetary… why?!)

Our Bookstore:

Our bookstore aims to bring uncommon finds to you. While we have a little bit of something for everyone, we specialize in the genres of mystery, horror, legends & lore, sci- fi and other fiction titles. We have books and gifts for everyone, from kids to adults! We are located at 19931 West Gale Avenue in beautifully cozy downtown Galesville. Our hours are variable and by appointment at this time. Please see our “Calendar” tab at the top of this page for our currently Monthly hours and events. We will also have an online inventory, which will be available soon!

We also plan to hold Book Clubs and other events in the coming months, as well as Yoga Nidra classes in our cozy space. Stay tuned for more details!
