Absolutely obsessed with this new bookstore. It's cute, it's thoughtful, it's intentional, and the owner is overflowing with love for this dream. It's going to be the place to watch out for. If you love books and want to support a change in the way they are sold and promoted, make this indie shop a priority!

This newly opened bookshop near downtown Gilbert is a must-visit! The owner is amazing, with a true passion for books and the community. Her curated selection is fantastic, offering something for everyone, from national bestsellers to local author gems. I've always loved seeing her at local markets, and it's so exciting to see her in this new space. If you're in the area, definitely stop by to support this wonderful local business!

Love, love, love! I first found them when they were located in Chandler and the new place in Gilbert is amazing. Great activities. Recommendations. Amazing owner. Such a blessing to have a small independent bookstore like this in our community.

I’ve been here several times to buy books and once for an event. It’s always a great experience. The owner is beyond sweet. Looks of the place are great. Even though its teeny, I always find more books than I can afford.

I can't recommend this store enough. This perfectly-sized, local, independent bookshop is absolutely splendid. "Literally" has book clubs galore to fit just about any fancy, age range, or schedule. The shop has authors reading their works, literary or seasonally themed craft projects, adorable gifts available for purchase, and even yoga for both children and adults. Moreover, if the bookshop doesn't have what you need immediately at hand - which I've found to be rare, even with independent authors - you may order it (either through their website or in person) with virtually zero hassle. Additionally, every order I've placed to be delivered to my home always arrives with a cheery little handwritten note. I have yet to see a mega-retailer like Amazon, Walmart or Barnes & Noble be so thoughtful. If you are in the East Valley of Phoenix in search of reading material, or gifts for the bookworm in your life: stop in, peruse the shelves, and enjoy this Gilbert jem. Your time in "Literally: a Bookshop" will be well spent.

I stopped by to browse and what a cute find! They have a nice child section, teen/young adult section and adult section. Although the store is small it's very cute and cozy and they have a good variety of books. Plus you can order pretty much anything that you don't see in store online through their website. I'm not sure if it was the owner but whoever was working that day was very nice. And they give discounts to teachers! Next time you need a book to read or are in the area and want to browse, check this place out!

This bookstore is my kids favorite place, as well as my favorite place! Laura (the owner) is always SO helpful & knows exactly what my kids would like to read & makes such great recommendations. She orders in books for us that she doesn’t already have in stock, which is so great because it means I never need to order from a big book store. It’s so adorable inside but it’s not only for kids! She sells other books too. I also love the monthly book swaps (super ecofriendly) all of the fun events she sets up & the free book clubs! The store also sells cute bags, stickers, toys, & other merchandise. I hope this store stays here forever!

Such an adorable book store! Absolutely worth visiting. The book seller was easy to talk with and had lots of good suggestions. Love that they have a calendar of events for different ages. You can also find some signed copies of books here too. Can’t wait to come back with my kids.

Drove to Gilbert just to check out this bookshop and I was not disappointed! Laura (owner) is the sweetest person and so very helpful. Her shop is perfectly curated and if you have young children, you’ll want to bring them in and get them hooked on reading!

A tiny local gem packed with character and lots of great reads. I only had a few moments to stop in before a nearby event, but I’m so glad I did! I’ll definitely swing by again the next time I’m in the area. This charming spot has books for all ages, and unique local finds!
