About Us
Hi friends! I’m Jamie Loik, the heart behind this little dream of a bookstore. I’m a wife, a boy-mom to two adventurous sons, and a cat mom to three spoiled felines who think they run the house. For the past 13+ years, I’ve worked as a surgical technologist at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in both Little Rock and Springdale, but books have always been my true escape and passion—I’m a reader of all genres and believe there’s a story out there for everyone.
As my family and I plant deeper roots here in Gentry, AR, I’m excited to bring this passion to life with a bookstore of my own. While we’re searching for the perfect retail space, we’ll be starting online—offering both new and gently used books for readers of all ages. Beyond books, you’ll find fun extras like t-shirts, totes, stationery, and all sorts of bookish merch and accessories that make reading even more joyful.
But this bookstore is about more than just shelves of books—it’s about building a community of readers. We can’t wait to host book clubs, book fairs, and other fun events where people of all ages can gather, connect, and celebrate the love of reading together.
Whether you’re hunting for your next favorite read or just want to hang out with fellow book lovers, we hope you’ll join us on this journey.
