Peddling Prose Bookshop

Running a mobile bookstore is equal parts joy, chaos, and hearing the same handful of phrases over and over. 😂📚
Some of them sting a little. Some of them make us laugh. And honestly? They all come with the territory.
But what sticks with me isn’t any of that.
It’s the people who come back to tell me they loved a book I recommended. The customers who bring their friends to find me at my next market. The people who intentionally choose to shop small, even when they have other options. And the incredible community of local vendors who show up for one another every weekend.
That’s what keeps this little mobile bookstore rolling. ❤️
Thank you for supporting Peddling Prose, finding me out in the community, and helping prove that independent bookstores still have a place in this world.
Good morning and happy Tuesday, book lovers! 📚☀️
Here’s a silent book review featuring some of the books we’ve been diving into lately.

We're taking a little time off this month to recharge, so Tilly's calendar is a little lighter than usual. 💛 You can still catch us at these two July events:
🌿 July 23
Night Garden Market at Isaac Taylor Garden
🕕 6–9 PM
🦞 July 31
Angry Lobster Night Market at Carolina Home & Garden
🕔 5–10 PM
If you can't make it out, you can still support Peddling Prose from home! Order your next book through Bookshop.org and it'll ship straight to your door while still supporting our little bookshop. Prefer audiobooks? Check out our Libro.fm link and support us while you listen.
Thanks for giving us the chance to take a little breather. We can't wait to see you at the end of the month! 📚💚

After a busy first half of the year, Tilly and I are taking a little summer vacation. 💛☀️
We’ll be taking most of July off to rest, recharge, and maybe read a few books ourselves. Thank you for supporting this little dream enough that taking a break is even possible.
Don’t worry though—we’ll still be popping up at a few events toward the end of the month, and we can’t wait to see you then!
Need your next read while we’re away?
📚 Order online anytime through Bookshop.org or Libro.fm to continue supporting Peddling Prose.
🐝 Or stop by our sister store, The Bookshelf, inside The Backyard Bees.
See you soon, friends. Happy reading! 💛

🐉 If you love dragons, forbidden romance, and characters who keep you on the edge of your seat, Starside deserves a spot on your TBR.
Come for the fantasy. Stay for the betrayals, impossible choices, and emotional damage. ✨
