Wonderful experience at Sister’s Uptown Bookstore! As soon as I walked in, Jennifer greeted me and gave me a tour of the space. They have a great collection of books, products from local artisans, and an incredible willingness to help. Excited to jump into my new copy of a biography of Harry Belafonte! Thank you, Jennifer & Sister’s Uptown Bookstore.

What a lovely store!nnMs. Wilson, the store owner, was so sweet and charming. The energy she radiated was palpable. She’s a reason alone to come and visit this bookstore.nnOutside of the awesome and welcoming owner, there’s also a good selection of books. My personal favorite part of the store was all the African art on sale. I badly wanted the round mask in the picture, but didn’t have room in my suitcase for it!nnCan’t wait to visit this gem again.
