There is an abundance of bookstores all over Tampa Bay and the St. Petersburg area. Providing you with the good feels of a great book, you can find places with discounts, books that have been used up and loved, or fresh pages that have never been touched. Whatever you’re into, these areas will have it. From fantasy, fiction, fresh cooking, and more, you can find it at any of these bookstores.
Book + Bottle
“A bookstore with wine. A wine bar with books.” is the most perfect and simple way to describe Book + Bottle. This bookstore offers up the coziest of areas for reading, chatting, or working. To sip some wine, snack up from their yummy menu, and mellow down with a book in hand. Not big on drinking? No worries, they offer coffee and tea too!
With one of the best selections of unused fiction and more, this little book bar has so much to offer. The only thing bigger than their book selection, however, is their wine selection! What more could you ask for?

Tombolo
This popping, colorful, and welcoming bookstore has all the fun vibes you’re looking for. In a wonderful area of St. Petersburg, you can enjoy the hunt for a new book here. The wonderfully friendly staff is sure to help you find what you’re looking for. The best quality of this bookstore is that they carry books for all ages and the sections are separated very well.
Another great feature of Tombolo is that they do blind dates with a book. This is similar to what Mojo Book and Records do, but here you pick a book wrapped in paper with a very short description written on the front. This mystery game is a perfect way to surprise yourself with something new.

Mojo Book & Records
This bookstore is ready to bring you back to the days of records, CDs, and when books were solely read on paper. Mojos is like a mini Amoeba Music, decked out with knick-knacks sitting on wooden bookshelves. This bookstore is great if you’re looking for a place to sit back, relax, read, work, or study. They have a little bar that serves coffee, smoothies, tea, and lemonade. You can either sit indoors or outdoors in their section of chairs and tables. Mojo’s is stacked with all different kinds of books and music and is sure to satisfy your taste in both.
If you’re not in the mood to shop in-store, then no worries, as Mojo’s has that all figured out for you. On their website, you can search and buy books online. With this new feature of theirs, you can even have them surprise you with books and records with their mystery bags if you’re not sure of exactly what you want. Looking to get rid of some books or records, you can also sell and trade them here!
