About
Books Around the Corner is Gresham's one stop mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and horror specialty independent bookshop. We also have non-book items such as greeting cards, stickers, pins, bookish shirts, journals, and more.
Owner and sole employee, Stephanie Rose, loves books. She says good morning and good night to different characters and authors every day. They're friends. She loves how they feel, smell, and the sound they make when you open them.
She reads voraciously. As soon as she wakes, while getting ready to open the shop, on a rainy day, on a sunny day, you'll never find her without at least one book. She loves people who read. They are her people. She knows she owes them time and attention to find the book they are searching for whether it's at Books Around the Corner or elsewhere.
She runs a bookshop. She keeps it organized and clean becaues she's Type A and a "Monica" and because readers and books deserve it. After the first few years of being open she's realized that the demand for certain genres surpasses other areas in the shop so now she only sells Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery and Horror for all ages and bookish gifts.
