Welcome to Besties Bookshelf!

We wanted to take a minute to introduce ourselves. We started out as coworkers that run our offices from three different corners of North Carolina. Sara and I have been friends for over 15 years and recently started a small book club, month two Samantha just kinda wormed her way in as well. What started as a book club grew to what we know will be a lifelong friendship and now we have decided to open this store to help others find their book besties and a community to share our love of everything book related.
Read on for a short individual bio of each of us.
Michelle:
I’m Michelle, I’m married to a self proclaimed comic book nerd and we have three fur babies. Two cats and a dog. Never mention them unless you have time to listen to their life stories and look at photos spanning the years. I’m a voracious reader, if I could I would eat, sleep, and breathe books. I much prefer my fictional worlds over the reality we live in. I also consider myself more of a Book Dragon than a Book Worm. My hoarding skills are unparalleled!
Sara:
I'm Sara. Chellefish and SammyJo are my best friends. I'm also married to a seasoned veteran Stephen King reader. We both have our own 'libraries', and he is super hot (pics, I promise). We live in a house too big for 2 people.... because we have 6 cats 🥰 I'm obsessed with thrillers, horror, comedies and a good romance. I love recommending a book or unknown author someone would love! Reading has been such an important part of my life. It got me through some really rough times. Our love of books made complete strangers into friends. I also have a very impressive amount of random facts taking up space inside my brain.
Samantha:
I'm Samantha, I've been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 16 years. We have two amazing boys together and all together 4 four legged kids that keep us busy. Books have always been my escape from everyday reality. Everyone has that one thing to help unwind after a rough day and books are always my go to. One day Michelle started talking about a book club they just formed and well… I kinda wormed my way in. From that point on they were stuck with me.
We would love to hear about how books helped your life! Email us at info@bestiesbookshelf.com

There’s a word for loving the smell of old books, it's “Bibliosmia”.
