Stopped in for the first time today (and my first visit to Camp North End) and this is a lovely bookshop. They even have a small poetry section (as a poet, I always look for it) with a nice selection. Very cozy. Looking forward to don't back.

tucked away in the cutest list cove at Camp North End, That's Novel Books is truly a one of a kind find! the friendliest staff, a book for EVERYONE + a new event to explore almost weekly, you really can't find a better spot to lose yourself in a book...or meet a new member of the community! oh, + they're the BEST neighbor, too!

This book shop is so cute and staff is so lovely! I bought a book that I had read before for my cousin and she offered to put it in a gift bag for free (see picture)! They were also giving a tote bag for the first 100 customers (see picture again)! There's a small book nook with a bean bag for your little one. They also sell pretty kindle covers, so even if you're an ebook reader you can stop by. You can also bring an empty bottle to buy shampoo, detergent, etc. by the ounce. The ping pong in front of it is also so fun. You can get a ball from a dispenser for 25 cents, if you have a coin. Someone left a ball by the table for us so we played with that. The whole area is so entertaining. There's also a cookie stall and Hex coffee shop nearby.

As an avid reader & collector, I try and stop at every bookstore to add to my collection. Alyssa, the owner, is very sweet & took the time to talk to me. She offers majority used books and then a selection of some new as well. I like how the store also has other vendors including a refillable ecological cleaning brand. If you love eco clean it’s worth a look. There are also some very fun mugs & t-shirt. Charlotte gift items. Camp North End etc. Check them out 💗 Josephine Local Guide Vendor ecological

This was such a lovely little shop and clearly put together with so much love. We stopped in during our holiday shopping and enjoyed browsing around. There are puzzles, candle, and other merch besides the books (used and new). But most exciting for me as a gift giver to a nerdy husband was that they have many Warhammer sets and paints! I only took a photo of the big boxes above some of the books, but how cool. The very helpful staffer told me they’re planning on doing some Warhammer events and other things starting in 2026!

That's Novel is the BEST used bookstore in Charlotte! A massive selection of used (and new!) books and so many cool goods from local businesses. I love the layout of the store, the vibe and decor is perfect, exactly what you'd want a bookstore to be/feel. Owner Alyssa is amazing, she is an avid reader and book lover and that shines through the store. I love the diversity and inclusivity, big homage to SHOP LOCAL! I'll be back time and time again.

I have been in here a few times just walking around drinking a coffee talking with a friend, but this time I went in with the intention of buying gifts with my sister who is in town visiting. I ended up buying one of their books from a blind date with a used book and I was so happy I did. I also learned that they source, the majority of the things that they sell are from local artists. Although some books are not locally sourced, they still purchase with local book vendors and small businesses in the area. The person who checked us out was really kind and informative. You got a couple of Christmas gifts for some of our bookworms in our family. Can’t wait to be back!

Whether or not you agree with their politics, That’s Novel Books in Camp North End is a tiny(but mighty in its own right) institution in Charlotte. We had known about it for a while but finally visited it during the pottery festival weekend. The inside of the bookstore is a panoply of neatly laid out books by genres. And if your attention might happen to wander toward the ceiling, you see a clever take on making the place more adorable with many books hanging on wires. We liked that they had a section devoted to local writers! The merchandise section is worth checking out as well. We liked our time here, and will visit here again whenever we are in the area. The staff is polite and tries their best. You can park in any of the parking areas of Camp North End and walk to this bookstore. We highly recommend visiting this place.
