Beautiful local book shop. Proprietor was happy to make recommendations based on prior reading, and has a great selection. Go discover something new! I am a science fiction and fantasy fan, and found a series I loved called the Licanius Trilogy - and returned for more. The history buff in me found a series of unrelated books about the cold war. In the age of Amazon, you cant put a price on a local personalized touch. Would recommend.

If you enjoy a treasure hunt, this is a great place to spend some time! On first glance the space may seem disorganized, but the owner is very knowledgeable of what she has on the shelves. The stock is shelved/organized by category and I was able to find some great new (to me ) books.

I’ve visited my fair share of bookstores, and I’d have to say that ReReads Bookshop is by far the most incredible one I’ve been to. The selection is great, so if you’re just browsing, you’ll definitely find a book or two up your alley. And if you’ve already got a book in mind, the incredible mind of Jill, the owner and one of the sweetest people I have ever met, will know exactly where to find it for you. The prices are great and the books are, for the most part, gently used. Overall, my experience at ReReads was awesome. I’d definitely travel over a hundred miles to visit again.

Better selection than the big store down the road. Great prices. Employees are amazing. The only complaint I have is that it is not open longer, otherwise great store. 👍

ReReads is a small used book store but there selection and variety is incredible.They have classics, local authors, bestsellers, and a big young adult section. The prices are very fair and they have many great sales and deals often. The employees were very patient and kind. I will definetly be visiting again soon.

My eldest daughter spends a fair amount of time in this particular book store. Shes got very good prices and when your a return customer you may find some pretty great deals. Its not uncommon for us to pop in a couple times a month. My daughter loves hard cover books and in the sets . If she doesnt have what we are looking for she goes out of get way too find it!!

The cutest find in Westerly. I was visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this shop, ended up walking out with 7 books for $48! Definitely stop in if you’re passing through or visiting RI. The shop has a cozy-home feel to it and the owner is so nice!

I just really started getting back into book reading, and Im quite the picky reader. I was lucky to stumble into this book shop while walking around Westerly during a rainy day. The books Jill recommended to me were perfect. I gave a very short description of the types of books I like but she still was able to match an excellent book for me! All I said was that I loved Of Mice and Men because of the details in it and the at face simplicity which it seems to have. She matched Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry to me. I just started reading it and its excellent. I will be coming back. I am continuing to recommend this store to everyone I know in RI that loves reading! Amazing prices as well :)

Living proof of the value, the necessity of the brick-and-mortar independent bookstore. Strike up a conversation, learn about books, get recommendations from other patrons! Already looking forward to my next visit. (Apparently, its so positive, Ive lost the ability to write in complete sentences!)

Stop by this place and you will be leaving with a little bit more than books. Jill was not only an amazing,knowledgeable shop owner but is also generous and kind; with a selection like none other in the area. If you miss coming home from the bookstore smiling with exactly what you DIDNT know what you were looking for this is the place...much love jill.The more people that smoke herb, The more babylon fall.-Tuff Gong

We always look for a used bookstore when we travel and were delighted to find ReReads Bookshop when in Westerly at the end of March. We liked our visit on Saturday so much that we came back on Sunday. Success! We found some wonderful books both days; interesting conversations with owner Jill and her husband (who staffed the shop that Saturday) were a bonus. Its a lovely bookshop, full of all kinds of reading treasures...highly recommended!

This bookshop is amazing. I went in just to browse and ended up leaving with some great finds for my son, husband, and myself. Great selection and personalized recommendations from the owner. Tell your friends to hit up Rereads - because Amazon doesn’t have a Jill!!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It is cute, clean, bright and cheerful. The books are in great condition and organized by category. The owner is very nice and helpful. My husband and I are hoping to move to the Westerly area and she gave us some good advice and tips. This was our 2nd time there... it is a mandatory stop if you love books.

Review №32

Stopping by ReReads while in Westerly for the weekend was one of my favorite bookstore experiences Ive had. The open-late bookstore attracted a crowd of book lovers one Saturday night and we engaged with the owner in a lively discussion, sharing recommendations and tales of our favorite tales all around. While ReReads isnt huge, we were able to find many books that we were recommending to each other, but also left with recommendations for books that werent in stock. The owner is very interested in engaging with patrons to find out their interests, both out of her genuine interest in books and too better accommodate a diverse and growing selection. If I find myself in Westerly again Id definite enjoy re-visiting ReReads.

I found this bookstore when I waiting for my friend. I walked in and was instantly welcome and transported to a book lovers heaven. Their are so many books that are fairly priced that I couldve spent all night there. The owner is extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I brought my friend back with me after dinner to look for books for her classroom and the owner helped us pull books for her students. She even donated books because we paid out of pocket for our classroom. Very supportive of literacy in school and trying to get kids interested in reading. I highly recommend visiting this store because you wont leave empty-handed.

With books bursting off the shelves and a huge, eclectic collection, Re-Reads makes it possible for me to save money, care for the environment and support a local business.... All at the same time! Bring your books back for a very fair store credit.

Review №53

My experience here started out alright and got worse as time went on. The owner wasnt very helpful when I asked where a certain book could be found and when I asked she pointed to a few bookshelves and said itd be somewhere around there. After being there for a few more minutes she asked if I was just browsing or looking to purchase something to which I replied I was just browsing. Then she said dont move any books then because it creates a lot of work for her. Whats the point of a bookshop where you cant touch any books? Not sure.So I said Id just look when a couple more minutes she passed and she said the last person like me ( a missionary) didnt buy anything either and in an almost polite manner asked my friend and I to leave. You are much better off heading to Savoy Bookshop almost across the street with much more helpful staff.
