S2 Ep8: Creating Community One Book at a Time

As the Downtown Social District of Panama City, Florida, sees revitalization thanks to dedicated locals and city officials, many new businesses have emerged. One of those is Bookish Boutique, a trendy and charming bookstore and gift shop with a mission to create community among the population of readers in Northwest Florida's Gulf Coast area and beyond. Owner Jenny Kelley joined VIE editor/VIE Book Club podcast host Jordan Staggs to talk about opening her store to rave reviews, fostering connections with other downtown businesses, supporting authors of all genres with book signings and other events, and much more. From tackling our TBR to examining BookTok and the rise in romantasy, rom-coms, and other recent book trends, this conversation is all about celebrating readers and the things they love. Stop by Bookish Boutique at 456 Harrison Avenue in Panama City, Florida, to get your fix!
