Why was your bookstore founded/what role does it play in the community?
Wallflower Bookshop is a haven celebrating diversity and inclusion in literature. We are interested in highlighting marginalized voices and breaking stereotypes. Our aim is to elevate underrepresented stories and the experiences of “wallflowers” in books. We currently offer a collection of romance, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and banned books!
Which champion/warrior/wildcat (real or mythological) does your bookstore channel most?
Dragonflies symbolize metamorphosis and adaptability. They are messengers and guides and bring signs of joy and new beginnings.
