I love this bookstore! I was introduced to them when I went to a book signing they were hosting at the Historic Artcraft Theater. It is a house turned bookstore and they have a great selection of books, stickers, candles, bags, cups, and just about everything else you want from a book store at a reasonable price. I especially love how all of the cookbooks were located in the kitchen area that still looks like a kitchen. The staff is great and very friendly.

Third time visiting during the holidays and it's been truly uplifting! Not only did I find perfect gifts for my loved ones, but I also discovered a captivating book for myself. They offer a diverse range of genres and one of the employees graciously guided me to find personalized treasures for my family. Another patron enthusiastically recommended a book she'd read, which sparked a delightful conversation. By the end of my visit, I had purchased it! The prices are incredibly reasonable for books, stickers, clothing, candles and more. Exceptional customer service made this experience truly unforgettable. I eagerly anticipate returning!

Drove all the way to Franklin to visit Wild Geese Bookshop for a Let's Be Friends - Indy book swap. I have never been to Franklin before. It is SO cute but this book shop, you definitely have to check it out. It has so much character, amazing books - including very trendy and popular authors, it's clean and the owner is on site and amazing. Recommend!

Wild Geese is one of my "must stops" in Franklin. Tiffany and her crew are so accommodating and kind. The selection at Wild Geese is incredible for an independent bookstore. I can always find something there that I have to buy! The events they host are some of the best I've been to, and they always do a great job of selecting great authors! If you are a reader in any capacity, Wild Geese is worth the stop. They have books (obviously) stickers, candles, tote bags, tshirt, care packages, cook books, bookish items, and anything else you could dream up. I LOVE looking at their cards too, I always stop there first when I need a card!

Great little bookstore in adorable Franklin, Indiana! Franklin is a short drive from Indy and definitely worth a visit for all the cute shops and downtown... While you are there, don't miss Wild Geese Bookshop! They had a great selection of holiday offerings and lovely staff. I love when an owner is onsite, too... what a gem!

An adorable converted house turned into a magical bookstore. Everything about this place makes you want to stay a while. There are 4 different rooms, including a children's books room and more of a crafty goods / knick knacks rooms. They offer both new reads and classic favorites. One aspect I loved was that several books around the shop were featured as "staff picks" so you could read about why the staff recommended these books. I was really impressed by the sales associate working there: she made it appoint to talk to everyone & had a great way of making connections & relating to everyone. It's enjoyable shopping in a place where workers genuinely enjoy their job. It's not a cheap shop though and there is no discount book section, so you might leave empty handed like me, but it was still extremely enjoyable!

Wild Geese is quintessential downtown Franklin.It feels like home (pun fully intended - it's a converted house) and every room is stacked with books. Staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is incredible, and they have a great selection to choose from. Yes, it's a bit more expensive than shopping online, but that's not really what supporting this small business is about. Absolutely worth checking out if you're a bookworm and in Franklin! One of our family favorites.

This is a quaint little book store. On the table in front of me, as I walked in, were Girl Scout Cookies for sale. This building used to be a house obviously, so the front room on the right is dedicated to children. The front room on the left is for the adults. Don't forget to check out the back room on the left because you may not notice it until you check out like I did.I was a little surprised to find an AUTOGRAPHED COPY of a Jack Carr novel, "In The Blood" with his Navy SEAL James Reece character. If you have Amazon Prime and have watched "The Terminal List," then you are familiar with the James Reece character played by Chris Pratt in that TV series. "In The Blood" is the fifth book penned by Jack Carr featuring James Reece. I had not seen this book featured in any of the other five bookstores I have visited this week in their Current Publications section. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this book and it is autographed; a bonus for me.I did find a street parking spot in the same block on a Saturday but it was the last one. When I came out though there were two available spaces plus the one I was giving up. The next block was completely empty so there was plenty of parking, just not right by the front door.

Lovely little independent bookstore in downtown Franklin - definitely worth the drive from Indy. The spacious front porch is lined with comfy chairs, and there is a window seat inside lined with pillows (book print pillows!) in case you want to sit down to read a bit before purchasing your books. The selection is fairly small, but they offer a wide variety of books. There is also a separate room for children's books and some toys.After choosing your books, head over to one of the (several) nearby coffee shops to round out your Franklin experience.

Oh my god, have I found my new favorite bookshop? This is one of the cutest businesses I've ever been to! So comfy and cozy and they truly know their target audience. Somehow, every available surface is covered in such a unique collection of books yet the shop is spacious and bright! Everyone was incredibly kind and informative and I felt right at home. So glad I made the stop during the Indie Indy Book Crawl! I will definitely be back and if you're in Franklin, you HAVE to stop by!
