About Us
Bookish, LLC was established in the fall of 2026 after acquiring the inventory of Under Charlie’s Covers, a beloved used bookstore that served the Bernalillo community for 17 years.
While the name on the storefront is new, our mission is rooted in preserving the spirit of a place that connected readers, sparked curiosity, and fostered a love of books for nearly two decades. We are honored to continue that legacy while creating a fresh, welcoming space for readers of every age.
At Bookish, we believe every book deserves another chapter.
Whether you're searching for your next favorite novel, trading in books you've loved, searching for a brand-new release, or discovering your child's first great story, we're here to help you find books that inspire, entertain, and connect.
More than a bookstore, we hope to become a gathering place for our community—a place where conversations begin, imaginations grow, and every visit feels like coming home. We can't wait to welcome you through our doors and help you discover your next great read.
Bookish’s owner,
Angela Shiver
