"This adorable little store has a fantastic variety of books, as well as Warhammer figurines, a small selection of yarns, and a variety of vintage and homemade jewelry! Such a cozy atmosphere to go and hang out."

"We stopped at The Shire Bookstore on our way from TN to Paducah. It was #91 in our quest to visit independent bookstores across the US. The Shire is located in what would be described as a nondescript strip mall. Don't judge a book by the cover. Anna Tobey was interested, interesting, and involved. She holds fun activities, like a birthday party for Harry Potter. Like new, well priced used books and new ones too. If you live nearby or are passing through, I highly recommend visiting this delightful, small town bookstore. Say hi to Anna!"

"The Shire is just as wonderful as one would imagine, given its namesake. Book shops such as this are becoming increasingly rare. I discovered The Shire by chance, but I will definitely make the trip to visit again."

"I can’t say enough good things about The Shire Bookstore. Not only is it a cozy haven for book lovers with a fantastic selection of new and used books, but the monthly book club meetings have become a highlight for me. Engaging with fellow readers in such a welcoming environment has deepened my appreciation for literature and community. Owner Anna Tobey’s warmth and inclusivity make every visit special. If you’re looking for a place that fosters both a love for books and genuine connections, The Shire is it. Lyon County, and the region, is lucky to have this business."
