Indie Bookstore Spotlight: Eight Cousins Books

We recently traveled to Cape Cod for a big family vacation, so you know I had to be on the lookout for indie bookstores while we were there!  In downtown Falmouth, we came across Eight Cousins Books!

Eight Cousins Books actually has two storefronts, just a few doors down from one another.  I first went to the location that carries books for adults (and also some puzzles and gifts).  It's not a huge space, but they manage to pack a lot in!  I snagged a holiday romance for later this year!  My sister and I went back for a second visit, and she really loved the selection.





After that, I went to their second location, which caters to children!  I loved it, a whole store just for children's books, games, and toys!  Eight Cousins Kids is quite a bit larger than the other location, and Henry had a great time checking everything out, as you can see in the last picture!





If you find yourself in Falmouth, I definitely recommend checking out these two indie bookstores!

  1. What a fun duo of bookstores! Love it! Looks like Henry was having fun for sure and I have no doubt that you and your sister enjoyed the adult one. I love independent bookstores and visiting them is a highlight of trips and vacations that we take. Have a good reading week, Angela!!

  2. I try to find indie bookstores when I travel as well. I tend to connect the books I buy there with the visit, which makes it even more special.

    Both Eight Cousins stores look so inviting and well-stocked.

  3. I love that they have two storefronts close together, one for adults and one for children. That's so clever actually!
