This winter, Wesley and Laine both graduated from school and headed out on their own adventures. We’re going to miss them so much – they’ve been with us from the very beginning and it won’t be the same without them. They’re good kids.
We love ‘em, we are proud of ‘em, and they will always be a part of our bookstore family 💚💚💚

Founded in March 2024 by Kate and Justin Wieners, Monstera’s Books quickly became a neighborhood favorite.
Built from Kate’s lifelong love of reading and her desire to create a space centered around books, plants, and community, the shop had been thriving for over a year before life threw them a curveball.
Last summer, a fire in the building next door forced Monstera’s to rebuild from the ground up. Like any good story, theirs came with a few trials and tribulations. Through grit, determination, and an incredible outpouring of community support, they found their way to the other side and reopened stronger than ever! 🫶
Kate and Justin live just down the street from the shop with their two little girls. Their customers are their neighbors, and they built this bookstore for the community they call home.
And if you can’t get enough, head to their website. Their blog shares all the juicy details, from building the bookstore to rebuilding it, along with bookstore road trips, local author events, and book clubs that connect readers right here in Downtown OP.
Monstera’s serves as a great reminder to bet on yourself. It just might work out. ❤️

“As for myself, all I ask of you is a little time together this winter so we can share the book in front of a fire, maybe, and escape the blustery cold outside.”💚💚💚

*About the book:*
Mo Denton has been obsessed with the classic feminist novel The Proud and the Lost for as long as she can remember. When Mo puts everything she has into writing a modern adaptation of her all-time favorite book, her agent Yuri loves it—but can’t pitch it anywhere. The original author’s estate must approve any adaptation, and so far, it has never allowed one to go forward.
The agent who represents the estate—Wes Spencer—is also working on an updated version of the beloved story. Promoting Mo’s project would go against Wes’s own interests, and he’s reluctant to bring it to Estelle Morgan, the elderly daughter of the original novelist. But when Yuri contacts Estelle herself, Estelle invites Mo and Wes to her home for a weekend where they will pitch each book to her and let her decide whose book will be approved–and whose work will be destined for deletion.
Soon, Mo and Wes realize that they have more in common than just their love of the original book. As they grow closer and wait for the estate’s decision, will the secrets Wes is keeping ruin the bond between them, or can they find their way to a happy ending?

In August, the restaurant next door caught fire and caused damage to the entire building – including our bookstore. The building survived, but smoke and water damage forced us to remove everything – our entire inventory was ruined and we had to replace the floor, drywall, and bookshelves, and more.
We had worked for 2 years to get the store to a place we were proud of. It was painful to literally undo that work and throw so much of it in the trash. After 3 months of hard work, with lots of help, and lots of preparation, we were able to open up again on Black Friday – just in time for the holidays. We wouldn’t have survived if it had gone any longer.
The store looks a lot like it did before and we’re proud of that! We replaced the floor with the same checkers. We hired a restoration company to refinish our homemade bookshelves. We spent many days and weekends cleaning whatever we could salvage, like our cashier desk and neon sign.
Here are a few photos of the process. You can check out our blog for more stories and behind the scenes photos (link in bio).
Thanks to all the friends and family who helped us get back. We love our neighbors 💚

We say “neighbor” a lot… we have stickers and stamps and we even printed it on the front door. It might be a little cheesy and we know that, but we also mean it. We are normal humans who live 5 minutes from the store and we did this because we love books and we love plants and we love our town.
My name is Kate and I work at the store full-time. I wanted to quit my corporate sales job to do something I loved and was proud of. This store is my dream and I love every second of being here.
Justin is our bookstore dad who loves the retro books you see sprinkled throughout our shelves. He is a graphic designer who creates all our merch and website and photography. You will probably find him out front making sure the girls don’t ride their scooters in the street.
Our girls are 6 and 2 years old. They spend a lot of time at the store now – working the toy cash register, playing legos with other kids, or watching netflix in the storage room. There are worse ways to grow up, and we’re glad they get to be a part of our big adventure.
See you soon… neighbor 😉
