Who We Are

Welcome to our book haven, where each page is a step into a fantastic journey and every cover a new friend.

We're passionate about reading, authors, and the bookish community as a whole. The owner, Whitney, is a lifelong bookworm, runs a Facebook group of almost 20k members (Bookish Baddies) along with some of her closest friends, and has been working hand in hand with Authors as a literary editor, Alpha/Beta/ARC & proofreader for the last couple of years. OH, and she’s been a published author since the age of 14. She turned her childhood experiences and pain into art through poetry & was able to reach the hearts of others.

Our goal at bayside books is to be a home away from home for our local community of readers. We strive to be a place where you know our names, are guaranteed to be greeted with a smile, and are able to find something in our store that you love! If we don’t already have books that you love in stock, let us know so that we can fit it. We promise, we will order books specifically for you, if we can.


What a great and welcoming shop for an event! Had everything I needed and Whitney made me feel so welcomed! Loved it! She had inventory for everyone! Dark romance, romance, even kid books for the littles! Go check it out!
