We believe in the power of the written word + shared stories.

Growing up without a TV, I read and read and read. Still do - plus I have discovered audiobooks, so I read while I’m up to my elbows in soil and putting miles onto my car. I devour books with intriguing stories about people - real or imagined. While my reading preferences skew pretty sharply towards contemporary, literary, and historical fiction, I’m also a sucker for memoirs, young adult fiction, and children's picture books.

I love historical fiction because I like to learn things as I read while enjoying the embellishments allowed in fiction. I love being a grandmother of five and showing them - and others - the wonders of gardening.

A bookseller for over 40 years, my favorites include well-written novels, historic fiction, entertaining and non-creepy mysteries, and any book that makes me laugh.

Literary fiction, cereal boxes, and street signs, I read anything I can get my hands on and I get really caught up in whatever I do read. When I was ten, I took Island of the Blue Dolphins out of the library and went on to renew it each week for the entire summer because I loved it so much. Two summers later, Salem’s Lot left me convinced that my cat was a vampire, and I wouldn’t let him come into the house. Nothing beats a good story!

“Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained thoughts found the honey of peace in old poems.” - Robinson Jeffers

I am a seasonal reader - historical fiction in the winter, middle grade fiction in the spring, lighter fiction in the summer, and cozy mysteries in the fall - and I’m passionate about children’s literature, which is often full of joy and hope. Whether I am hiking, working outdoors, or traveling, I always have a book in my bag!

Hi! My name is Elisa. I have worked at the Brewster Book Store since the summer of 2021 after teaching in elementary school for many years. I have always loved reading biographies, historical fiction and picture books. My bookseller job has encouraged me to explore Middle Grade Fiction and Magical Realism. What Fun!

I’m a gardener, artist and writer. My love of books comes from my very, very patient mother who would read us stacks upon stacks of books. My favorites are nonfiction - nature, bio, memoirs, food lit, travel. I love reading about people and the earth, about places I may never get to see, about the ways we hurt each other, heal each other, and laugh with each other. I am all over the place!

My name is Sadie. I have worked at the bookstore for three years. I read a lot of young adult and fantasy. When I am not working, I enjoy dancing and hanging out with my dog.

I enjoy reading a variety of genres. My favorites are thriller, mystery and fiction. You can find me reading no fewer than three books at the same time. When I’m not reading, I enjoy running track, baking scones and more, and keeping up with today's top hits in the music world.

I am an animal and book lover. My favorite books usually involve unhinged female protagonists. I also enjoy movies, pop culture, folk art, and antiquing. I live on Cape Cod with my husband and senior cat and dog.

I like books that are multilayered in perspective and stories with a strong sense of place - even ones told by a bird! I am an artist, I like to bake, and I work at BBS to feed my book addiction.

I am an avid reader of romcoms, mysteries, thrillers, and historical fiction. When I’m not reading, I enjoy baking, traveling, paddle boarding, volunteering at the Family Pantry of Cape Cod, and walking with my dogs. This summer I am sampling variations of purple cow ice cream across Cape Cod!

I'm an avid and open-minded reader, though my favorite books are coming-of-age stories with complex female protagonists. Beyond reading, I enjoy writing, traveling, hiking, and spending time with my loved ones and rescue dog, Nala.

This is my first year working at the Brewster Book Store and I am so excited! Some of my favorite book genres include historical fiction and young adult fiction. Other than reading, my favorite activities are dancing and acting.

I am a passionate about stories, whether through books or telling them on stage. Some of my favorite genres are realistic fiction and mystery, and I have extensive knowledge of children’s literature. When I am not at the bookstore, I run an arts outreach program at the Eastham Public Library.

I love to read—general fiction, historical fiction, and I have recently become a fan of fantasy and science fiction. When I am not reading, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, going for walks, and eating good food. I love being able to share my passion for reading with everyone who comes into the store.
