Indie Author Spotlight

More Than a Bookstore.
More Than a Bar.

What began as a “wouldn’t it be crazy if…” conversation quickly became a space designed for book lovers to gather, unwind, and feel part of something bigger.

From book clubs and themed nights to indie author spotlights and release parties for highly anticipated titles, our goal is to become a true gathering place for Reno’s growing bookish community — one filled with stories, conversation, coffee, wine, and people who get it.

“A place for readers who fall too hard for fictional characters, fantasy lovers who never recovered from their favorite series, book clubs that spiral over theories for hours, and anyone who believes stories are better when shared.”
— Heather, Founder of Between The Covers

What They’re Saying Between The Covers

“Between The Covers feels like stepping into Velaris after dark — cozy corners, strong coffee, shelves full of stories, and enough wine to make you forgive a morally gray male for his crimes. I came in for one book and somehow left with three, a new favorite latte, and several questionable life decisions. Exactly as it should be.”
