"In the world through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself."- Frantz Fanon

Welcome to Gone Astray Books!
When I was 18 years old, I decided I wanted to open a bookstore. I wanted to share my love of reading with the world. Here I am 18 years later and finally accomplishing my dream. At this store, you will find a plethora of books, books that are ready to be read and loved. Ready to be part of you.
You see, I am that person who always need more bookshelves The person who others say "you have too many books." Well, I don't think there is such a thing as too many books. Each book opens a new world - a new adventure.
I am here to share my love and passion with you. Whether you are a fan of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or any other vast collection of literature, you are here to start a journey. I love that I can be part of that journey with you. With that being said, happy reading. Enjoy and embrace the journey words can provide. You won't regret it.
Must Reads!
Here you will find a selection of hand picked literature chosen, not just by me, but also my husband and son. If you read a book that you think everyone should read, send me contact information and we will make sure it ends up in the "Must Read" section of this bookstore.

Come Read with Me!
Remarkably Smart Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is both tender and inventive, using the perspective of an octopus to delve into human grief and resilience. With lyrical prose and well-paced plotting, Remarkably Bright Creatures captures the quiet beauty of human connection, memory, and forgiveness. It’s a deeply empathetic read that bridges literary fiction and feel-good storytelling.
