Come for a book. Stay for the vibes. 📚
Blue House Books started as a pop-up in 2017, opened its first Downtown Kenosha storefront in 2020, and moved into its current home a year later. Owner Samantha Jacquest calls it a general interest bookstore, which means there's truly something for everyone: adult reads, kids' books, everything in between, plus bookmarks, book holders, and some very fun coffee mugs.
It's also a gathering place. There's a general book club that reads a little bit of everything, and a Banned Book Club for the titles that spark a bit more conversation. Add children's story times and author events (they just hosted one with about 100 people!), and you've got a calendar worth following.
As Samantha puts it, Blue House Books is more than a place to buy a product. It's the staff recommendations, the ambiance, and all-around good vibes.
