Writer's picture: Austin Portfolio Real EstateAustin Portfolio Real Estate

As the Texas heat slowly starts to fade, there’s no better way to welcome fall than by curling up with a good book from one of Austin’s beloved independent bookstores. These local spots offer more than just books—they’re community hubs with deep roots in the city’s literary scene.


Here’s where to find your next great read.



Book People

603 North Lamar Boulevard | Downtown | @bookpeople


A staple of Austin’s literary scene for over 20 years, Book People is more than just a bookstore; it’s an institution. Regular author events, a wide selection of local and national titles, and a prime location make it a go-to spot for book lovers. Their staff picks are always on point, and this fall, they’re recommending titles like A Court of Thorns and Roses and Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow.



First Light Books

4300 Speedway | Hyde Park | @firstlightbooks


Located in a building that once housed a beloved neighborhood post office,

First Light Books is keeping the community spirit alive in Hyde Park. This cozy spot offers a carefully curated selection of books that reflect the eclectic tastes of the neighborhood. Their fall picks include My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Crying in H Mart.




Black Pearl Books

7112 Burnet Road | Crestview | @blackpearlbooks


A black-female-owned gem in the Crestview neighborhood, Black Pearl Books is all about celebrating diverse voices. Their selection highlights underrepresented authors and stories, making it a vital part of Austin’s literary landscape.

For fall, they recommend The Creative Act and The Body Keeps the Score.




South Congress Books

3703 Kerbey Lane | Brykerwoods | @socobooks


If you love books that tell a story even before you crack them open,

South Congress Books is your place. Specializing in rare and vintage finds, this charming shop feels more like a treasure trove than a bookstore. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time browsing through their thoughtfully selected titles.


Vintage Bookstore and Wine Bar

1101 East 11th Street | East Austin | @vintagebooksandwine


Combining two of life’s greatest pleasures, Vintage Bookstore and Wine Bar is a dream come true for book and wine lovers alike. Located in East Austin, this spot offers a laid-back yet sophisticated atmosphere perfect for unwinding with a good book and a glass of wine. Their fall picks include God of the Woods and The Ministry of Time.
