Discover the Magic of Hyperbole Bookstore: Bryan-College Station’s Only Independent Book Haven
Discover Hyperbole Bookstore, the only independent bookstore in BCS, offering books, gifts, events & more!
A Bookstore Built on Passion and Community
If you haven’t made your way to Hyperbole Bookstore yet, consider this your official invitation. Nestled in College Station, Texas, Hyperbole is more than just a place to buy books, it’s a cozy, colorful, and delightfully eccentric home for readers, thinkers, creators, and community seekers alike. Since opening in October 2023, Hyperbole has quickly carved out a unique space in the Brazos Valley as the only independent bookstore in the area.
Founded by a dynamic mother-daughter duo, Hyperbole is the brainchild of a former college professor and her daughter, a College Station High School alum and published author. While living in Minnesota, they noticed a lack of independent bookstores in College Station and felt called to fill that gap. Their love for stories and shared belief in the importance of indie bookstores led them to move back to Texas and bring this literary haven to life.
Whether you’re a lifelong reader, a weekend page-turner, or just looking for a thoughtful gift, Hyperbole is a must-visit.
More Than Books: A Carefully Curated Experience
When you walk into Hyperbole, you’re not just stepping into a bookstore, you’re stepping into an experience. Their vibrant selection includes not just bestselling and indie titles, but also thoughtful gifts you didn’t know you needed. Think quirky pins, witty stickers, tote bags, jigsaw puzzles, literary candles, and eye-catching magnets.
They’ve created a space that welcomes curiosity and invites exploration. It’s the perfect spot to:
- Discover your next favorite novel
- Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts
- Attend immersive community events
- Spend a quiet morning flipping through new releases
