MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Storylight Books is opening its first storefront on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 857 Hillcrest Road in Mobile.

What started as a mobile bookstore has grown into a community of readers brought together through a love of stories, pop-ups, book clubs, and themed book events. Owner Jessica Lee is excited to give that community a permanent place to gather.

The independent bookstore specializes in romance and fantasy, with books by traditionally published, indie, and local authors, plus bookish gifts and items from local makers. Storylight welcomes readers to explore the stories they love without judgment, discover something new, and meet people who share their interests.
