"When I was young the need to escape my world was strong, so I turned to books where I lived out extravagant adventures in previously unimaginable worlds. There I found some of my best friends and frequently return to their worlds when I’m needing a escape from life."
Heather Edwards, Owner
The name Rivendell Books and Baubles comes from two of the bookshop owner’s favorite literary works. Rivendell is the valley in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of The Ring series that the Elvish people call home. Books and Baubles comes from Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series where Barron’s Books and Baubles is the place that main character MacKayla Lane calls home.
Our goal at Rivendell is to provide a sanctum for people to escape too. In my opinion there isn’t anything better than curling up with a good book and losing a few hours in a fantastic story. We offer more than just books, we offer adventures, conversation, wisdom (subjective), and who knows maybe if you go poking around you may even find something magical!
