Once upon a time…
Hi, my name is Charity!
Along with being a lover of books, I’m also a lover of writing them. I published my first novel called Other Side of the Tracks with Simon Teen in 2022. I have another book called Laced in Gold releasing with Simon Teen next year.
But there was one dream I still hadn’t reached…
A few months ago, a breast cancer scare shook my world.
I realized then that life was too short to wait for my dreams to come true. So, followed my heart and built the kind of bookstore I always longed for: a whimsical, Regency-inspired tiny bookshop on wheels that brings books straight to the people.
We purchased and renovated a 7x14 enclosed trailer which involved a lot of paint, wallpaper, and wood shavings.
Inspired by my literary nerdiness and favorite author, Jane Austen and guided by a deep belief in the power of stories, Austen’s Shelf is designed to meet readers where they are whether at cozy coffee shops, bustling malls, charming wineries, and markets!
Inside this rolling tiny bookshop on wheels, you’ll find shelves filled with sweet romances, timeless classics, young adult favorites, non-fiction, and regency themed treasures perfect for gifting or collecting. Whether you’re hosting a book club, planning a bridal shower or wedding, or just want a unique pop-up experience, Austen’s Shelf brings a touch of storybook charm wherever it goes.
Books should be available to everyone.
And with Austen’s Shelf, they are.
