Welcome to Haven Books.
We're so glad you're here.
Haven Books is a small, woman-owned online boutique built around the idea that reading should feel like an experience — cozy, curious, and full of voices worth listening to.
What haven means to us.
We're here to celebrate stories — and to create a small, welcoming corner of the internet where readers can find ones worth keeping.
A safe space for diverse stories
Whenever possible, we source books by women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ authors — including highly-rated debut writers — so the voices that don't always get heard get a stage here.
Thoughtfully chosen, not algorithmically picked
Our books are carefully researched and highly rated across Storygraph, Goodreads, and beyond. A plethora — a veritable smorgasbord — of well-written reads.
A little surprise, a lot of care
We specialize in Blind Date with a Book — every package is unique, with personalized wrapping and cozy extras. No two are exactly alike.
A single parent in Ohio with a serious book habit.
Hi! I’m Amy, and I’m passionate about books. I’m a single parent, based in Ohio, with a background in writing, music, theater, reading (of course), and payroll. My day job is part data analyst, part project manager, but I am a full-time book nerd.
I’ve always loved getting immersed in a story, so I wanted to create a welcoming space where readers can find beautiful stories. Incorporating the element of surprise – such as our specialty “blind date with a book” products – just adds to the fun!
I have poured my extensive experience as a reader and a writer into curating each product, and I’m so excited to grow Haven Books.
Things we believe at Haven.
- 01 Reading is a form of self-care.

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.
For supporting a small business.
For taking the time to breathe and share stories. For believing books still matter.
we appreciate you ♡
