Over 20,000 books to dig through

From children’s picture books to adult novels, spiritual texts to mass market paperbacks, there is something for every reader in your family.

For the little ones

Board books, picture books, early readers and chapter books.

Middle grade & YA

Series, standalones and plenty of school-holiday reading.

Romance & romantasy

Romance, romantasy and fantasy, well stocked and well loved.

Everything else

Fiction, non-fiction, religion, cookbooks and more.

Fair warning: this is a treasure hunt, not a library

Nothing is alphabetized. Nothing is sorted. The good stuff is buried, and digging it out is half the fun. Come with time and a sense of adventure.

Where to find us

SOPHIBOOKS at Lakeline Mall, Cedar Park, Texas

Two storefronts side by side — children’s books on one side, teen and adult titles next door. One bag works in both, so families can browse together and still find the right book for everyone.

Before you come

Bags are provided

No need to bring your own. $35 per bag, fill it as full as you can.

Bring a friend

Two sets of eyes beat one when nothing is sorted.

Bring a bigger car

Bigger than you think you need. People always underestimate this.

Give yourself time

The best finds come to people who dig. Rushing defeats the point.

Questions

How many books fit in a bag?

Roughly 25, depending on size. That is about $1.40 a book.

Can I come more than one day?

Yes, and plenty of people do. We restock every morning, so each day brings different books.

Do you take donations at the sale?

We do — and if you have more than you can carry, we will collect them from your door for free. Book a free pickup.
