Readers Retreat

Hello, Fellow Readers!

Before we decided to create a garden retreat, Chris planned to open a used bookstore. After collecting books for many years, the inventory intended for the bookstore became the library for Whidwood on Whidbey Island.

The library includes quite a bit of literary fiction, both novels & short story collections. There are also some classics, as well as memoirs; plus garden, architecture and interior-design books.

We often sit down with our guests to share wine, and to chat about our favorite books. Occasionally, a guest leaves us a book to add to the collection, and sometimes we share an extra copy of a favorite with them.
