Story Casita

A casita full of stories

Stories that
come to you.

A traveling bookshop, rolled right up to your corner of the world.

The Story Casita brings hand-picked books to markets, events, neighborhoods, and pop-ups. Find us, browse a while, and take home your next favorite read.

Our story

A bookshop with no fixed address — and that's the magic.

The Story Casita started with a simple belief: a good book should be easy to stumble upon. So we packed our shelves into a casita on wheels and hit the road, popping up where people already gather.

Every title is hand-selected with care — the kind of collection you’d find in a beloved neighborhood shop, only it rolls right up to your favorite market, festival, or street corner.

We’re two readers who can’t help sharing what we love. You’ll rarely catch us without a book or an e-reader in hand, and The Story Casita grew straight out of that: a way to pass along the stories that have meant the most to us.

Hand-picked

A tight, thoughtful selection — never overwhelming.

Comes to you

We set up where your community already is.

Personal picks

Tell us what you love and we’ll match you.

Voices we love

Meet us

The readers behind the casita

A husband-and-wife team — proudly Black and Puerto Rican-owned — sharing the stories we love, one stop at a time. We live for the moment a reader walks away with something they can’t put down.

Monique

Founder · Reader-in-chief

Rarely seen without her e-reader, Monique is a fiction lover through and through — thrillers, romance, historical fiction, horror, adventure, and everything in between. If it tells a good story, she’s already three chapters deep. Tell her what you last loved and she’ll have the perfect next read waiting for you.

Kevin

Co-founder · Resident lore-keeper

Kevin brings the anime, manga, and art side of the shelves to life. He gravitates toward history, comics from DC to Marvel, and a well-spun spy thriller. Ask him for a recommendation and he’ll happily talk your ear off until he’s found your next favorite.
