I’m so excited to use this journal!

It’s laid out in a really logical manner and there are a bunch of details to fill in (ones that I don’t normally think of tracking). The journal is small enough that you can carry it around but there’s still plenty of room to write. Customer service was also amazing!

Love it!

I love this journal! I'm a total book lover, and in the past few years have been working on expanding my book reading to cover topics and authors I may not have before. I love the idea of having a place to think about those books, and also a place to hold good recommendations!

Behind the Shop

My name is Dominique and I'm the book obsessed owner of Paperbacks & Frybread Co. Wife to a crafty ginger and mama to 6 little bear cubs. Member of the Lumbee Tribe. Writer. Artist.

This shop was birthed from my love of of the written word combined with my passion to get back home to my roots.

Embracing my cultural identity gave me a sense of community, and that's what I wanna pass on to you. A community centered around nerdy goodness, the written word, and appreciation for all.

If you've read this far, we should be friends. Come over to my TikTok and let me know you came from the shop!

Love You 3000,

Dominique
