Not anticipated, so shop will be opening late today. 💋 Join us at 6PM for the Civil Rights Exhibit!!! 💚Sel

Hey Bookworms! A few years ago, a thoughtful friend and fellow book lover, @momma_doc_reads , gifted our bookstore with a mini library. A bus stop in front of our store runs daily, and I notice families with children waiting on the sidewalk. What catches my attention, though, are children with wandering eyes examining our windows, eager to enter and although I have welcomed them in, sometimes they don’t. Which means we have decided on the perfect spot to set up our mini free library! Come celebrate with us this Saturday June 12th from 12:00-6:00 PM. 🎉 If you wish to donate children’s books periodically to replenish our library or drop them off in our store thank you in advance! Community first! ❤️ Always grateful for you, Marty @doodling_nat 🫶🏻 #community #freebooks #childrensbooks #indiebookstore #mcallen #rgv

Shipping out online orders! If you live far away from our store front ask about shipping, we ship all over the US. We can send anything you see in our stories plus the items already available online.

We’d like to share our condolences to the family of Helgi and everyone at Myth Adventures for their loss. To a great many people here in the Valley, he was their gateway into comics, TCG & D&D. Helgi is and will always be a LEGEND in the pop culture and collecting community in the RGV and beyond.

Shop is closed today. Enjoy your Sunday ❤️

It breaks my heart today to say that Helgi, Myth’s founder and our grandpa, has died. If you ever met Mr. Helgi Davis, you should consider yourself lucky. He was one of a kind and he was brilliant. For over thirty years, Myth Adventures was his passion. He had the time of his life creating this space. He loved the hard work, because it wasn’t work to him. He was crabby and I loved him for it, it was one of the best parts about him. He cared deeply for his customers and often went out of his way to make sure they got everything they wanted. He could do more work than 5 people combined. His mind was sharp. His personality was charismatic, he was enchanting and silly. He pretended he was annoyed to be on camera but he loved it and he was good at it. He forgave easily. I want you to know that Helgi died with his family by his side. He wasn’t ever alone. He lived a great life with my grandma, his daughter, grandchildren, and friends by his side. Our hearts will carry him with us wherever we go, whatever we do. Myth misses you and will never be the same without you but we will try to make you proud. Grandpa please know we love you very much & the world was better with you in it.

Hey Bookworms! Come meet Anamely Salgado one of our local authors from the RGV. “Paperbacks of My Mother Cursed My Name are out. Thank you to everyone who has read this novel or even just added it to their tbr. And an extra special thanks to those who have told others about it. This story centers on an immigrant family whose matriarch's fear of the government and their power to separate her from her loved ones negatively impacts the way she thinks and acts and taints her relationships with her family for the rest of her life. Community support and understanding is a shining light in her journey. "Home is where the heart is" may sound cliché but it's true for the characters in this story and it's true for people in real life.” ~Anamely Salgado Join us this Thursday June 19th from 5:30-7:00 PM for a short Q & A with the author! Books will be available for purchase. See ya soon, Marty
