Just Down the Road: 3 Favorite Bookstores Near Odessa, TX

1. Ye Old Bookworm

Located at 517 N Grant Ave, this family-run shop is one of our favorite places to purchase affordable, gently-used books. There are both paperback and hardcover books in stock, all of which are in such good condition that you’ll hardly be able to tell that they’ve been previously owned. We love browsing the shelves for a book or two, or just having a friendly conversation with staff or other shoppers.

One of the best things about Ye Old Bookworm is their dedication to providing customers with out-of-print and hard to find books. If there’s a specific title that you haven’t been able to find anywhere else, this might just be the place for you!

2. Camino Bookstore

If you’re a Spanish speaker or a language learner, this store could be perfect for you! Located at 903 S County Rd W, this little shop has a wide selection of books written in Spanish. If you’re interested in learning more about diverse, Spanish-speaking cultures, picking up a novel or two at Camino is a great place to start.

3. The HIVE Comics and Table Top Games

We love traditional books, but there’s something about comic books that just zips us back to childhood, lying in bed in Spiderman pajamas, poring over pages of superheroes and villains. If you understand the feeling, then you know why The Hive is such a fun place to stop by. You can find this gem of a store at 3615 N Dixie Blvd, and don’t forget to bring the kids, because they’re going to love it just as much as you do.

In addition to comics, you can find a plethora of games, including cards from Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh. There are also supplies for your Dungeons and Dragons campaign, including dice and tables so that you can play in the store itself. When it comes to comics and gaming, The Hive cuts no corners.

Those are a few of our picks for the best places to buy books in town, but we want to know your favorites, too! Come visit us at Kelly Grimsley Kia to tell us your favorite bookstores, and while you’re here, we can help you find the perfect new or used Kia.
