Curated Selection
At Sprawling Stories, we believe the best books don't just tell stories—they make you feel something. Whether you're exploring enchanted kingdoms, falling for reluctant heroes, or cheering for happily-ever-afters, our shelves are filled with stories that inspire wonder, hope, and connection. We thoughtfully curate fantasy, romantasy, contemporary romance, and indie authors to create a bookstore experience where every reader can find a world worth getting lost in.
Reader Centric Approach
Designed as a visually immersive pop-up experience, the Sprawling Stories booth combines warm lighting, layered textures, and curated displays intended to evoke the feeling of stepping into a fantasy world. Readers will be encouraged to browse by trope, mood, and emotional experience rather than simply title or genre.
Tailored Book Suggestions
Founded by Spokane-based author and avid reader Rhiannon Kay, Sprawling Stories was inspired by a love of stories that sweep readers away—whether through enchanted kingdoms or unforgettable love stories set in the real world. Influenced by the rise of BookTok and today's passionate reading communities, the bookstore celebrates romantasy, fantasy, and contemporary romance through thoughtfully curated collections and immersive pop-up experiences. With touches of gothic elegance, cozy romance, and literary charm, Sprawling Stories invites readers to discover books in a way that feels personal, memorable, and deeply immersive.
Celebrating the Love of Stories
A new kind of bookstore is arriving in Spokane this summer—one designed not just to sell books, but to immerse readers in the worlds they love most.
Sprawling Stories is a traveling fantasy & romance bookstore specializing in romantasy, contemporary romance, fantasy, and indie literature, and is preparing to launch its first season of pop-up events throughout the Spokane area beginning June 2026.
Combining curated inventory with atmospheric design and interactive shopping experiences, the bookstore offers readers a unique alternative to traditional bookselling.
