Mississippi’s literary history might be most tied to Oxford, but don’t let that reputation fool you into thinking there’s not literary fun to be found all over the state. If you’re never one to pass up a bookstore during your travels, here’s where you’ll want to stop when making your way through Mississippi.

Situated in Pass Christian, Mississippi, this bookstore overlooks the Gulf of Mexico and features an entire second floor dedicated to Mississippi writers and related subjects. Stop by to browse, grab a cup of coffee and take in the ocean views.
The Bookstore in the Window is located in Laurel, Mississippi, which you may know from HGTV’s Home Town. This charming indie bookstore allows you to trade in two books you’re done with for one new one, an arrangement many bookworms with too many books and not enough shelves could likely get behind.
Of course, any literary explorations in Mississippi do have to include Oxford. There, you’ll find Square Books, situated on the town square and stretched across three buildings packed with books.

In Greenwood, Mississippi, Turnrow Book Co. is the place to go for literary events in the Delta, including signings. While many bookstores boast an on-site cafe, this particular bookstore’s cafe also serves beer, in case that’s your reading drink of choice.
