Books to love, and a place to read them.

ButterflyReads brings together two halves of one idea.

The store. A book is loved, argued with, maybe even cried over. Then the last page turns, and it waits on a shelf. We think it deserves another journey. So we hand-pick preloved books, from bestsellers to overlooked gems, giving each one the chance to find its next reader.

The Reading Room. Picture a calm space lined with bookshelves, a seat for the day, and the gentle hush of other readers turning pages. A place to step away from screens and the noise of everyday life, without feeling you have to be anywhere else. The peace of a library, with the small charms of a bookstore. That is the room we are creating.

If you are a writer like me, I hope you will find that the quiet setting, surrounded by books, offers you the time and space to create.

The waitlist is open.

Whether a book arrives at your door or a chair awaits you at the Reading Room, the thought is the same: every book deserves another reader, and every reader deserves somewhere to discover their next favorite.

We’re starting small, in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. The best way to hear when we open near you is to join the Reading Room waitlist.

If there is a title you would love to see on our shelves, or you have a question, write to me at [email protected].

Happy reading,

Jayshree
