About Us

Welcome to Heather & Pine!

We are a woman-owned, pop-up bookshop in Lake Zurich, Illinois where we have lived/worked/raised our children for over twenty years, and we want to give back to the community that has shaped our lives by sharing our love of stories.

Amy is a published romance author and children's librarian. Heather is your resident expert on literary fiction and book club picks. Together, we've poured our love of all things bookish into realizing our dream of bringing you the best quality preloved books and discounted new books. We're not brick and mortar yet, but with your support, we will be soon! 

Books mirror our own experiences and identity and also provide windows through which we can view the perspective of others. Books make us curious, teach us empathy, and help us understand the world around us. But also, books are just plain fun to read, and we can't wait to share our favorite authors and stories with you.

Contact us for a private home bookshop party or other business collaborations. 

Wherever your reading journey takes you, Heather & Pine Books would love to be part of your journey.
