Sally Bradshaw - Owner and mystery lover!

Sally Bradshaw opened Midtown Reader in 2016 in response to the dumbing down of America as manifested by the overuse of the exclamation mark (just joking!)  Our bookstore is the realization of a lifelong dream.  You can find Sally in the mystery, thriller, Southern gothic, or non-fiction-that- reads-like-fiction sections.

Kristin Kehl: Manager, Fearless Leader, Poetry Buff, Literary Fiction

Kristin is the General Manager of Midtown Reader, a poet who says some delightfully unpoetic things, and an extremely (un)reliable narrator. She's also a Tallahassee local, an FSU English alumna, and a recovering barista. She cannot make up her mind about what she is partial to, but others will say it is poetry, literary fiction, and any book worth banning.

Caylee Wilson is our Events and Marketing Director who handles all things events, authors, and marketing. She is a lover of Marvel, horror movies (and books), her tail-less cat Kody, and Gooseberry! You can often find her reading or watching Criminal Minds and maybe working out. Fun fact: Caylee comes from a big family with over ten siblings!

Hannah is a very mysterious bookseller. It's said she lives with several cats. And oh! You like her pants? She made those! Anyway, if you were stuck in the faerie realm, there's no bookseller better equipped to help get you out.

Zoe's life revolves around her sixteen-year-old poodle, Bridgette, and makes occasional side trips to journal existential ramblings and crochet chunky sweaters. She loves self-help and a good (i.e., tense) enemies-to-lovers.
