Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting Millie's Book Ventures, nestled at 3 Mama Ngina St, Nairobi, Kenya. The charm of this little bookshop is truly captivating, and I couldn't wait to explore its offerings. The sun was setting, and I arrived around 4 PM, just in time to enjoy the cozy ambiance.
As I stepped inside, I was greeted by the inviting smell of fresh paper and ink. The shelves were lined with an impressive array of best-selling biographies, motivational books, stationery, diaries, and notebooks. There was something magical about being surrounded by stacks of words waiting to be discovered.
I couldn't resist purchasing “Becoming” by Michelle Obama, which was priced at just KES 1,800. I'd heard so much about this autobiography, and I was excited to dive into it. The checkout process was seamless, thanks to the friendly attendant, Anne, who provided me with valuable insights about the book and shared her favorite quotes from it. Her enthusiasm was infectious!
Aside from biographies, Millie’s also has a delightful selection of motivational books. I stumbled upon “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle, which was on sale for KES 1,500. This book has been highly recommended by several friends, and after hearing Anne’s passionate description, I decided to give it a try. The store also offers an enticing variety of stationery, so I couldn’t help but grab a vibrant notebook priced at KES 600. Anne suggested this particular one because it has a perfect layout for jotting down ideas.
The atmosphere in Millie's was buzzing with excitement, and I could see other customers engrossed in their book choices as well. Many reviews I've read noted how organized and welcoming the space is, and I wholeheartedly agree. It's a perfect getaway for anyone who loves to read or is looking for unique gifts.
As I left the store, I couldn’t help but recommend Millie's Book Ventures to anyone looking for quality books at great prices. The satisfaction of finding such wonderful reads and stationery while receiving excellent service from Anne made my visit memorable. I left with a smile on my face, clutching my newfound treasures.
If you find yourself in the bustling heart of Nairobi and are in need of a literary escape or some stylish stationery, make sure to drop by Millie's Book Ventures. I promise you won’t regret it!
