Tucked away on the Ground floor of The Gardens Mall is this 2,000 sqft haven that has been designed for women to chill — away from any disturbances and responsibilities of the day.
As you enter, you’ll be greeted with shelves upon shelves of paperbacks and hardbacks, as well as seating areas where you can relax.
There’s a wide selection of books, from Young Adult to Fiction and even a section for children’s storybooks.
While some have been receptive of it, several have questioned the necessity for a bookstore to be a female-only space when it should be open for both men and women.
The countering opinion is that women should feel safe when shopping and this space allows that.
Some retorted that if you want to shop with a partner, there are other BookXcess outlets to visit instead.
