The cutest little bookstore
you never saw coming
The story behind the stories.
Opened in June 2025, Meant Well Books is a travelling bookstore based in Victoria, BC, Canada.
You can find us at local markets, events, and neighbourhood pop-ups — stocked with a curated mix of fiction, non-fiction, and kids’ books, plus a rotating selection of thoughtful goods, perfect for gifting, souvenir hunting, or just treating yourself.
We’re here for the slow moments, the good finds, the happy accidents, and everything in between.
Follow along — we’re going places
Upcoming events.
We’re popping up all over — from oceanfront markets to cozy neighbourhood corners — with a truck full of books and the occasional candle that smells like optimism and mild chaos.
This calendar’s the best place to find us (unless you have a knack for spotting cute bookmobiles with bad, but well-read, drivers in the wild)
Come browse, linger, chat about stories — or just wave as we mildly panic about parallel parking.
