It Started with a Mom

and her post partum.

Aurelia's Nook began with me (Billy) picking up "Carnal Urges" by J.T. Geissinger at a bookstore one day while I was in my lowest during post partum with my son. Since then, I began reading again (thanks to Declan in the book) and realized there's more to this- there's a community. I began talking books with my friends, networking, and researching how to open a bookshop. Then in May 2025, I officially opened The Nook! What started with a chance to read again led to a small community that has healed me since then. This shop is dedicated to the women who are looking for inclusion and diversity, and to the moms who need a spicy book in her life while tackling so much during the day. This is for you, our spicy mamacitas and mamis.
