Helping people discover great books and giving back is what we do best

Colleen Hoover is the brains behind the brawn. She is a NYT Bestselling author and the brain child behind The Bookworm Box. She founded The Bookworm Box in 2015 with her family as a way to give back to the humans. Colleen is responsible for telling everyone around here what to do, but rarely tells anyone what to do. She pours her heart into The Bookworm Box, her kids, her writing and her Diet Pepsi addiction. She hates sunshine but loves the ocean. She loves collecting scary things, but hates scary movies. She writes emotional books but has no emotions. She's afraid of extra-terrestrials but doesn't believe in ghosts. At best, Colleen is consistently contradicting.

When you come into the store, you will most likely meet Chele or you won’t because she will be somewhere cleaning.  Chele runs the store, she organizes, cleans, labels, packs and everything else you could possibly imagine that goes into a bookstore + 1000.  She is so dedicated to the store she once even said: ‘I feel horrible when I take a day off because I want to be here.’ Chele has an Associate of Science degree and has always dreamed of running a library. Chele is very, very superstitious and her favorite number is 13.  If you ever see her having a conversation with no one, don’t worry, that is her pet ghost that follows her around.  Chele said this is all we could say about her.

Shanna is the one in the picture with the long blonde hair, even though it’s currently pink.  Her daughter, Gabbie, is with her in the picture.  Gabbie looks mad because her awful mean mommy made her wear something pretty for the picture and Gabbie just wanted no part of it.  When you email The Bookworm Box, Shanna is the one that responds to your email. She is responsible for all things The Bookworm Box, including the boxes, the bookstore, and all the 32.49 ka-jillion things that go into making dreams a reality.  She is the epitome of a Jill of all trades.  Shanna has worked in many different worlds, including software, finance, non-profit and even managing teams all over the globe.  Shanna decided she was ready for something different.  She wanted to do something ‘worth doing’ and joined The Bookworm Box family. So when something goes wrong, be sure and let her have it! She likes nice emails too, but the mean ones make her happiest. You could also just blame Colleen…
