a matchmaker creates connections
our passion is connecting you with your next read. because we’re book people.
And book people never keep their favorites to themselves! We can’t wait to welcome you in so you can discover what we have to offer firsthand.
A little about us
at matchmaker bookshop, we believe reading is unequivocally good.
No matter what you like to read, reading itself is a very good thing. Books can take you on adventures without leaving your favorite chair. They can introduce you to new and diverse perspectives, or welcome you home like an old friend. They can answer the questions you’ve been asking, or raise ones you’ve never considered.
Reading may seem like a solitary pastime, but a love of books thrives in a collective. Matchmaker Bookshop is a place to browse, linger, and engage with other bibliophiles. Welcome to your new “third space.”
Lauren CardicK, Owner
Lauren lives in Highland Park with her husband, two darling boys, and a Cavalier named Bess. She loves to throw parties for family and friends and can’t resist starting a craft project. She’s never met a book she doesn’t finish. She’s a Libra sun (with strong Virgo energy), and like every millennial woman of a certain age, has wanted her own library ladder since she first saw Beauty and the Beast.
