Beth Quarles, Owner

Beth began Paper Hearts with her dear pal, Adrienne. After working together at the same non-profit and talking about books before every meeting for nearly four years, they decided that swooning over books and making new bookish friends was all they ever wanted to do. Beth became sole owner in May 2022, but you are likely to still see Adrienne at pop-ups and book club as the love never dies. Beth has a deep love for nonfiction and children’s literature. She does devour fiction through when she needs a little escapism. Beth carefully curates a collection of books that captures diversity, imagination, and brings a smile to each reader’s face. Outside of Paper Hearts,Beth is always plotting ways to go back to school for yet another degree, planning some great travel adventure, or searching for the best food in whatever city she is in. She contains multitudes.
