We’re Rosemary and Bryana — a proud mother-daughter team, and proud Dominican-American, Latina women — bonded not just by blood, but by a deep love of books. For as long as I (Rosemary) can remember, a book was never far from my hand. Family gatherings, school events, quiet afternoons — if there was a chance to read, I took it. Books weren’t just entertainment; they were my escape, my education, my passion.

Years passed, life grew fuller, and I became a mother to five beautiful daughters. Imagine my joy when my eldest, Bryana, discovered she shared the same wild, untamed love for reading — even in a digital world that fights for our attention every second.

In 2024, fueled by our shared obsession and a dream bigger than ourselves, we created Chapter Bound — an online used bookstore built on heart, heritage, and a mission:

To connect great books with great people — at prices everyone can afford. 

We realize not everyone can walk into a store and pay full price for a brand-new book.There are so many preloved stories waiting for a second chance — and we believe in giving them new life, not sending them to a landfill. Every book we offer has a past — and with your help, it finds a future.

Chapter Bound is special to us — not just because we’re doing what we love together, but because we believe the next chapter of any story, any dream, any reader’s journey can begin with a single book.

Your next chapter begins here.
