Novelist Ann Patchett opened Parnassus Books 14 years ago to answer the need for a local bookstore — and ever since, the independent shop has been a holiday gifting destination filled with literary treasures, books on every subject, and quirky gifts for the whole family. The knowledgeable staff in both the Green Hills storefront and the Nashville International Airport satellite location are ready to guide customers to the perfect book, no matter what they’re looking for.
What are you most excited to recommend as a holiday gift this season?
We have five subscription boxes that cover the latest and greatest reads for all ages! Every month, our staff picks an incredible new title and sends it right to your door. We’ve picked bestsellers, award winners, and modern classics, making our clubs the perfect gift for every reader in your life.

How does Parnassus create a warm, community-driven experience for local readers?
The best thing about being an independent, locally owned business is that we are the community. Everything we do is with our community in mind — from author events to Saturday storytimes to our selection of books by local authors. We provide a personalized, cozy shopping experience that big-box retailers can’t, and we’re honored and humbled that our community recognizes this and continues to show up for us.
Bookish Merch ($15-45)
What special events, signed editions or holiday exclusives should shoppers know about?
We have an online holiday catalog. Our booksellers have compiled their favorite books of the year for all of your book-gifting needs. If you want your gifts curated by real people and not an algorithm, our catalog is the place to go.
