About us

Welcome to The Reading Spa

The Reading Spa is a family-founded literary business created by writer and filmmaker Viviane Vives, devoted to preserving the beauty of books, supporting the arts in their purest form, and helping readers rediscover the stories—and editions—they truly love.

We specialize in thoughtfully curated book collections, unique gifts, and reading-inspired sets designed to elevate the experience of reading, relaxing, and giving.

You, your favorite book set… and the spa of your mind.

Alongside our collections, you’ll find a growing selection of reading companions — including incense, gift bags, bookmarks, pouches, and totes — with more to come: candles, pillows, bath trays, slippers, and other small luxuries designed to turn reading into a ritual.

Please note: Our site is continuously evolving — always in the process of becoming more — but fully functional. We invite you to sign up for our newsletter and grow with us.

Our promise:
• Brand New books — always
• Original publisher editions only (no reproductions or substitutions)
• Carefully sourced and curated products from around the world
• Thoughtful packaging and fast shipping
• Real, responsive, and human customer service

We are a small family company, and we care deeply about what we send out into the world. Every order matters.

Our warehouse is located near Austin, Texas, in beautiful Spicewood. If you happen to be heading to Krause Springs, you’re welcome to pick up your order — just reach out and we’ll arrange a time.

We offer a 30-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Simply contact us via chat (bottom right) with any concerns, and we will take care of you.

Thank you for being here.
