We love to support local businesses here at Orlando Mom Collective. Personally, I love to read, so local book stores and authors are close to my heart. I use reading as an escape, a safe place for my overall sanity and mental health. I’m always happy to talk books with you!

Our shop local guide is full of businesses that our moms love. And our guide to local authors was so fun to put together for you. We have collected some of the best local book stores, so next time you are looking to purchase a book for yourself or someone you love, check out a local spot instead of a big box store!

Allison Thommen
Allison Thommen is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist turned stay at home mom to two little girls, Aurora and Aubree. She and her husband have been married since 2015 and had dreamed of living in Orlando since they were in college. They moved from Detroit to Clermont in the summer of 2022. They are Disney World annual passholders and are in the parks almost every week. They are also Disney Vacation Club members, their love for Disney runs deep… did you catch that their first daughter was named after Sleeping Beauty? As a family they also love outer space, so they are excited about being so close to the Space Coast. Allison’s favorite place in the whole world is the beach at the Polynesian Village Resort and could sit there for hours (with a Dole Whip in hand of course). In her free time, Allison loves to read, sew, watch reruns of The Big Bang Theory and binge watch new shows on Netflix! Allison moderates the Orlando Mom Book Club and the Village Facebook groups.
