It's not a next meeting at the bookstore, it's a question about deciding a certain day to go so we go on the same day and get to meet up.

The phrasal form (with "on") is used rarely. It does not add much in the way of meaning.
Compare:
Let's meet at the bookstore.
Let's meet up at the bookstore.
They mean the same thing, but "meet up" gives the idea of being casual and relaxed.
