Our newest blog is up, featuring “Expiration Dates” by @RebeccaSerle (author of “One Italian Summer”)!! Lori loved this book about fate versus choosing to live life your way and shares why in her post on our website.

If you need something dark and atmospheric for the overcast days we’ve been having, we have a recommendation for you! “Where the Dark Stands Still” is a Polish-inspired retelling of Beauty and the Beast, and Lori adored it. You can read more on our website.

One of the perks of being a bookseller? Sometimes you get to go to a group dinner with an author you really love!

Lori got to go to one last year with the amazing Kristin Hannah! Check out our latest post on our website for her thoughts on both “The Women” and the dinner.

Lori just posted a magical write-up to our blog about a new YA historical fantasy that we adored! “A Fragile Enchantment” by Allison Saft is the perfect read to transport you somewhere else during these rainy days.
