Lots to Celebrate
The first Tuesday of every month is always a big day for new releases--our shelves are overflowing with so many great new titles. Before we dive in, we wanted to give a big shout out to everyone who celebrated Independent Bookstore Day with us, near & far! We say it all the time, but we've really got the BEST community of book-lovers you could ever ask for. Thank you!
Now let's get on with the show...
