Inventory is done and we are excited to see you again on Saturday! The team all agreed that there is something oddly satisfying about doing inventory. We've organized and counted all of the books, and they are ready for you to find your next favorite! We're open Saturday from 10 to 5. 📚📚📚📚

📚Searching for Sylvie Lee by Jean Kwok: A deeply moving story of family, secrets, identity, and longing. This is a page-turner and a sensitive portrait of an immigrant family. Kwok’s story combines old-fashioned Nancy Drew sleuthing with the warmth and heart we’ve come to expect from this gifted writer.

📚Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult: Diana seems to have it all: she’s climbing the professional ladder in the competitive art auction world, her surgical resident boyfriend is about to propose, and she’s all set to take off on a romantic 30th birthday trip to the Galapagos. Then, the pandemic hits. Diana is suddenly stranded, alone, on her dream vacation. Based on a true story of a traveler stranded on a remote island, Wish You Were Here is an early addition to books trying to make sense of life in 2020, and beyond.

📚Saving Ruby King by Catherine Adel West: An unforgettable debut novel, Saving Ruby King is a powerful testament that history doesn’t determine the present and the bonds of friendship can forever shape the future. When Ruby King’s mother is found murdered in their home in Chicago’s South Side, the police dismiss it as another act of violence in their neighborhood. Ruby is faced with a devastating loss that leaves her on her own with her violent father. Her best friend, Layla, is the only one who understands how this puts Ruby in jeopardy. The structure of overlapping points of view not only holds your attention but also enables us to see how each character is connected.

‼️Friendly reminder, we will be closed thru Friday 1/21 so that our team can do inventory. We will open our doors back up again on Saturday 1/22.

So many great choices on this New Release Tuesday!

So many great choices on this New Release Tuesday! I'm going to start with The Paris Bookseller. When bookish young American Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris in 1919, she has no idea that she and her new bookstore will change the course of literature itself. Historical Fiction 📚
