Yes, matchmaker matchmaker, we'll make you a match. As you might have seen on our blog, the matchmaking bulletin board is up and ready to find you a date. Just list the books you love, the books you hate, and your contact information, and wait for your literary soulmate to email. (Or, if you're feeling bold, email someone yourself!)


Our biggest announcement this month is that we're starting a new program here at WORD. From now on, whenever you pre-order and pre-pay for a book before its release date, we'll give you 10% off the cover price. Big fan of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? Well, pre-order its follow-up, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, anytime up to a week before the release date on September 15, and get 10% off. (Not sure if you'd like Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters? Check out this hilarious book trailer, it'll probably change your mind.)


But it's not just literary mash-ups that you can get the discount on. There are a ton of new books from beloved authors coming out this fall, including:

Her Fearful Symmetry, by Audrey Niffenegger, author of one of Christine's all-time favorites, The Time Traveler's Wife. It comes out September 29, so order it by September 22.








Chronic City, by Jonathan Lethem, who seems to be one of the most beloved authors of WORD customers. Early readers of this book have loved it, saying that it does for Manhattan what Motherless Brooklyn did for our fair borough. Comes out October 13--order by October 6!







The Children's Book, by A. S. Byatt, author of the obsession-making Possession. If you pre-order it by September 29, it'll be in your hot little hands October 6!





And this just barely skims the surface of the big names releasing new books this fall; there's also Margaret Atwood (Year of the Flood, September 22), John Irving (Last Night in Twisted River, October 27), Dave Eggers' re-telling of Where the Wild Things Are (The Wild Things, October 1), Lorrie Moore (A Gate at the Stairs, September 1). The sequel to Suzanne Collins' thrilling The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, comes out September 1. And, of course, Dan Brown of The DaVinci Code fame will finally release his newest book, The Lost Symbol, September 15. So make sure there's one waiting for you behind the counter at WORD! Pre-order, pre-pay, and get 10% off. You can order in-store, call us at 718 383 0096 and do it over the phone, or email orders@wordbrooklyn.com.
