Newsletter Volume 515
| January 17, 2011 |
Greetings!
We recently got a book order from someone who had visited our store during the holiday season. While they found what they were looking for, from the message they found even more. They live far away from Kansas, but shared this message:
"I never realized how much I missed being in a real bookstore."
We love books as much as you do, and we're glad you enjoy shopping at Rainy Day Books, wherever you live. We're always happy to hear from a satisfied customer, and look forward to helping you find something special.
Our author event season continues to grow, more and more names are filling our calendar.
Watch this weekly newsletter and our website for the latest updates.

CONGRATULATIONS to Kansas's own Clare Vanderpool, winner of the 2011 Newbery Medal
The 2011 Newbery Medal winner is Moon over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool, published by Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House Children's Books, a division of Random House, Inc.
The town of Manifest is based on Frontenac, Kan., the home of debut author Clare Vanderpool's maternal grandparents. Vanderpool was inspired to write about what the idea of "home" might look like to a girl who had grown up riding the rails. She lives in Wichita with her husband and four children.
