As usual there's way more to talk about than can fit in an email, so for the rest of it just track me down in the store, at the brewery, or out around town these days during restaurant week! Ah, Summer, SO glad you're here.
Three pieces of BIG NEWS to share, so read on:
| Two Days Only: 25 Cent eBooks from Unbridled Books |
 |
|
What a cool thing: Unbridled Books, a very independent literary publisher, has teamed up with independent booksellers to offer a selection of their titles in Google eBook edition for 25 cents each. You heard it right, 25 cents.
There are 25 titles to choose from, unique gems all. Poke around the offerings and see what appeals. For a quarter you just can't go wrong.

| STARCROSSED: a Young Adult epic set on Nantucket |
|
|
Okay all you Twilight fans (of which we know there are *legions*), here's a book for you. STARCROSSED brings supernatural teen love right to our very own shores.
Picture this: a hot superhuman family moves to the island (a la the Cullens retreating to the Pacific Northwest in Twilight) but this group is not vampires, they are demigods. Oh yes! Clearly this book will also appeal to those Percy Jackson fans in the room that are now a little older (the romance is a touch racy so I'd say it's for ages 13 and up).
How do ancient feuds and godly powers fare here on the island, you ask? Well you'll just have to read the book to find out.
Our own dear Lizzy Skokan wrote a great blog post after she read an advance copy of this book back in March. Check out what she had to say here.

Lastly a quick shout-out to Sarah Teach, a super-enthusiastic young writer at Yesterday's Island, who wrote this glowing piece about us. Her positive energy was absolutely contagious. Thank you to Sarah & to the Daubs for the kind words!
We can't wait to see old friends and new this summer. Come in and tell us what you've been reading. As usual we are packed to the rafters with great new stuff and we can't wait to share it with you.
Cheers,

Elin Hilderbrand's SILVER GIRL - Arriving June 21st! |
|
|
|
Elin's latest will absolutely delight her legions of fans. At the heart of the story is Meredith Delinn, whose husband has just been convicted of massive financial scandal. She's lost everything and everyone except for her oldest childhood friend, a widow whose home in Tom Nevers offers a much needed retreat for the two friends to reconnect with themselves and each other.
The pace is fast, the emotions are spot on, and the moral of the story--if we can go there--is just right for our times. This book rings true on so many levels.
Order up a signed copy or join us JUNE 21st for the launch party! Watch for details.
