 Thank you for telling your friends and family about us!

March 2013

books   Greetings!       

 

    Did you know we receive thousands of books each month and put new books on our shelves every day?  Many times we will shelve a whole series by one author or a brand new author (to our store).  It pays to shop with us frequently for the best selection.  

 
   Ifyou are looking for a specific book we can help!  Put your request on a WISHLIST by simply calling, emailing or stopping by the store.  We help you watch for it and call you when it comes in.  There is no charge for this service.
  
   Can't wait?  We can order any book for you.  It usually takes about 2 weeks, but you will know it is coming!  How much does it cost?  We charge you whatever the bookseller is charging for the book and for shipping.  We do not add a percentage!  We simply charge you a flat fee of $4.  Last year we ordered over 100 books for customers just like you.  It's a great service.

     The Rest of the Story...
   
   I heard a great story from one of our customers and  I want to share it with you:  Last summer our customer took a car trip from New England to South Carolina with her 25 year old daughter.  It was her job to read Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" while her daughter drove.  She said they didn't get much visiting done because her daughter would say "Read, Mom!".   When her daughter's birthday was coming up, she asked her Mom to give her copies of books she had read and loved as a girl.  Doesn't it just make you smile?  
   Going on your own car trip? We have copies of Diana Gabaldon's books in the store. This series is set in Scotland in the 1700's.  We also have a good selection of audio books.  I'll be taking one of those along on my trip to Arizona in April.
    Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres.  I never was much of a history buff, so it's an easy way to learn about cultures, society structures and politics while being entertained with characters and plots. Some of my favorites are Philippa Gregory, Bernard Cornwell and Alison Weir.  I also enjoy mysteries set in periods in history.  Good examples are Anne Perry's William Monk series, Dianne Day's Fremont Jones series and Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael series. 
   If you, like me, enjoy historical period stories, please ask for suggestions.  We are always ready to help.                                                               Happy Reading     ---Gayle

Author of the Month
from Gayle's Reading List

 

Ann Patchett

   A few weeks ago I heard an NPR interview with Ann Patchett introducing her new book "State of Wonder" about a woman who travels to the Amazon to find a colleague.  This interview reminded me of how much I enjoy Patchett's writing. 

  Patchett is the author of five books, including an all time favorite "Bel Canto" and "Run" which I am reading now.  

   About a year ago, Patchett hit the front pages when she and a colleague opened an independent bookstore in Nashville, TN.  Big news in this age of technology.  See more at www.parnassusbooks.net

    In the meantime, we have a limited supply of her books in stock.  Call for titles and availability.
