Join us at Mitchell's Book Corner Tuesday morning at 10am-11:30am for the launch of Nancy Thayer's latest novel."Island Girls" - celebrate with us.

New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer returns to her beloved Nantucket in a highly emotional, wholly entertaining tale of three sisters forced to confront the past over one event-filled summer on the island.

"Nancy Thayer is one of my favorite writers, and Island Girls is one of her best. The Randall sisters are like your own family members or your best friends: funny, smart and emotional, infuriating and good-hearted. Here is a book to be savored and passed on to the good women in your life."-New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs

Join us at Mitchell's on June 25th 10am-11:30am to celebrate the launch date of Elin's latest Nantucket-based novel "Beautiful Day."

A summer wedding stirs up trouble on both sides of the family in this new novel from bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand. This latest novel has everything Elin's fans have come to love about her books.

Kirkus calls Beautiful Day "A wedding readers won't be able to resist crashing" and we agree!

Thank you to Nathaniel Philbrick for coming in to sign stock after a hectic book tour! Call 508-228-1080 for up-to-date details on signed copies.

In a great feat of buying, we were able to acquire a limited quantity of the Maria Mitchell biography "Maria Mitchell and the Sexing of Science", by Renee Bergland, at great savings.

We love Amy Brill's fictionalization of Maria Mitchell's life, and we know it will lead curious minds to want to know more about the woman behind the story. Please take this opportunity to have a both a wonderfully entertaining story and an educational journey.

Right now, get BOTH hardcovers for the combined price of $30.00. (That's almost half off.)

This spring Mitchell's was proud to add Melissa Morrissett--host of WACK 97.7 radio's "Music from the 228" local music show--to our team. That inspired our new display of local cd's - stop in and grab a new or old treasure! If you're a local musician with a cd we may not have in stock, please get in touch. Rock on.

We never post enough pictures of the great sidelines at Bookworks, and this year is better than ever thanks to Suzanne Bennett's care and attention! We love these super cool Nantucket rings... sorry to say you'll have to call to order. It would be just TOO big a pain in the wazzoo to post all those items on the website. ;-)

We know we don't email enough... To really stay in touch, "Like" Nantucket Bookworks and Mitchell's Book Corner on Facebook, follow @wendyhudson, @nantucketbooks, and @Mitchells_MBC on Twitter, and follow @wendyhudson and @nantucketbookpartners on Instagram.

Then again, you could just read a book and come chat with us about it. Most of our staff are in this camp and will welcome you!

Thanks as always and happy summer. -Wendy H.
