We are lovers of stories. We are sharers of tales. We finish a good Book and we are pressing it into the hands of a like-minded friend. The more we read, the more we discover new favorites to pass on to family to begin a new conversation with them. The shelves are brimming with opportunities to rekindle a spark, to refresh a tired spirit or to reconfigure a new phase in life. With all of the bustling, take a moment to replenish with the written word. We look forward to making recommendations and helping you find just the right book to give this holiday season." ~ From the E-Newsletter sent by our friends at Books & Company, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin ________________________________________________ Join Rainy Day Books on Monday, December 09, 2013 at 7:00 PM at AMC Studio 30, 12075 S Strang Line Road, Olathe, Kansas 66062 for a Special Advance Screening of: To download your FREE Advance Screening Passes, click on the following link: http://l.gofobo.us/Dcx57OM9 Passes are First-Come, First Served.
