Liz Says

LizDecember - hard to believe! Today (Saturday) at The Owl, we have the author of one of my favorite children's Christmas books this year. Jill Hardie will be here from 1-3 PM signing copies of The Sparkle Box, a book which presents a beautiful way for kids to learn about the importance of giving at Christmastime.

The Learned Owl continues its tradition of giving, with our First Book Tree - we will give you 20% off any children's book you buy to donate. The publisher of Chris Van Allsburg's The Polar Express has also partnered with First Book in a most wonderful way. For every new "like" on the publisher's Polar Express-themed Facebook page from now until December 25th, a copy of The Polar Express will be donated to a child in need.

As your schedule gets busier, remember that we will gift-wrap any purchase for free - and deliver within Hudson as long as you give us $2 or three food items, all for the Hudson food pantry.

It's a grand holiday season for books. You can find our holiday catalog here for lots of ideas and our staff picks for 2012 here. If you love thrillers, it is an ESPECIALLY good year with new books from Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, Lee Child, James Patterson, Tom Clancy, Jeff Abbott, and a new name in the game: Michael Sears with Black Fridays (loved by all thriller-reading staff).

This is my last email for the year, and I wish you all a safe and happy December. I haven't sold the store yet, although there are several interested parties... Perhaps the new year will bring good news!

Happy reading,
Liz
