Quick Links
Greetings!
Howdy, fellow booklover.  We've had our noses buried in so many good books, been celebrating the afterglow from Bookstore Day, and scheming so many fine author events that we haven't written in a while.

In today's newsletter we offer: 
  • our May Book of the Month, guaranteed to please;
  • upcoming author events; and
  • some links to recap the fun of Bookstore Day. 
We DO still have many of the unique Bookstore Day items in stock at both stores, so it's not too late.

And remember: you can read digitally and shop locally.  Our partnership with Kobo allows you to read eBooks on any device (except Kindle).  Sign up here and Green Apple will forever get a cut of your eBook purchases.  

 

Read on!
 May's Book of the Month 
Each month, we present THE book we are most passionate about.  Yep; we guarantee it!  This month's pick is presented by Green Appler Anna.

Rad American Women by Kate Schatz and Miriam Klein Stahl (City Lights Books)
  

A is for awe, which is what I feel reading about these women: Angela, Billie Jean, Carol, Dolores, Ella - women who have changed and inspired the world. Awe as in awesome, which is what this book is, what these women are. Awesome as in rad, the root of radical. It's radical that this book exists: not only because we need a feminist primer for children that cuts across race, class, and gender politics, but because it's cool. Cool, as in: this isn't just a book for kids, it's a book I want to gift to my mom, to all my friends. Rad American Women is as fun as it is informative, as approachable as it is inspiring.- Anna

  Bookstore Day memories

California Bookstore Day was May 2, and we had a blast.  Thanks to the hundreds of customers who dropped by to join the fun, wish us well, and share a beer with our booksellers. 

 

We ordered aggressively, so we do still have many of the collectible books and word-based art produced just for indies, they're all here, and they include works by Roxanne Gay, Christopher Moore, Chris Ware, Margaret Atwood, Mary Roach, Stephen King, Allie Brosh, Sherman Alexie, and more.  

 

Some beautiful, fun, and inspiring images came out of the day, too, like: 

 

Litography's session at Books on the Park 

 

 

 

 

the photo booth at Books on the Park

 

 

 

 

and, of course, on Green Apple's Instagram feed

 

 

 

We can't wait for Bookstore Day 2016!

Thanks for reading.
 
Sincerely,
