!! What's New !!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Ghost Lover by Lisa Taddeo​​​​​​​​
Haunting ~ Vibrant ~ Raw​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
"In these nine riveting stories...Lisa Taddeo brings to life the fever of obsession, the blindness of love, and the mania of grief. Featuring Taddeo's arresting prose that continues to thrill her legions of fans, Ghost Lover dares you to look away."​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Lisa Taddeo does it yet again! She writes the stories that teeter on the line of vulgarity and ruthlessness. When society exclaims: "no, you can't do this, that's wrong”, she dives headfirst into the incorrectness and catapults herself over the line anyway, saying F* this society. She writes the stories and wonderments that we all think throughout life with such raw emotion and heart. I dare you to not find a story you can relate to!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you like Charles Bukowski or Joan Didion or Clarice Lispector then you will enjoy this collection as well.

A HUGE shoutout goes to for his generous heart! Brian Lebeau, author of "A Disturbing Nature", held a contest and was one of four Indie Bookstores to win! 🙌​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The generous gift will go to creating the new Community Board space in our new home and community programming for 2023.

Starting Wednesday off Happy! ❤ ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What book is bringing you happiness today?

We got the Keys to our New Home!!! 🙌​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Stayed tuned & Join Us on this adventure of building a new Bookshop ~ We will be moving just next door of our temporary space:​​​​​​​​

“As a self-proclaimed Greek mythology/retellings buff, I immediately was drawn to The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper. I love when stories can connect you to different time periods and offer new perspectives. After seeing the cover (yes I am guilty of judging books by their covers once in a blue moon) and opening the book, I flew through it in 4 days. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is a historical novel set in Pompeii and follows the life of a pr******te named Amara. She was sold into slavery by her mother after the death of her father and was brought to work in an infamous Pompeii brothel. During the day she is forced to fish for customers and endure their abuse alongside the other “she-wolves,” but Amara is focused on securing her freedom - just at what cost?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It is the first of a trilogy that unveils the lives of women in Ancient Pompeii. #1 London Times Bestseller and so popular in the UK that it was reprinted in the US!” -Emily

We are CLOSED today to celebrate the sun & fun with friends & family - hope you are enjoying as well and can't wait to see you tomorrow at 10am. 🌭 🎇
