We love this Halloween comic by Tom Gauld for The Guardian! Happy Halloween, friends 🎃

What's your biggest book-related fear?

Happy Halloween, one and all! We had a great time celebrating Samhain this weekend, and we hope you have some spooky fun today too.

If you missed out on the celebration, take a look at the rest of our metaphysical events coming in 2024. Head to aaronsbooks.com/events for our full events calendar.

OMG November is almost here!

We have a few more fun events to keep you busy this month as the weather gets colder and the year winds down.

Let us know when we'll see you next!

In case you missed it, yesterday was National Cat Day (see previous post for reading recommendations).

To keep the celebration going, we thought you might want to see some of our booksellers' cats🐱

Did you know that today is National Cat Day? Here are a few suggestions for readers of all ages to celebrate their furry feline friends 🐱

It's time for new books!

Who's ready for ? It's the perfect time to grab a new book and read in a patch of sun 🌞

It's time to announce more great signed books coming your way! If you're interested in signed books or special editions, make sure to pre-order them at aaronsbooks.com, because quantities are limited and we can't guarantee we'll get more after we sell out.

Best of all, signed books don't cost any more than the regular-old, unsigned version 🎉

One of our Junior Booksellers has some books to tell you about!

Ezri, age 8 recommends The Party Diaries, Ollie and Bea, and Catwings to young readers who love animals, crafts, and magic. Like she says in her review: "how can you resist cats with wings?"

If you haven't already heard of the Dream Harbor series, where have you been???

Gilmore Girls inspired. Bookseller admired.

Dream Harbor is a small town with all of the cozy comfort one could ever ask for. Each book highlights a new set of characters, and we explore their journey as they find themselves and of course, love.

If you’re looking for the perfect seasonal read, then this series is meant for you.

Spice scale: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
