Best of All Worlds by Kenneth Oppel (hardcover)

Best of All Worlds by Kenneth Oppel (hardcover)

Fresh out today (for those in the know, Tuesday is the day for all new releases!):

Signed copies of Flashlight! A time-spanning drama about a family adrift after great loss

Best of All Worlds: a keep-you-guessing pick rife with social dread that reminds me of Bradbury in the best way.

Coming out on Tuesday, 6/3:

This deluxe edition of The Ghostwriter is really something to see. Amazing work.

Best of All Worlds is a novel that will chuck your brain around like The Matrix. Heather read it, was impressed. One to read!

Baby Sees - high contrasts align with sight development :)

Cat fiction and the guiltiest cat finger puppets

Cat fiction and the guiltiest cat finger puppets

Sharing a little book love with cats today. They save our libraries, and maybe our sanities. They enrich our lives and enclosures, if not our wallets (why did you eat that string?).

We have finger puppets to enhance storytelling - they all look a tad guilty. :) Perfect. #books #cats πŸ’™πŸ“š

Shelf of cozy read titles! Newly gathered :)

Shelf of cozy read titles! Newly gathered :)

A bookseller on a rainy day: what does she do? She finally makes a mini β€œcozy reads” section β€” but Relaxing Reads is alliterative and I can’t give up that kind of pun.

What makes something β€œcozy” is different for everyone, which is why it’s good to ask us. ;) But this is a fun start!
