If you come to the party we will get you a cupcake (or other baked good) from every* bakery downtown.
*there are seven within walking distance, if you include the place that is mostly cookies and cinnamon rolls (which you should), and one is fully gluten free!
Well then never mind! We would never bend our self-imposed guidelines because an author we love put out something that sounds incredibly cool and we wanted people to talk about it with. Nope.
A very fluffy brown and white dog, laying on his back and looking at the camera (if he were a human he would have the most incredible double-chin doe to the angle) with an expression of horror and confusion.
Just spent all morning tearing through @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social 's THE GRIMOIRE GRAMMAR SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER ASSOCATION. Snipped out a couple of quotes for a friend with a 5yo. What an enjoyable read - I can't remember who recommended it, but if it was you, thank you!
In a time of book bannings, AI, and decreased library funding, the best thing you can do to support books is be very, very loud about them. @mollytempleton.com on how we can help the authors we love:
What if the Wendig apples contain an exciting* new bug friend?
*possibly horrifying, given the nature of that particular varietal of apple
LESSONS IN MAGIC AND DISASTER as one of our fantasy book club picks last year and it was loved by the whole group.
Plus, AUTOMATIC NOODLE has been a staff favorite since its release!

If you see us next year, talking about how we usually try to do standalone titles for our book clubs but we needed to make an exception, this book is probably why.
This is why we have customer review cards! As a local indie bookstore, we want to share what our community thinks of a book. This helps other locals find new authors and helps our buyers order more of the books our community enjoys!
As a bookstore with a dog, we approve.
It’s Small Business Saturday!
#BookSky, which indie bookstores are you shopping at today?
❤️📚
Psst…if they have, try Vanishing Treasures by Katherine Rundell.
This is a @tamorapierce.bsky.social book.
Anything by Ben Macintyre or @praddenkeefe.bsky.social.
Nosotros Means Us, How Do You Roll Your R’s?, Crocodiles Everywhere, and Waiting for the Biblioburro are some of our newer favorites.
Also, there are new bilingual Eric Carle books pretty much every year!
Can we join the “Read CRY, VOIDBRINGER” drum line?
It is an engulfing story that unflinchingly examines the brutality oppression breeds; an excellent choice for adult fans of Sabaa Tahir’s Ember in the Ashes series.
100%, that’s why there are so many!
These are excellent goals for readers of any age!
Plus, we give better recommendations than any algorithm could so it’s a win-win!
Today is the start of our Romeow Memorial Sale!
That means 20% off of all in-store purchases from 11/13 - 11/15, a perfect way to stock up on holidays gifts (and maybe some books for yourself, we won’t tell) while supporting your local indie bookstore. If you are in the area, stop by!

Hello! We’re glad you enjoyed our store!
Will do. Thank you!
We are an independent bookstore in Grass Valley, California!
While we are mostly a general bookstore, one of our best features is probably our kids section, complete with a Kid Cave.
We host three monthly book clubs, along with other events which you can find on our website (link in bio).
We are getting ready for what will hopefully be a busy holiday season, starting with our downtown’s annual Holiday Open House on 11/15!
(Plus, we have some exciting things planned for Small Business Saturday.)
We know nothing about needy dogs.
We will come bearing books! Thank you!!!

As booksellers, we believe all literary opinions are valid.
Time to test that belief.
Reminder that Choose Your Own Adventure, our silent book club, is meeting today at 6pm at Three Forks in Nevada City!
Bring a book, grab a drink or some tasty food, and hang out with fellow book people.
