This is the team helping you find just the right book for every reader, whether that’s from an online order, in person, or over the phone. You’ve kept us busy! The phone has been ringing off the hook, so it belonged in the group photo too. Thank you for your business and support! It’s been difficult but we’re proud of the books we’ve put into your hands. - Keebe, Juliana, Johanna, Pete, and Billy Not pictured: our fantastic receiver Nancy who also works at @dovecote_nest_sprout, and our holiday helpers Gilda & Hazel who helped keep us sane this week and last weekend. #McIntyresBooks #FearringtonVillage #BooksellerLife #ShopLocal #ShopIndie #IndependentBookstore

Back in stock! Wintering: the Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May “Wintering is every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. Katherine May thoughtfully examines the emotional, spiritual, and geographical reality of the cold times, the dark days, and those periods of our lives when things are neither soft nor easy. I’m so doing, she offers a great and humane service to her readers: she shows us that wintering cannot be avoided, but need not be feared. This is truly a beautiful book.” — Elizabeth Gilbert We’re turning this feed into our virtual display space! These are books and gifts we have IN STOCK now.

He is a beautiful writer, full of surprises, and his latest masterful collection, If I Had Two Wings, is a mesmerizing showcase of his many talents.
