  • Our bookseller Elizabeth enjoyed a sunny afternoon absorbed in Elizabeth Wetmore's debut novel, "Valentine", "A thrilling debut that deserves your attention." –Ron Charles, the Washington Post. It certainly held our bookseller's attention! You can purchase your very own copy of "Valentine" here (cut and paste the link): https://www.thebookstall.com/book/9780062913265 “A thrilling debut. . . . Like Miriam Toews’ Women Talking, Valentine is a story about how women—particularly women without much education or money—negotiate a culture of masculine brutality. This is the story of their lives in a backwater oil town in the mid-1970s, which Wetmore seems to know with empathy so deep it aches. . . . Carefully wrought and emotionally compelling.” — Washington Post "A monument to a sort of singular grace, and true grit." — Entertainment Weekly #indiebookstore #amreading #books #booklover #bookworm #bookstagram #pandemicreading #stayhomeandread @harpercollins @elizabethwetmore

  • 10-Second Book Review by Kara: "Even the Terrible Things Seem Beautiful To Me Now" by Mary Smich Beautifully written, thoughtful, profound... I picked up this collection of essays by Mary Schmich initially, because I was having a hard time reading during the Covid Crisis. (Shorter attention span, anyone)? Wow. Not for nothing did this Tribune writer win the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. Columns like "Panic is my Muse," "The Need to Get Away" and "Who Stole my Mother" seem to be written for the time we are living in. Pick-up the new 2nd edition and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend. Buy it from us through this link (cut and paste): https://www.thebookstall.com/book/9781572842809
