Come and choose yours early!

Thank you to all who joined us [and joined in!] at the Mockingjay: The Final Book of the Hunger Games release party Monday night/Tuesday morning! Skills were tested, tributes were dressed, prizes were won! And most importantly, we now have copies of the actual book!! Don't be the last to find out what happens to Katniss Everdeen and her friends -- we have plenty of copies left. Click here for a book trailer! We will post a few photos on our Facebook page as soon as we recover from being up so late! And please share your photos if you wish -- we saw more than one iPhone snapping photos!

The big Edmonds Museum Summer Market is still here! Saturdays through October 2nd, 9a - 3p. Sponsored by the Edmonds Museum. We will see you, with your fresh veggies and flowers, there!

Let us help, with what we are sure is the main question on your mind: Whatever will you read in what is left of your summer?

Was reading a classic one of your resolutions at the beginning of this year? Well, how about To Kill a Mockingbird? Huge congratulations to Harper Lee on the 50th anniversary of the publication of this American classic. [web person's personal note: my mom and dad and I have all re-read this in the last couple of months -- really great book! There is a reason this is a classic. We all highly recommend it!]

The Seattle Public Library will join communities around the country to pay tribute to this classic novel. Saturday, September 25, 2010. 2pm. Microsoft Auditorium at the Central Library. The event will include remarks from local author/actor Stephanie Kallos, an excerpt from "Scout, Atticus and Boo," a documentary by Mary Murphy, and a complete screening of the classic 1962 film of "To Kill a Mockingbird." For more information check the library web site.

We've got a new page on our web site! Book news. We will gather together all sorts of book-related news, that we think is interesting, and share it with all of you! New releases, paperback or hardcover; new reviews of books that we like, too; movies; book awards; you get the idea! Check it out and let us know what else you may want to know about!
