Freedom Playlist

I wanted to throw a Midnight Release Party for FREEDOM, but I’m pretty sure I’d be the only one at the party. So instead, I made a play list to celebrate Freedom Release Day. I love this book so much I’m making it a mix tape.

What to Read After Freedom This Fall

Friday, September 24th at 7 PM, we’re going to Kakao Chocolate to talk about the great new books coming out this fall, because there are some unbelievably great books that you don’t want to miss.  Kakao will have plenty of tasty treats, and I’ll be bringing advanced copies of the new books to give away, and we’ll plenty of copies of everything if you spot something you know you’re going to love, or want to give as a gift or take to your book club.

This was a really popular event last year, so we’re doing one in September for the new fall books, and we’ll do another in November to talk about the books that would make great gifts for adults as well as kids. Join us!

Full Disclosure

When your kid posts this on Facebook, we will copy and paste it onto a shelftalker and hang it in the shop.

“Loves “Shiver” by Maggie Stiefvater. Read it. It’s the kind of mystery books I love, and Twihards and Twihaters will cherish it. I am so buying “Linger”, the sequel. I polished it off in one night after babysitting. I polish off books I love in mostly one night, but the Book Thief was two. Take that, Nikki Furrer.”

Exploit underage children for our own benefit? You betcha.  Come here, little girl.
