Salutations!
For the third
consecutive year, Loganberry Books helps celebrate
World Vegetarian Month by teaming up with a local restaurant
and
by offering 10% off all cookbooks. This year, we are pleased
to introduce a brand-new cafe right across the street from us,
specializing in Japanese and British cuisine. Flying Cranes Cafe will
have traditional British tea, sandwiches and take-out food, as well as
Japanese specialties and dining in their charming new cafe. In
celebration of their opening, Loganberry Books will offer 10% coupons
to Flying Cranes, and vice-versa, during the month of October. They're
not open quite yet, but word is they're aiming for October first!

Reflections II
Thursday, October 4, 6-8pm
~
first Thursdays ~
Lori Molesky holds the sales record for Annex Gallery exhibitions, so
if you missed her premier showing here two years ago, be sure to stop
by in October to relish Lori's rich photographs and joyful nature
vistas. Among her nature wonders this time is a series of trees taken
through the four seasons- a perfect visual depiction of time. She's
an excellent photographer, and her prints are perfect
for holiday gift-giving. Every time. Show runs October 4 thru 29.
In Concert
Rachanee
Thursday, October 4, 8pm
~ special event ~
Rachanee is a versatile independent singer/songwriter based in
Michigan. Her catchy blend of folk/pop/rock music is quickly gaining
attention nationwide at various venues and on college, Christian and
AAA radio. "Here with Me" from Rachanee's debut album Ordinary Girl
was
named Best Contemporary Christian Song for the 2006 Independent Music
Awards, and "From Here" placed second in the 2006 Great Lakes
Songwriting Contest. Often found as either a solo acoustic act or part
of an acoustic duo, she is comfortable performing in any venue, as she
performs regularly at festivals, coffeeshops, and churches all over the
country. Compared to Natalie Merchant and Michelle Branch, her music
has a guitar-driven folk/rock feel; her heartfelt lyrics appeal to any
audience. Bonus: concert begins as Annex Gallery reception ends.
Tickets: $10
Gene's
Jazz
Hot
Thursday, October 11, 6:30pm-9:00pm
~ second Thursdays ~
We call Gene's Jazz Hot the house band here, but they were really
regulars down the street at Cafe Limbo. With the sudden loss of Cafe
Limbo, Gene's Jazz Hot was feeling homeless, and that's just not right
for the house band! So, without further ado, we present Gene's Jazz
Hot on the second Thursday of October and
November, and see how it goes (subtext: come support the band and buy a
book at
intermission!). Donations for the band gladly accepted.

Stump
the Bookseller Selection of the month
B586: Bluing for chickens
This is a chapter book from the 1950s or 60s, I believe part of a
series or at least a sequel, about a large poor family living in the
country/woods. The oldest girl is a daughter and then there is a son,
and lots of younger brothers and sisters. There are stories of how
they make do (passing down schoolbooks to be used from one year to the
next, making a baseball out of string, etc.) There is also a large bit
about the little girls who go around the country neighborhood selling
bluing they ordered from a magazine, to raise money to buy chickens (I
think). It is sort of reminiscent of Little House books only the
family is larger and stuff.
Happy Halloween. Come check out our spooky decor, and don't forget the
blog....
boo,
