While our shop remains closed, we are shipping books, making recommendations, and adjudicating contests. More reason to keep a respectful retreat!

It's creepy, disconcerting, and readable." | *Rachel is reading The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal*: "This book is basically Women Being Awesome, plus outer space--what's not to love? It reads like the fictional memoir of one woman's chafing from and picking loose the seams of the gender norms of her time. " | *Sarah is reading The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah*:
"In the wilds of Alaska in 1974, young protagonist Leni is realizing that family can be more dangerous than the cold and the dark of an Alaska winter...So, yes, another cold, arctic book for me to read from the comfort of my couch." | | | | |
