We had a nice break from summer markets, travelled to Calgary for the When Words Collide conference, and saw some of you at the Lyall's market pop-up on August 31!
We had so much fun spending time there and got to see lots of our besties from Book Boudoir, thank you Boudie's for your support!
Fall is starting to shape up for us and we have some news to share!
Catch us at Kingsway Mall on Saturday from 10AM-6:30PM, and Sunday from 11AM-5PM.
The theme of this market is "Malla University" and there will be lots of discounts available for students or teachers with a valid school ID!
Art Prints?!
We've been secretly scheming to bring you some gorgeous, unique, bookish artwork and merch and our first design is ready for it's debut!
We worked with local artist Haley Brown, a self described queer, disabled fairy godmother, to create something beautiful, and to say Haley delivered is really underselling it. We're hoping these prints sell well so we can buy all of the artwork she developed for us because there wasn't a single image we weren't in love with.
Haley's art has been rendered in gorgeous three-colour risograph and will be coming with us to Malla Market! We'll be offering 5% off prints for anyone with a valid school ID (for the Malla University theme) and you can get a 5x6 print for free if you're one of the first 20 people to arrive on Saturday only!
As a newsletter subscriber, you're obviously one of our favourite people and therefore deserve a sneak peek. Behold!

Inspired by C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, this wondrous novel is a fairy tale for grown-ups who still knock on the back of wardrobes—just in case—from the author of The Wishing Game.
“A wild and magical adventure that makes for a perfect cozy fantasy read, reminiscent of the childhood books we grew up loving.”—HuffPost
