Welcome to the first edition of our newsletter! We are going to try to get information out to you once a week so you know what is going on in the store, what's happening with our cats, and maybe some extra nerdy stuff too. We are open to your suggestions, so don't hesitate to give us feedback. :) Enjoy! |

Saturday, May 20, 2-4pm Lori Vober, author of a fantastic self-agency book, Choices, will be joining us for a reading and signing. Her books will be available for purchase. Lori survived a damaging stroke at the young age of 29, but her faith and perseverance helped her exceed doctor expectations.

Saturday, May 27, 2-6pm T.J. Lombardi is back at the shop! He will be reading a teaser chapter from his book, The Dying Breed: Hunters, and will be signing purchased copies. We have the inside scoop that book number two is almost ready to go to print, so this is the perfect time to get started on this fantastic series. Charity's question to you after you've read book one is: which character is YOUR favorite? | | |

The credit can be applied to 50% of the price of any green or pink stickered books. Come in for details about our policy. We are always looking for manga, westerns, STEM, classic lit, young adult, and young/early reader books. |

So what do you think of newsletter #1? Does it got it all or nothing of any worth? Feel free to drop us a line to give us suggestions about how we can make thing even better. Or better yet, come in and see us in person. Interesting conversation is never in short supply. :) Thanks for taking the time to read this email. Until next week! ~ Charity and Amy (and Jack and Toothless) P.S. If you write us with feedback, can you address it as "Letter to the Editor"? I think it would be super cool to see that tag in the subject line. :) | | |
