There's still time to pick up a copy of THE ONLY ONE LEFT.
It's a fast-paced thriller sure to leave its recurring & unsettling rhyme stuck in your brain for days!!

Stop in to pick up a copy, then join us to discuss it on Tuesday, June 23rd!

CALLING ALL READERS! Ever considered joining a Book Club?

We keep it pretty casual, are open to all authors and genres, and enjoy chatting about the 'book of the month' as well as any others we've enjoyed or heard about recently. We welcome participation in a variety of ways, and ALWAYS have snacks & refreshments - and sometimes even games & prizes.

This month we're reading this INSTANT New York Times Best Seller by Riley Sager. Stop by to pick up a copy! We're open Tuesday to Thursday 2-8pm, and Fridays & Saturdays 11am-5pm.
