Murder has come to The Book Nook. Lots and lots of murder. 🔎 We’ve just put out a huge collection of Agatha Christie mysteries—and these wonderfully weird and colorful vintage paperback covers are almost as much fun as the stories themselves. Come investigate—we have all of these and many more!

"Summer was on the way; Jem and I awaited it with impatience. Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the tree house; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all, summer was Dill."

―Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Tell me, what is summer to you?
