Time for a preorder contest!

There are some AMAZING titles coming out this fall! We’re excited about so many of them and we know you will be too!

Sometimes it’s hard in the heart of summer to think ahead to the fall (or even for the holidays!), so we thought a prize might help.

Preorder a book between today and midnight on September 7th (Labour day) and you’ll be entered into a chance to win a gift card for the Art Apothecary! Art Apothecary

Every preorder is a chance to win!
