It's November already! Cold weather is finally coming in!

It's also Tuesday! We have tons of new releases on the shelves (which means plenty of potential gifts for the upcoming holidays - or perhaps a treat for yourself)!

We have signed hardbacks of Captive Traitor King by Brigid Kemmerer, Defy the Dusk by Danielle L. Jensen, The Wolves of War by John Gwynne, The Last King of Faerie by Cassandra Clare, and Theo of Golden by Allen Levi! All beautiful editions with amazing maps, illustrated endpapers, or sprayed edges - the works!

We also have the collector's edition of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, featuring a slipcase, illustrated endpapers, and more!

The staff favorite series of the week is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling, which re-released with illustrations!

Another spotlight this week is The Art of Science by DK!

Sprayed edges! Activity books! Journals! There’s plenty more that we weren't able to feature, so stop by the bookstore to see what else is in the stacks!

Come meet Ivory Harlow during ARTWALK, November 20th and 21st from 3 to 7 PM at Front Street Books! Her book Bar C Ranch: Love in the Dust releases this month! In the need for more western romance? Then speak with Harlow herself, and find out what to expect with her upcoming series, Filson Farm, which releases in February of 2027!

Ivory Harlow writes heartfelt Western romance with big emotions, complicated characters, and hard-won happily-ever-afters.

She lives and writes in West Texas, where cactus and cowboys outnumber people—and love stories are never in short supply.

Another Book Buzz down, and quite a bewitching night it was!

We're sad to end spooky season here at Front Street, but we expect the upcoming holidays to be packed with tons of fun!

Thank you to everyone who came out for a night of boos, brews, and books!

We can't wait for the next one!

We know, we know...

Halloween was yesterday, and already with the Christmas stuff?

But it never hurts to be prepared! So get ahead of the game this season, take some of the gift-giving load off your shoulders, and find some audiobooks for your friends and family at Libro (while supporting small businesses, not billionaires)!

Pumpkin potions and mystic mayhem!

We'll be in and out of the shop all day setting up for Book Buzz, so you might catch us out of the corner of your eye, there and gone, like one of those grainy cryptid photos!

The shop is open as usual, 9:30-5:30 PM, so drop by to grab a bookish goodie before enjoying all our monsterful fun tonight at The Ritchey!

Don't have your tickets for Book Buzz? There's still time! While you're perusing the store pre-Halloween festivities, grab them while you're here!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all the families and kiddos of the area!

We hope you have fun trick or treating today, and eat a healthy amount of candy (but not enough to make you sick)!

If you find yourself in need of a treat that's not coated in chocolate, consider stopping by Front Street for one of our awesome books from the children's room!

Board books! Sticker books! Illustrated books! There's cool stuff in every section!

Be safe, and have a scream of a good time!
