A huge thank you to sarahpblanchard for visiting Once Upon Again Bookstore! 🖤📚

We had an amazing time getting to know Sarah, hearing about her journey to becoming an author, and diving into her latest thriller, Grabtown, including the exciting process of bringing it to life as an indie film!

If you love thrillers with rich plot development, interconnected storylines, and pieces that slowly come together, Grabtown deserves a spot on your TBR.

And the excitement doesn’t stop there! Sarah’s next book, The Begotten, releases October 1, and we were lucky enough to snag FIVE copies directly from her! 👀

Thank you again, Sarah, for sharing your stories, your journey, and your time with our bookies. We can’t wait to see what’s next! 🖤

Beyond the Books 🖤

We’ve got more than books around here. 👀

Shop bookish, witchy + weird little finds from DIY makers and small businesses—both local and across the USA.

Because supporting small should support more than just us. 🖤✨

✨ JUST RELEASED + ON OUR SHELVES! ✨

Under Story by Chloe Benjamin, bestselling author of The Immortalists, was released September 1st — and it’s already been named the September Good Morning America Book Club pick! 📚

A sweeping, ambitious love story about the lives we build, the choices that change everything, and the people we find our way back to.

Perfect for our general fiction readers looking for something emotional, beautifully written, and a little epic. 💙

BIG week at Once Upon Again 📚✨

We’ve got book club, TWO author events, Derryfest, and apparently I decided turning 36 was a perfectly reasonable excuse to throw a bookstore sale. 😂

📖 Monday: Chapter & Co. at 6:30 — Beartown
✍️ Thursday: Sarah P. Blanchard signing at 5 + Grabtown discussion at 6:30
🍂 Saturday: The shop is CLOSED because we’ll be out at Derryfest!
🦤 Sunday: Children’s author Priya St. Jean joins us at 2 for a JoJo the DoDo adventure + dance party
🎂 AND Sunday is my 36th birthday, so we’re celebrating with 36% off used books & merch, new-book deals, freebies + a raffle!

Basically… there is a LOT happening at our little bookstore this week. Come hang with us, bookies. 🖤📚

Three OG witches. Three newly initiated. 🔮🌙

Half of us grew up on Practical Magic. The other half got to discover the magic for the first time.

Six bookies went in. Six emotional witches came out. 😂🖤 We cried, we laughed, we absolutely loved it.

Consider the next generation officially initiated. ✨
