Next Saturday! Friends, please join us for a special storytime next month with Steven Weinberg, as he reads his beautiful new picture book, I AM THE MOUNTAIN.

This is going to be so much fun. We can't wait to see you there!
https://bluewillowbookshop.com/event/weinberg-2026

About the book:
A mountain introduces itself to young visitors through all five senses in this vibrant watercolor book of seasons.

Meet the narrator of this book: the mountain. Itā€™s cold and windy up here, so you might want to shut your eyes; you donā€™t need them to see the mountain best, anyway.

Stay with the mountain for all four seasons, and you can truly get to know it. See the mountain with your hands in the winter, digging in the snow. With your nose in the spring, breathing in the rain and mud. With your ears in the summer, when the birds caw caw and thunder booms, and in autumn, with your tongue, biting into sweet apples and earthy mushrooms.

Steven Weinberg brings his acclaimed watercolor painting together with his award-winning writing for children in this immersive, electric ode to the wild world.

Next Friday! We're so happy to invite you to our event with bestselling author Kirsty Greenwood, celebrating her new romance book, ROMANTIC HERO. šŸ©·

You'll want to stay up late finishing this charming read about a heartbroken romance novelist who encounters the villainous cowboy character from her books. Join us! https://bluewillowbookshop.com/event/greenwood-2026

About the book:
ā€œKirsty Greenwoodā€™s writing is like receiving a warm hug from a dear friend.ā€ā€”Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Golden Summer

A heartbroken romance novelist is forced to address her writer's block when the villainous cowboy character from her books shows up in the real world, desperately in need of his own Happily Ever After. . . from the bestselling author of GMA book club pick The Love of My Afterlife.

Gertie Bickerstaff writes happily-ever-afters for a living. . . . Or she did, until her own love life fell apart. Now her ex is thriving, her deadline is looming, and she canā€™t write a single word.

The last thing Gertie needs is more dramaā€”like waking up to find a confused and rugged cowboy on her sofa. And not just any cowboy, but River Oakley, the villain from her unfinished novel. Somehow very real . . . and very shirtless.

River wants to go home. Gertie wants her life back. So they strike a deal: heā€™ll use his cunning ways to help her win back her ex, sheā€™ll finish the novel, and, surely, heā€™ll return to whatever world he rode in from.

But as River Oakley proves to be so much more than just the bad guy, Gertie has to choose: the ending she thought she wanted . . . or the plot twist she never saw coming.

Next Thursday! You're invited to our event with USA TODAY bestseller Kayla Olson, celebrating her new romcom, THE GREAT OUTDOORS! šŸ’š

Kayla will be joined in conversation by USA TODAY bestseller Naina Kumar. Join us, friends! https://bluewillowbookshop.com/event/kayla-olson-26

About the book:
From USA TODAY bestseller Kayla Olson, a new rom-com about a high-maintenance woman who embarks on a wilderness trek to prove to her ex how low-maintenance she can beā€”only to find herself with no makeup and an extremely attractive trek leader.

Those who say ā€œbe preparedā€ never met Sadie Whitlock.

Sadie has always been praised for being the most prepared person in the room, the one whoā€™s thought of everythingā€”and every backup planā€”for any given situation. She knows exactly what she wants, exactly what she loves, and goes to great lengths to make sure her life runs perfectly as planned.

So, when her laidback boyfriend breaks up with her for being ā€œtoo high-maintenance,ā€ Sadie is eager to prove him wrong, and signs herself up for a weeks-long guided wilderness adventure in the High Sierras of California: camping, hiking, rappelling, and kayaking. Itā€™s the most miserable, uncomfortable situation she can think of.

Sadieā€™s a five-star resort girl at heart, but she has a compellingā€”and suspiciously attractiveā€”tour guide: August Thorn. Thorn lives for adventure and always keeps a professional distance from the trekkers under his careā€¦but thereā€™s just something about Sadie, and for the first time, he finds himself wanting to get closer. As they explore the wilderness together, Sadie realizes the great outdoors might truly be great with the right person.

Dear books & craft lovers, we'd love to see you tomorrow for our book club, A Good Yarn!āœØ

We'll be discussing A FAMILY MATTER by Claire Lynch. Can't wait! https://bluewillowbookshop.com/event/good-yarn-june2026

About the book:
A READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY ā€¢ WINNER OF THE NERO GOLD PRIZE ā€¢ ā€œBurns like a sparkler, quick and mesmerizing.ā€ ā€”The New York Times ā€¢ Longlisted for the Aspen Words Literary Prize

A young wife following her heart. A husband with the law on his side. Their daughter, caught in the middle. Forty years later, a family secret changes everything in this ā€œquietly heart-scorchingā€ (Barbara Kingsolver) debut novel.

1982. Dawn is a young mother, still adjusting to life with her husband, when Hazel lights up her world like a torch in the dark. Theirs is the kind of connection thatā€™s impossible to resist, and suddenly life is more complicated, and more joyful, than Dawn ever expected. But she has responsibilities and commitments. She has a daughter.

2022. Heron has just received news from his doctor that turns everything upside down. Heā€™s an older man, stuck in the habits of a quiet existence. Telling Maggie, his only childā€”the person around whom his life has revolvedā€”seems impossible. Heron canā€™t tell her about his diagnosis, just as he canā€™t reveal all the other secrets heā€™s been keeping from her for so many years.

A Family Matter is an ā€œintricately layered and infinitely nuancedā€ (Oprah Daily) exploration of love and loss, intimacy and injustice, custody and care, and whether it is possible to heal from the wounds of the past in the changed world of today.
