Ready to fall in love next month?

Pre-order the sixth book in the ACOTOR series: A Court of Splintered Harmony by Sarah J. Mass with the Literary Lounge (link in bio!)

We have received an update from the publisher that due to the strict release date it will not be shipped from our distribution warehouse until Monday 10/26. The books will not be overnight shipped either and typically we received books in 2-4 business days. Due to this update we are NOT guaranteeing that the books will arrive on the release date of Tuesday 10/27/26.

As a small independently owned bookstore we cannot control when items are shipped by major distribution centers or decisions made by the publishers. We just want to thank you for supporting a small business and being flexible when ordering from an indie bookstore.

Thank you for understanding!
-The Literary Lounge Team

💌 My Freedom Promise Card: Each child creates and takes home a personal pledge describing one positive way they will use their voice at home, at school, or in their community.
✍️ Meet the Author: Kids can ask Dr. Ally questions, have books signed, and take photos to remember the day.
