Yes, they are here! Yes, we will have them out for you to buy first thing Tuesday morning. And yes, we have fun Fourth Wing merch to go with the books.

So, no, you don’t have to go out of town or head to a big chain to find the book on release day.

But, yes, if you want to be sure you get a copy on Tuesday, you can preorder anytime at https://inkandimprintbooks.com/book/9781682818084 (or just go to inkandimprintbooks.com and search for Threshing Day).

We are so grateful to everyone who has donated to help kids buy books at local book fairs. The stories we hear from teachers and principals about the joy kids express at getting to pick out a book fair book when they didn't expect to get to shop always bring tears to our eyes.

We're getting ready to deliver the first book fair boxes today, but there's still time to donate at https://inkandimprintbooks.com/donation/local-school-book-fair-donation or in the store!

More new books!

And local author alert—The Last Room in Haven House is by Bloomington author M Kayes! It’s described as a close-to-cozy fantasy that combines the magical found family of Howl’s Moving Castle with some D&D flavored twists. Perfect for fans of TJ Klune, Travis Baldree, Sangu Mandanna, and Rebecca Thorne. We have signed book plates to go with the book too!
