I almost said “new week, new books” and then I realized that it’s actually almost the end of the week…..oops! But regardless, here are a few of the new titles that hit the shelves this week! 😍

🎵I’m so excited to have signed copies of the new Kennedy Ryan book, Score (that was a happy little surprise because I did not remember ordering signed copies!) If you’re a romance lover and haven’t tried her books yet, you may want to pick this one up - second chance romance between a screenwriter and a musician!

🪐And for our sci-fi lovers, you definitely want to check out Radiant Star! I can’t say I know much about it, but it seems to be getting pretty good early reviews!

OPENING AT 9:00 AM TOMORROW (Thursday, May 7)

We’ve just about run out of our daily blend espresso beans for The Subculture Coffee Company 😱 That unfortunately impacts our bookish fam too since we will have to make a supply run first thing in the morning to get everything restocked! Because of that, we will be opening a couple hours later than normal. So we will see everyone at 9:00 tomorrow morning!! ☺️

I know a lot of people have been waiting for Fury Bound to come out, and it’s finally here!! AND….we were able to get our hands on some signed copies 😭😍🥳 I don’t know if we will be able to get any more, so once the signed copies are gone, they are probably gone for good!

We apologize for any inconvenience changes like this may bring to your plans or routine. I think those of you who have been in probably know that we are doing a lot and covering a lot of hours every week with just a couple people, so we appreciate your understanding when things come up where we need to limit our hours for a few days ♥️

‼️GOLDEN TICKET SEARCH POSTPONED - NOW HAPPENING MAY 2‼️

Hey bookish friends!
Due to some last minute changes in our schedule, we are going to have some adjusted hours this week, which unfortunately means we have to postpone our search for the Golden Ticket until Saturday, May 2.

We apologize for this change, but are still looking forward to being able to hide this ticket to bless one of you with 🌟12 FREE AUDIOBOOKS🌟

Stay tuned for our adjusted hours for later this week as well as some other news on some sales and free shipping happening with both Libro and Bookshop!
