🚨 IT’S HERE. IT’S CHAOTIC. AND YES, HE IS WEARING THE BOXERS. 🚨
​The phenomenon has officially hit our graphic novel shelves! We just got our hands on Dungeon Crawler Carl: The Graphic Novel (Volume One) by Matt Dinniman and Laurel Pursuit, and it looks absolutely incredible in full color. 💥
​For the uninitiated: Imagine the world ends, an alien AI turns Earth into a deadly, televised gladiatorial dungeon game, and your only hope of survival is a guy named Carl running around in heart-patterned boxers... alongside his ex-girlfriend's highly intelligent, award-winning Persian cat, Princess Donut. 🐱👑
​Whether you are a die-hard fan of the audiobooks or brand new to the madness, this adaptation brings the entire hilarious, action-packed crawl to life beautifully.
​Edgar Allan Paws and Margaret Catwood have already inspected the inventory, and they give it two very enthusiastic paws up. 😉🐾
​Come grab your copy before the AI decides to blow up the bookstore!

Oh, and did we mention they have other forms of media as well, including an old vinyl records section that has some absolute gems.

If you've never been to Kicks Mix, we highly recommend stopping by on June 28th from 4 pm to 7 pm for their annual Family Pride Event. We'll be there with treats and plenty of fun as we listen to Drag Storytime with M Adam Woods and sing some of our favorite tunes during open mic.

Congratulations to Johnston for finding the image and posting a picture. There are four more left, so still plenty of opportunities for everyone to play along.

Blue-collar wisdom meets laugh-out-loud encouragement. 🛠️❤️

Manufacturing is the backbone of our community, but it takes a special kind of grit—and a great sense of humor—to do it for three decades.

We are thrilled to host indie author Savannah Kimble for an exclusive meet-and-greet and book signing!

🗓️ When: Sunday, June 28th 3pm to 7pm 🥰🥰(regular store hours will be extended to 7pm on this particular Sunday so that we can invite folks to our Annual Family Pride Event starting at 4pm)🥰🥰🥰
📍 Where: Kicks Mix Bookstore

Savannah’s new book reflects on a 30-year career in the manufacturing industry, serving up hilarious, real-world words of encouragement for the modern worker. It’s the perfect read for anyone who has ever clocked in, turned a wrench, or managed a team.

Come support a fantastic indie author, hear some great stories, and get your book signed!

✨ NEW ARRIVAL AT THE SHOP ✨

“A great thinning of the skies is under way... An ancient avian orchestra is falling silent.”

From the visionary creators of The Lost Words, Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris, comes The Book of Birds: A Field Guide to Wonder and Loss. 📖🦅

This isn't just a book—it is a breathtaking, vital spell-book of remembrance and celebration. Combining Macfarlane’s lyrical, hauntingly beautiful prose with Morris’s jaw-dropping, gold-leaf-textured watercolor illustrations, it honors the beauty of our winged neighbors while gently sounding the alarm for what we stand to lose.

Whether you are a lifelong birdwatcher, a lover of stunning art books, or someone looking for a deeply moving gift, this gorgeous hardcover deserves a permanent spot on your shelves.

🍂 Come turn the pages for yourself. We have a fresh shipment waiting for you on the tables. Stop by, grab a copy, and let's keep the avian orchestra playing.

👇 Drop a 🦉 or a 🦅 in the comments if you want us to hold a copy behind the counter for you! MRSP $35.00, OUR PRICE $29.95
