Even though it was Halloween week, there were only treats at the Next Chapter as we celebrated the midnight release of A Court of Splintered Harmony and welcomed Hazel Beck for the release of Some Kind of Haunted! 🎃 📚 During the ACOSH release party, everyone had fun creating bookmarks, putting together a puzzle, chatting about all things ACOTAR, and a select group received ACTOAR-themed tattoos! The next day Hazel Beck, the writing duo comprised of Megan Crane and Nicole Helm, talked about their newest book, upcoming projects, spooky Nebraska lore, and ended the evening by signing books! It is always a blast having them at the store! What a wonderful bookish week! 📚♥️

This week (October 4-10) is Banned Books Week, and it is celebrated at bookstores, libraries, schools, and other organizations across the country! At the Next Chapter, we encourage you to read banned books this week and all year long because reading is one of the most powerful forms of protest we can do. The Next Chapter proudly displays a banned books table in store, and it is one of our most popular sections because people love talking about banned books! What is your favorite banned book? Let us know in the comments. 📚
