Do you have any auto-buy authors? You love their writing so much that you automatically purchase their newest book.

If so, are any of them in this stack of new realeases?

(Several of mine are! 🀩)

This is your reminder to use your coupon from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend!

This indie-supporting reader had a 50% off purchase (!!!) coupon. 🀩 And she made excellent use of it - what a great stack of books!

You also deserve something new to read (with or without a coupon 🀣) so swing by - 10am-8pm Sat & 10am-4pm Sun.

See you soon! 😊

Can't believe I forgot to post about our Books On Tap Book Club discussion from last week. 🀣

Boy, oh, boy!

We discussed TARTUFO by Kira Jane Buxton. It's a funny and heart-warming story about a small Italian village with an array of characters.

It sparked a lively (dare I say, raucous at times) conversation. πŸ˜„

At great time was had by all, though!

Next pick: THE GHOSTWRITER by Julie Clark (cool tote bag included with purchase while supplies last)

Wednesday, June 10, at 7:30pm

We had the pleasure of meeting The Novel Toast Book Club on Sunday.

Their home base is Cedar Rose Winery in Rosenhayn.

They organized a bus trip for the day. After leaving us, they went on to Bordentown and, I believe, ended their trip with a visit to our good friends at Second Time Books in Mt. Laurel.

What a fun whirlwind of book lovers! We loved meeting all of you and look forward to seeing you again!

We hope you had a great day! πŸ’•

Here are the books that were read Sunday morning during our Silent Book Club!

It may seem strange until you do it...then you'll get it. πŸ˜ƒ

Hope you'll join us Sunday, June 7th at 9am!

Sunday morning we had our popular Sip, Share & Swap! (admittedly there was no sipping...I wasn't moving fast enough after Indie Bookstore Day to procure refreshments 🀣)

Even without nourishment, we had a fun start to the day - chatting about books and making new friends.

This time the pile was wide instead of tall.

Take a moment now to mark your calendar so you can join us!

SUNDAY, JUNE 28
9AM-10AM

DM us when you know which book(s) you plan to bring. Looking forward to seeing YOU on June 28th!

THANK YOU! πŸ’™ THANK YOU! πŸ’›THANK YOU! ❀

You made our Independent Bookstore Day absolutely fantastic!!

We had THE BEST time celebrating with you! πŸ’•

We're so grateful to you and our fellow small business owners in Uptown Pitman.



Having them help celebrate our special day made it even better. πŸ₯°

Our Golden Ticket from was found by these two determined sisters. They stopped in early to search, but couldn't find it. They returned after their lesson even more focused. It paid off!! They'll be enjoying a year of free audiobooks! 🎧

Check your ticket in your IBD tote bag. One of our gift cards hasn't been claimed. (We'll draw another number on Thursday, 4/30, if this one isn't claimed.)

We hope you had fun celebrating Independent Bookstore Day!
