A reminder that =Bookshop= is a great way to mail-order gifts for the folks on your gift list. Browse a huge selection of books in print, and ship books directly to your friends and loved ones. There is still time to receive books before Christmas Day! Choose the indie bookstore you want at the beginning of the process. Choose gift wrapping and shipping speed at checkout. Thank you to all who have "adopted" Karen's Book Row on Bookshop. When my logo is in the upper left corner of your screen, your purchase does benefit my shop. The retail world has been SO unpredictable in the pandemic era---your patronage really helps.

One of my favorite things about November is Pittsburgh's long-running Three Rivers Film Fest (3RFF)! The Fest is on now thru Nov 23rd, & features independent films, shorts, panels, & parties at movie theaters around town. I'm especially excited about the documentary showing at the Harris this Sunday, The Librarians, about the workers pushing back on book banning.

This year, take $3 off each 3RFF ticket with a Discount Code from Karen's Book Row:
