Love this new staff pick by Kaitlyne!

"The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar is a gorgeous and atmospheric fantasy that feels like a long-lost folktale of sisterhood and magic. Check out the audiobook for music and stunning production, or the physical for art!"

You can buy the paperback in our store or at https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-river-has-roots-amal-el-mohtar/e100bf034c293367?ean=9781250363688&bkshp-astro=t or the audiobook at https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781250353351-the-river-has-roots. (Be sure to pick Bold as your home store if you buy online to help support our shop!)
