No AI posters over here, friends, so you’ll have to just hang with our messy handwriting. (Though we’re still trying to figure out how to navigate Canva, which had been our old reliable). Anyway. Storefront is closed tomorrow because we’ll be hanging out with SWVA Pride all day at the Salem Civic Center. We’ve got new inventory just for this event and we can’t wait to hang out with you! 🌈📚

Halsey’s helping a friend and will be there soon! In the meantime, snag a fall drink at Little Green Hive and check out The Slap Shop. See you soon!

We’ve got so much to talk about this weekend! On Sunday, meet us at Sycamore Station at 1:30; Allison will lead us as we talk about classics, old and new. And on Monday, we’re talking about the summer’s hottest book, Yesteryear. We’ll see you at Crystal Spring Grocery; drift in between 6:00-7:00 to get a drink and a snack, and we’ll dive into the book at 7:00. Sycamore Station Max Crystal Spring Grocery Co.

Updated shop hours for the season. We hate cutting a day out but we’re a family run business and while we love the store, RDR doesn’t pay our bills, and so we do what we can. We *love* when you come in and shop— truly, it makes our days the best. But if you can’t make it down during our limited hours, you can come out to events or shop with us online. Indie bookstores are vital to communities and we are so grateful for your support. Xoxo- K&J&H

Scenes from the shop today. We’ve restocked BDwaB (here and at Sycamore Station!), and loved meeting everyone. Lots of Hokie fans, sweet kiddos, and folks traveling through with a stop in Roanoke. We’re grateful for each of you. We’ll see you tomorrow at noon. Xoxo- k&j&h
