📚 These were the books our community brought home in May, and what a wonderful mix they are.

We’re especially excited to see several titles connected to recent and upcoming events at the shop, including June’s Fiction Book Club selection, “The Things We Never Say” by Elizabeth Strout, which was our bestselling title of the month.

Thank you for choosing to shop local and be part of our reading community.
