Announcing May's Fiction Frenzy Book Club pick, "A

Announcing May's Fiction Frenzy Book Club pick, "Anxious People" by Fredrik Backman!

A group of disparate people converge on a highly sought-after apartment for an open house and find themselves caught in a hostage situation unlike any we've seen before. This book has something for everyone: it's funny, it's heartwarming, it has a bit of a mystery element to it with a fun twist that turns the book on its head, and it all adds up to one of the best books you will ever read: period. That's right, we're staking our reputation on this recommendation!

So read the book and join us on May 3rd at 2pm for what will sure to be one of the more fun discussions we've ever had at book club! There's a reason why this one only missed Goodreads's Fiction Pick of the year by three votes! ("The Midnight Library" beat it out, and, honestly, this one's better. That's right...we said what we said!)

Join us this Sunday, April 6th, from 1pm-3pm to me

Join us this Sunday, April 6th, from 1pm-3pm to meet author Mark London Williams, who will be here with their middle grade/early YA horror book “Max Random and the Zombie 500 Horror!"

"Weeks after watching her principal try to chew up her teacher, and minutes after she’d just lost her family, 12-year-old Aurora Bonsall begins her escape. Alongside Max Random in his hand-built go-kart, they set off across a ruined landscape of studio backlots, wrecked shopping malls, and not-so-abandoned hospitals. At every step, they’ll find the not-quite-dead waiting for them.

As they head for a rendezvous point where Max insists they’ll be safe, it becomes clear that surviving humans can be far more dangerous than the Nano-Zs taking over the world. But as Aurora discovers Max has secrets of his own, she wonders if there can ever be any escape at all."

Join us in welcoming back author @janieemaus this Saturday, April 5th at 4pm, who will be here with her delightful children's book "Easter Eggs and Matzo Balls"!

In this humorous and endearing story, blending both Easter and Passover, a young boy wants the Easter Bunny to bring his stepsister something special in the Golden Egg. He suggests various Passover items. But even after squishing and squashing, the Easter Bunny can’t make any of them fit. In the end, the boy does more than find something special. He saves his new sister’s favorite part of Passover. They learn that celebrating together, hunting for Easter Eggs or the Afikoman, makes the holidays even better.

It’s a joyful, engaging read perfect for culturally blended families and delightful for all readers. The playful rhymes will keep kids giggling and Janie’s family matzo ball soup recipe included at the end is to die for.

Hey gang, here's our next major announcement regar

Hey gang, here's our next major announcement regarding the move! Next Sunday, April 6th, will be our last day of sales in our current location before we move downstairs. We'll be announcing the reopen date soon, but we hope for it to be just a few days later!

A bit of sad news: because our new space is going to be a bit cozier, our store mascot/Employee of Every Month...Kevin...will be retiring ahead of the move. We know he's been a beacon in the window for almost two years...and some of your little ones enjoy spending time with him when they're here... but he will be missed by all.

So come on out this final week...do some shopping, say good-bye to the space...and take alllllll the pics you want with (and without) Kevin! Tag us in your pics with favorite memories of the space...events you came to, new friends you made here, etc. And we won't be gone for very long, so don't fret. We'll be open in our new space with all the awesome things you've come to love about our store before you know it!

Join us this Sunday, March 30th at 4pm and help us welcome Paloma Blue(@saturnalia.queen )with her dark, historical romance novel “The Saturnalia Queen”!

Rome conquers all: but what if love conquers Rome’s emperor?

The Emperor Caracalla is feared throughout the Roman Empire as a cold and cruel tyrant. Yet when he travels with his Legions to conquer the Barbarian tribes in Germania, Caracalla encounters a young healer who refuses to be subjugated to his will. For Gelvira, who has spent her life dedicated in service to the goddess who guides and nurtures her people, this Roman Emperor fills her with both fear and desire as she feels a connection to him that cannot be explained. As desire leads to passion and then love, Gelvira must risk everything to save not only her people but also Caracalla from those who would stop at nothing to claim Rome’s power for their own.

Hey everyone! Since we still have SO much to pare

Hey everyone! Since we still have SO much to pare down before our move next month, we're going to sweeten the deal and up the percentage the final two days of our sale!

So Monday and Tuesday we will be doing a 75% off sale! And...wait for it...there's even been a restock in several sections ! So come fill up some boxes for the final portion of our sale and build up those personal libraries and classrooms!

Hey everyone! Because we are moving downstairs, an

Hey everyone! Because we are moving downstairs, and not closing for good, we are doing a five day flash moving sale (Friday, March 21st - Tuesday, March 25th). The entire store is NOT going to be on sale. We will only have SELECT sections (and sub-sections) that we plan to shrink down when we move. While it will still be a large swath of the store, we just want to manage expectations, as we still need awesome things to provide for you when we relocate!

To avoid confusion, everything will be labeled for your ease when you come in to shop the next five days, so have no fear! As the sections shrink down to what we need them to become for the new space, that section will cease being on sale, which is why we aren't listing them here. (But know that roughly 80% of the store will be on sale, so you have LOTS to choose from!) So it will behoove you to try to get here sooner, rather than later!

Per the usual, tote bag and other discounts don't combine, and store credit and stamp card redemption will not be allowed on 50% off sales transactions.

See you all this weekend for this awesome sale!

Hey everyone! We just wanted to take a moment and

Hey everyone! We just wanted to take a moment and make our formal/official announcement: we'll be moving downstairs next month into the space right next to Wokcano! Same great mall, different Open Book space.

It'll be a little cozier than the space we're currently in, but we'll still have a great selection of all the sections you love and the events you enjoy coming to each month! As most of you know, (being ex first-timers now), first-timers always exclaim "I didn't even know you were here!" and are surprised to learn we've been here for two years 🤣. While we've still been doing gangbusters since we opened, moving down to the main thoroughfare will give us a much better line of visibility, and for even more people to find us and join The Open Book family!

We will announce the official date here once we have a hard date, but it will be sometime in early-mid April. Until then, it will be business as usual: we'll still be open; author events and book clubs set up prior are still happening, so still do come! And please forgive the potential "chaos" leading up to the move, as we sell down certain sections that we plan to shrink downstairs and move fixtures from one space to the other. We currently hope to do a gradual move so that we are only closed for a couple of days in between spaces for as seamless of a transition as humanly possible, but we know: life happens. Keep an eye here for all announcements!

So if you've been meaning to come check out the space...or wanting to say goodbye one last time before saying hello to our new home...now is the time! While it may feel like the end of your favorite trilogy, don't despair: you'll be jumping right into the spinoff series...which often leads to bigger and better adventures! Don't look at this move as the closing of a book, but as the beginning of the next exciting chapter in our long narrative. (We're going for "Wheel of Time"/"Sweet Valley High" territory here, after all, folks 😉 !)

Join us at 2pm on April 20th for the fourth meeting of the Out and Open Queer Book Club!

We will be discussing Glennon Doyle’s best selling memoir ‘Untamed.’ Both tender and bold, this book tackles finding yourself at an older age, setting boundaries, and proclaiming the type of person you want to be. Peppered with humor and wisdom this tale of a late bloomer (in more ways than one) is a page turner and one that will stay with you!
(Also it was a Reece’s book club pick!)

Read the whole book, or come tell us why you DNFed!
We will have snacks, and as always participants will earn a stamp on their stamp card!!
