But that’s why we love what we do - connecting with you connects us to new stories and new perspectives! June’s book club pick — selected by a community member — caught everybody’s attention and it raced to the top!

We love the local picks like 60 Hikes within 60 Miles and a puzzle book by the lovely Claire of

And we see our booksellers’ favorite books all over the chart - Kira love The Road to Tender Hearts (as do the rest of us) and Good Night, Irene. Madison is an evangelist for I Who Have Never Know Men and Shirley Jackson. And the Linda Effect is clear as crystal with Adam Higginbotham’s Challenger!

If you enjoy some humor with your historical fiction, you must check out Bonnie Garmus if you haven’t already!

Her new book, Peck & Peck, publishes this October and follows Batter Gray, a young man whose life turns upside down he is hired by the most secretive, prestigious, and dysfunctional poetry journal in the word: the renowned Peck & Peck of New York City.

I’m enjoying the humorous characters — especially Batter’s parents — so far, and am excited to see where the story goes.

Lessons in Chemistry is one of my favorite recent historical fiction novels, and largely because of its humor.

You can preorder Peck & Peck on our website under the Preorders tab, or directly at https://bookshop.org/a/108239/9781668251065

Guys Madison is a super fan of this book 🤭
She is the reason it was a bestseller for a whole month at the store!
Watch her rave about the Collector’s Edition and why it’s so special (and why she thinks it was made just for her 👀)

Things you’ll learn in this video:
📚 a new author to check out (she wrote in the introduction for this edition)
👀 a short synopsis of the book
💕 Madison’s favorite color
📣 why she wanted to squeal and shriek when it arrived (which she totally could have - we squeal in the store all the time about books - it’s just part of the job 🤗)

Anyway… if you haven’t read this book, you should pick it up! We have both the regular edition and collector’s edition in stock!

Or find them at bookshop.org/shop/wovenwords or give it a listen at libro.fm/wovenwords
