The Last Dream by Pedro Almodovar
“If you’ve seen a film by acclaimed Academy Award director Pedro Almodovar then you already know he’s capable of producing the most unique, insane, gripping, and beautiful stories possible. If you haven’t seen a movie by Almodovar then these short stories will have the same effect of seeing his fantastic movies. Written with instant gratification and love, Almodovar takes the reader to a million places at once. Mystery, heartbreak, revenge, motherhood, childhood, death, hope, and identity. Almodovar never holds back.” - Spenser

“Burn” Review
“Dang. What a book. “Burn” is at once a political statement about division and factions, as well as a story of friendships and lifelong stories. Of the way we reassess and review our lives when we are faced with an uncertain future. Great read if you’re looking to go down a survivalist rabbit hole at election time. Deep and dark.” - Gretchen
Book for Book Trade
Our newest community engagement offer. You buy a book. You read the book. You enjoy and covet the book as long as you want. Your bedside table stacks start to falter. You need to get rid of the book to make room. NOW we are offering a trade back option. You give us your used book, we give you 15% off a new book. Life is grand and the universe is in balance. Our trade works with books of all ages and interests, with the only caveat being the book you trade must be in our system already (ie: no text books or old and dusty books people might not want to buy used).

The Wedding People
An outsider at a wedding gets more and more intertwined with the wedding attendees at a high end resort on the coast of Rhode Island. A story of choices, and love, with references to Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë novels. A cast of complex yet understandable and likable characters. An easy read with thought provoking passages that left me wanting to read the author’s other award winning novels. - Penny
Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner
A novel all about gaining knowledge through observation and yet relying entirely on luck. NOT the action spy novel like many others describe. It is cool, however, filled with regular espionage between governments, protest groups, rogue organizations, and email leaks. In fact it’s more about a lady walking around doing nothing but talking to leaders, getting their information then using it against them. And checking emails. Lots of interesting emails. Highly recommend! - Spenser
