What we’re celebrating: Small Business Saturday on Nov 30th! Support your local retailers and Indie Bookstores this Saturday & if you are in the Malibu or Newport Beach area stop by and say “Hi”! We have a fun day of prizes, local author signings and more happening at both locations.
In Case You Missed It: Samantha Harvey won the Booker Prize for her novel, Orbital, which she says she “wanted more than anything, to be a book about beauty, and about joy, and about […] the rapture of looking at something so beautiful that also happens to be our home.” And Percival Everett won the National Book Award for his novel, James, which has been one of our top sellers at both stores this year!
