Hello Bookish friends!

We are so excited to begin our second year in the King of Prussia Mall. The percentage of local customers we see each day is gradually increasing and our sales have increased A LOT over last year. Thank you for telling your friends about our quirky author-owned independent book boutique!

RANDOM FACT #3

Becky and I know 20%-30% of the authors on our shelves PERSONALLY. We run a writers conference (10 years), book awards program (7 years) and mobile bookstore (5 years) and it is out of those experiences that we have all the relationships that have resulted in so many signed copies and exclusive books you find on our shelves!


UPCOMING EVENTS!

TOMORROW, Saturday Sept 24th from 12-3pm -

Klara the Cow is a cow book for children about a cow who is a little different from the other cows, because she has a very special talent. She is so special that a Prince offered to buy her from the farmer, but the Prince soon learned that Klara is more precious than any money he could ever offer. This cow book presents how it’s okay to be different, and it feels good to be loved and special. Let’s learn more about Klara and her friends in this fun rhyming picture book!

Kimberly (Kimbba) Kleczka grew up as a third culture kid; born in the UK, and then living in Africa, America, New Zealand, several European countries and currently residing in Hong Kong. She is on a journey to educate and entertain our children and youth about the Kool world we live in through her books, audio books, sing-a-long books, videos and fun puppets. Please join her on this edutainment adventure!


MEET LISA REGAN

About HER FINAL CONFESSION

When the body of a young student is found on the driveway of a local Denton home, Detective Josie Quinn is first on the scene. The house belongs to Gretchen Palmer, a dedicated member of Josie’s team, who surfaces after 24 hours, only to hand herself in to the police. Josie knows that there’s no way Gretchen could ever be a killer, so why would she confess to a murder she didn’t commit?

Digging deep into Gretchen’s secretive life, Josie uncovers a link between the boy and a devastating case in Gretchen’s past. But just when Josie thinks she has it all figured out, the bodies of a young couple surface on the other side of town. Can Josie get to the truth in time to save her friend from a life in prison or certain death?
