There's some kind of sale happening this week at one of those big online retailers, but we're here to remind you that now's a perfect time to shop small and shop local. While the big guys can entice you with low costs on loss leaders, it comes at a much higher price. Meanwhile your local independent bookstores like The Bookworm keep more dollars in your community, build vibrancy through events and partnerships, and encourage literacy & free expression. There's no time like the present to not shop Prime.

From beloved NYT-bestselling author Lisa See, the story of three Chinese women whose unexpected friendship helps them survive and, despite the odds, thrive, in the turmoil of post-Civil War Los Angeles. Brought together by hardship and heartbreak, they must use their bravery, endurance, and ability to β€œeat bitterness” to discover their voices, find freedom, and connect through solace and friendship. Together they are daughters of the sun and moon.

➻ An aspiring archivist determined to begin a "serious" life after an undistinguished undergraduate career takes up residence in the Italian countryside. Here, he becomes the all-purpose assistant to the Baronessa, known to her friends as Coco, a defiantly youthful and naturally flamboyant woman of ninety-two. Told with the signature wit, charm, and humanity that made "Less" an international phenomenon, "Villa Coco" is a dazzling, sun-soaked ode to life itself, a meditation on how seriously we ought to take ourselves, and a b***y Mediterranean ballad about becoming who we've always wanted to be.
