Here are some fresh new releases our sellers recommend:

🍲 What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast by Caroline Chambers, a cookbook packed full of 100+ recipes requiring 30 minutes or less of hands-on kitchen time, and less dishes!!

🧙🏾‍♀️Three Little Witches and the Spooky Old House by Peggy Archer and illustrated by Anne Mortimer. The witches go on a fun, not-too-spooky Halloween adventure as they explore a mysterious house, a perfect picture book for 4-8 y.o. this spooky season! 👻

🔎 The Secrets We Hide by Karin Slaughter, sequel to We Are All Guilty Here, Centers on Sheriff Emmy Clifton and her sister, ex-federal agent Jude Archer, investigating a brutal murder.

 🐜Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories 2 — even more hilariously terrifying than the first!

📰 A Mary pick— Are They Dead Yet? The Art of the Obit, by veteran The New York Times obituary writer and journalist Sam Roberts. The book explores the craft of life-summarizing journalism drawn from Roberts’s experience writing nearly 1,500 obituaries.

🐉How to Train Your Dragon School: Fight of the Flamestrike, the second book in Cressida Cowell’s spin-off series. The story follows Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Kamizazi during a sneak attack and boarding lesson, a great read for 7-10 y.o.!

New releases our booksellers are excited about! 🎉

☀️Sunlight Finds You by Laura Moriarty
“A mid-century coming-of-age novel with a protagonist you can’t help but root for. The confident, elegant narration keeps you turning pages through a girl’s reckoning with her choices and mistakes, and her desire to find happiness.” -Christine Christine Pivovar

Plus— Laura is a local author living in Lawrence! 🌻

🐕Etna by Paul Yoon
“Unforgettable. The narrative voice is so human and tender in contrast to the destruction and impact of war.
The depiction of an anonymous war torn country was so masterfully portrayed. Above all, it was the dog’s loyalty and his life journey. A short novel but so powerful in its message.” -Mary Mary Mcbride

🌳The Unknown by Riley Sager
“This is Riley Sager at his very best. From seances gone awry to the chilling and supernatural threat of violence against a cast of characters with their own secrets to hide and scores to settle, Sager will keep you guessing until the last page.” -Denton Denton Williams

We have some signed copies of The Unknown too!!

✏️Mr. Wolf’s Class: The New Student by Aron Nels Steinke
“Mr. Wolf’s class is back in session, and this time a new student steals the spotlight. My crew loves this class of crazy (relatable) characters and we’re all thrilled #6 is out. If this series of graphic novels is new to you, I’m jealous!” -Elizabeth litpicksbooks
