One of the great things about the new expanded bookstore is that I can expand some of our existing sections that had very limited space before. One section that we really expanded is the nature/outdoor activity section. It has over twice as much room as it had before so we can both order new inventory and also display our existing inventory better.

When I taught Environmental Science I had a wide variety of field guides and I quickly found out which ones my students preferred. When I became a bookstore owner I still wanted to help people to explore outdoors and I found a supplier that carried all my students favorite field guides. That supplier carries not only Minnesota/Midwest field guilds but also other books specific to our state. The five books shown in the post were just released for sale this week and are perfect for people interested in our area.

Fun Fact: Ohiyesa/Dr Charles Eastman actually grew up in Morton and there is a historical plaque about him in Morton.

Chapter Two Bookstore is more than just a book store!!! Now we have purses, wallets and back packs!!! It's a new supplier so I did a small order to check out the quality and I was pretty impressed. I'm pretty sure I'll be doing another order soon.

The have a wide variety of wallets and small clutch purses with classic book covers. I did a couple of generic book covers to start ... Do you have any personal favorites that you would like to see in stock?

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining but the bookstore has been keeping me hopping and it feels like I'm a bit behind on everything!

First ... Thank you so much to everyone who came in for Independent Bookstore Day last Saturday!!! It was a busy, fun day!!!

Second ... These are the new books that came in last Friday. This selection actually had me a bit impressed with my book buying skills! Anyway, there are more books coming in later today so I figured I'd better get the pictures of these beauties posted.

Last ... but maybe most important ... I have been working really hard on the annex and it is getting SOOOOOO close. I think we will start moving inventory in a week or so, so the bookstore might be a bit chaotic for a while (Think back to when they remodeled our Walmart but stayed open. Yah, a bit like that.) It's exciting but exhausting and sometimes I fall behind on my daily task list ...

More new books came in at Chapter Two in Redwood Falls!

"James" is a wonderful re-telling of "The Adventures of Huck Finn." It won the Pulitzer and was just released in paperback yesterday.

"The Mountains We Call Home" was also released yesterday and is another novel by the author of "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek." I can't wait to read this one.

Other new release that I'm pretty excited about is "Ghosts of Sicily" by the same authors of "Ghosts of Honolulu" which really don't have anything to do with ghosts but are nonfiction history books that read like novels and are about World War II.

Happy Earth Day!!!

I just finished reading "Braiding Sweetgrass" and I can't think of a more appropriate book for Earth Day than this one. Well, maybe "Sand County Almanac" which the author actually quotes several times in the book. Anyway, I found this book to be so amazing. It was the perfect blend of personal stories, Indigenous People wisdom and history, and also botany and ecology. It was very readable and also very soothing. I enjoyed every minute I spent with this book and am thankful for the information and insight that I gained while reading it.

I always have one or two copies of it in the store and I also have the young adult version. And I have used copies of "Sand County Almanac."

One of my goals is to do cool posts about books that I've read but it never seems to make it to the top of my daily "to do" list. Well ... maybe today it did. Actually, last night I was trying to tidy up at home and went through my leaning tower of books to see if there were any books that I could donate to my favorite bookstore. I love Elizabeth Strout books ... if you haven't ready her "Olive Kitteridge" books and you ever need just a good book about people and their lives I would suggest that you give them a try ....

Anyway, I'm slowing making my through all of Elizabeth Strout's books and I finished "The Burgess Boys" quite a while ago but as you can see on the right of the picture, there was a page that I marked because there was something there that I wanted to revisit. I'll be honest, sometimes I'll mark a spot in the book and when I go back to it later I'm a bit puzzled as to why I ever thought it was worthy of a sticky tab.

Not so here. Here is the quote that I marked, "And it was too late. No one wants to believe something is too late, but it is always becoming too late, and then it is."

It's a simple quote but just so darn true. And the older you get the truer the quote gets.

Anyway, thanks for listening and now I can remove the sticky note and give the book to the bookstore.
