We are just going to ignore the fact that it’s snowing today on New Book Tuesday in Vermont…

❄️ “In Trees: An Exploration” by Robert Moor (NYT bestselling author of “On Trails”) is a wondrous new journey through the wilds of nature and the gnarls of history, exploring how trees can teach us to grow wise.

❄️ The King Arthur Baking Company is back with their newest title, “The Book Of Pizza”! This book is dedicated to the key elements of making pizza in any home oven, backyard oven or grill!

❄️ 24th Poet Laureate of the US Ada Limón, once again inspires us to see poetry as much more than just words. “Against Breaking: On the Power of Poetry” is a powerful force for healing, a call to action, and a vibrant celebration of humanity’s many voices.

Tune in next week for more new releases and hopefully no snow!

Happy New Book Tuesday & St. Patrick’s Day!

☘️ Asako Yuzuki is back with another chilling thriller, “Hooked”! It is a novel about obsession, female friendships, and the slow unraveling of two lives.

☘️ “The Fountain” by Casey Scieszka is a propulsive and deeply moving novel about eternity and mortality that asks what it would mean to live forever.

☘️ Ten heists. Ten suspects. A murder mystery only Ernest Cunningham can solve in this delightfully clever and twisty new novel by beloved author Benjamin Stevenson. “Everyone in This Bank is a Thief” is the next installment in the “Ernest Cunningham Mysteries” Series.

Thank you to everyone who wished us well on our one year anniversary! We hope to keep providing you all with excellent reading material for years to come!

One year ago, we opened the doors to Hyperbole Books with an eclectic mix of our favorite reads and big hopes for our small shop.

We braved things on our own for a bit, juggling the bookstore with our sibling shop . Then for a few months we were graced by the support of wonderful friends — one old, one new — who helped us get to know the interests and passions of many of our community members and strengthen our stock and our story. In late summer, the stars aligned and we welcomed a full-time member to the team.

If you’ve been in the shop over the last seven months, you’ve undoubtedly engaged with the absolute TREASURE of a human that is Liz Carr. Her depth of knowledge across every genre is astounding, and her recommendations are always spot on. She wears a zillion hats in her role as bookstore goddess and wears them with deep humility, kindness and patience (in particular with the crazy family she has found herself a part of with us.)

Liz: Thank you so very much for all that you do. You are very much the heart and soul of Hyperbole Books and we wholeheartedly share this amazing milestone with you!

And to all of YOU, thank you, thank you for your overwhelming support over the past year, for your passion for reading, and for the countless unofficial book-clubby conversations you have with us each day. We LOVE calling Richmond our home.
