Look at what has LANDed at the bookstore - the latest Maggie O'Farrell novel! 😍

According to Jean, "Maggie O’Farrell’s gorgeous prose transports the reader from the written page to mid-1800s Ireland in the times before and after the Great Hunger. In her most expansive novel yet, we witness the lives of cartographer Tomás, tasked by the British to chart the Irish shoreline, his wife Seraphina, and their offspring Liam, Enda, Rose, and Eugene as hard times and necessity takes them to the ends of the Earth and back."

We have limited quantities of the Exclusive Indie Edition of Land; the long anticipated new novel by Maggie O'Farrell! So stop by today, pick up your own copy, and have a chat with Jean about the wonders of a Maggie O'Farrell novel!

🎊✨Happy 50th Anniversary, !!!✨🎊

We applaud and celebrate our dear friends, neighbors, and suppliers of chalk markers, fancy fountain pens, art supplies, friendly conversations, and so much more!

We look forward to continuing to spend our art supply budget at Wet Paint for at least another 50 years!

For those who haven't been to the store yet, now is a great time to go - they have their annual sidewalk sale happening all weekend long!
[alt: a beautifully chaotic collage of photos of the Wet Paint logo, and chalk markers with doodled faces, and star and heart cutouts scattered across the collage. There is also the message of "Happy 50th Anniversary, Friends!"]

No shade, all swag. 😎
Stay cool, like Billy here, and treat yourself to a pickle car hat! 🥒🚗

You can find these Richard Scarry hats on the same shelf as our Peanuts inspired t-shirts (also modeled by Billy here), located near the front of the store!
[alt: a large bust of William Shakespeare, aka Billy, is rocking a green corduroy hat with a pickle car on it, tilted ever so slightly. He is also wearing the blue variant of our current style of Next Chapter Booksellers t-shirt, which is inspired by the Peanuts comics by St. Paul artist, Charles Schulz. ]

Bros of all genders! Come forth, and with great haste, and take pride and claim to a signed copy of BROMANTASY by local author - complete with glorious sprayed edges! (while stock lasts!)

P.S. This is also going to be a romance book club pick later this year, so you might as well get it now. Just sayin'....
[alt: a most majestic stack of Bromantasy by Maire Roche stands proudly in the glowing sunlight, highlighting bright pink sprayed edges that exclaim "BRO". A top the stack is a copy facing the camera showing off a "signed copy" sticker as well as the incredible tag line "Two Heroes. One Brain Cell."]
