📚 These were the books our community brought home in May, and what a wonderful mix they are.

We’re especially excited to see several titles connected to recent and upcoming events at the shop, including June’s Fiction Book Club selection, “The Things We Never Say” by Elizabeth Strout, which was our bestselling title of the month.

Thank you for choosing to shop local and be part of our reading community.

Which of these have you read, loved, or added to your ever-growing TBR? 📖✨

Book vs. movie—who wins? 📖 📺

Join us this Wednesday night, May 20 at Celia Bookshop for a lively conversation comparing Project Hail Mary on the page and on screen.

We’ll be joined by Swarthmore College film professor Bob Rehak, who will lead a discussion exploring how the story translates from book to film—and what each version does best.

Whether you’ve read the book, seen the movie, or both, come be part of the conversation at 7 pm.
