#bookstore life

Our personal list of 2020’s best-selling fiction (available online, of course).

How many have you read? What are you reading?

A little bit of book spine poetry to get us through these worrying times.

As of today, we will be shortening our hours from 10-6, but we are still open! Books will get anyone through social isolation (and we also have puzzles, and activity books for the younger set).

Don’t want to leave the house more than necessary? We have a webstore (blackbondbooks.com)! We take payment over the phone!  If you’re local, we might even deliver depending on location!

There’s no need to fall behind on your reading and every reason to get a little ahead. (And don’t you deserve a new book? We think so.)

Can you hear that? It’s us screaming in excitement about March’s releases!
