I had an amazing time at Book Expo America in New York City
a couple weeks ago. Not only did I come home invigorated, but I also brought back
boxes of advance readers copies from publishers, showing off the big books that
will be available in the fall, and autographed books that I plan to share with
you soon. I even found some great new gift ideas, both for kids and adults.
If you haven’t been
into the store lately, be sure to stop by in the near future to see some of
them, as well as the other new items that have been arriving from favorite vendors.
We now have building toys from a company called OGOBILD; new toys from Fat
Brain Toys, Eeboo, and Melissa & Doug; beautiful book ends and paperweights
from Midwest CBK; and some art kits from Faber-Castell that will be coming
soon. We’re stocking up on coloring books for adults and adding colored pencils
and markers for you to use with them. Also for adults, we have some great new
journals created from hand-made paper, my favorite of which bears a quote from
E. B. White that says, “Be obscure clearly.” I also recently placed an order
with Global Crafts, a Fair Trade company, so we have gorgeous hand-made jewelry
and gifts, many made from recycled materials. When you stop in, ask us to show
you some of these. If you mention that you read about them in this post, we’ll
give you 10% off any one item from any of the companies highlighted above through June 20.
