Hardcover Fiction:
Exquisitely rendered and morally complex,
News of the World is a brilliant work of historical fiction that explores the boundaries of family, responsibility, honor, and trust. It is 1870: Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd does live readings to paying audiences hungry for news of the world. In Wichita Falls, he is offered a $50 gold piece to deliver a young orphan, Johanna, to her relatives in San Antonio. History, action, adventure, and two memorable characters are amazingly packed into this 209 page read.
Hardcover Non-Fiction:
Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. This story about the workings of the human mind is explored through the personalities of two fascinating individuals so fundamentally different from each other that they seem unlikely friends or colleagues. In the process they may well have changed, for good, mankind's view of its own mind.
Paperback:
Saints and spies, pirates and philosophers, artists and intellectuals: they all criss-crossed the grey North Sea in the so-called "dark ages," the years between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of Europe's mastery over the oceans. Now the critically acclaimed Michael Pye reveals the cultural transformation sparked by those men and women: the ideas, technology, science, law, and moral codes that helped create our modern world.
Middle Grades:
by Yona Zeldis McDonough
Set in France during WW II, this tale tells of Marcel, who rides his bike through the town delivering bread from his parents' bakery. The twist: he is also a spy, so along with the bread, he delivers information. Doing this could cost him his life. Not doing it could cost him everything else.

The holidays are rapidly approaching! In order to celebrate, we are hosting our very first outdoor holiday market! It is our hope that this is the beginning of a holiday market tradition that will continue to grow each year. We are thrilled to have 4 booths filled over the course of the next 11 days, with 14 amazingly talented local artisans and craftsmen. It will be a great way to find unique gifts at affordable prices, all while supporting local businesses.
