Each month for 6 or 12 months (starting the month after subscription purchase), subscribers will get to choose a book from a list of some of our favorites!

This is a great way to get book recommendations, try new titles, grow your library, or just motivate to stay up on reading.

Selected titles will range from new releases to classics, fiction to non-fiction and everything in between.

Wow, what a year! What a terrifying, devastating, inspiring, wonderful year. Like most of you, I’m more than ready to put 2020 behind us and not look back. But, amid all the craziness of this past year, there were some bright moments at Maria’s Bookshop that I think deserve some reflection.

First, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting Maria’s Bookshop this year. Thank you for shopping local during a year when it was more important than ever, and also harder to do so than ever. And thank you for brightening our days at Maria’s by showing up with kindness and a ceaseless desire to read. The community support this year has blown us away, and we can’t thank you enough.

We also accomplished some amazing, creative things at Maria’s Bookshop in 2020. Our renovations turned out better than any of us could’ve imagined, we built a garden on Main Ave, and we launched some exciting new programs like our Book-A-Month Subscription program.

           Finally, through it all, we were able to continue the simple practice of excellent bookselling. We participated in social justice movements by connecting readers with books like How to Be an Antiracist and Caste: The Origins of our Discontents, we helped customers get outside with our #1 bestselling book of the year, Hiking Trails of Southwest Colorado, and we provided an escape from reality with great new fiction like Mexican Gothic and How Much of these Hills is Gold. I hope we connected each of you with a great new book in 2020, but if we haven’t, it’s not too late! We’ll be here until 5pm tonight!

Until next year,

Evan
