But the party doesn't end there. November 9th is Neighborhood Toy Store Day , and our very own Shannon has planned some special activities (like make-your-own Thinking Putty ) and games for those who stop by... As for authors, we're pleased to have Erin Morris (11/2) and Dolly Viscardi (11/9) joining us for storytime in the coming weeks.

We're also pleased to announce a special, Private Shopping experience starting November 2nd! For just $50, Mariana will meet you for coffee at Stella's (on us!)

Yes, we can all agree that adorable fuzzy felines paired with stacks of books is a winning combination. And society tells us that the Venn diagram of cat lovers and book lovers has a large area of overlap. But dogs are just as likely as cats to be a calm, quiet companion while you read, especially old dogs. See also: Cats and Books

The Silence Between Us
by Alison Gervais

This book was sweet, poignant, and at times funny. A wonderful glimpse into the life of a Deaf teenager, touching on some important topics.

by Cassidy
The Chain
by Adrian McKinty

The Chain was fast paced and gripping, to say the least. Every time I thought I knew what would happen next, McKinty surprised me with a twist that kept me on the edge of my seat. His characters were heartfelt and likable, and I even found myself rooting for the bad guys a time or two. All this combined with an action packed ending make this book a must read thriller for me.  by Katlyn

Reading: Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera

Mariana says:   This book is fantastic. It examines identity, brownness, queerness, and white privilege in a way that is both hard-hitting and hilarious. I had been dying to read it for years (it was originally self-published), and it didn't disappoint.

NEW TIME!!!

Reading: Some Places More Than Others by Renée Watson

Newbery Honor author Renée Watson explores a family’s relationships and Harlem—its history, culture, arts, and people. A powerful story about family, the places that make us who we are, and how we find ways to connect to our history across time and distance.
