Hi book-loving friends,

We're testing out our website's blogging capabilities. So, while before we used to upload our podcast, Shelf Talking, and our video staff reviews onto our online literary magazine, The Ribbon, now we will be uploading that content and other store news here!

So stay tuned for more staff picks, store news, videos, podcasts, and more...

Each month, a different Literati Bookstore bookseller curates our small green table with their favorite books.

This month, it's Deb's turn! 

I look for something that's going to draw me in right away. Take me not necessarily to a different world, but put me in a particular mindset or a place or a time.

Check out this video below about Deb's green table selections! Many thanks to Ify Arinze for this video.
