3. From book clubs to pet adoption events to book donation drives for local nonprofits to fundraisers for local food pantries, we do our best to contribute to our neighborhood, city, and community. We haven’t once blocked the bike lane with a delivery vehicle.

Tomorrow is another humongous New Book Tuesday. Can you even imagine the conversation Kristen Arnett and John Green would have if they were next to each other IRL??? 😂📚
