Just a quick note to announce that we have received a shipment of journals and 2010 day planners from one of our favorite publishers just in time for the holidays. They come in many beautiful designs and shapes and the last time we had these dayplanners they sold out quickly so if you're interested please come take a look.
Also recently received in the Portland bookstore are the new books by Stephen King, Barbara Kingsolver , Patricia Cornwall, John Connolly, Dave Eggers and Jane Goodall.
This year's holiday catalog should be hitting you mail boxes soon and I hope you'll take a few minutes to take a look at the great variety of titles featured this year. I am already getting requests for these titles so if there are any you know you're going to want please let me know so I can hold them for you. I hope you all can come to the USM Bookstores' Holiday Party and sale on Dec 2 from 2-5 pm in the Portland and Gorham stores and 1-4 pm in the Lewiston-Auburn store. We'll have great food and free gift wrapping available!
I just finished reading the new Patricia Cornwell - The Scarpetta Factor and though not one of her absolute best I did find it fast paced and enjoyable.
Congratualtions to Maine's own Philip Hoose for winning the 2009 National Book Award for Children's books for his book Claudette Colvin. I am expecting more copies of this book by the end of the week so if you want one please let me know.
Happy reading!!!
