Staff Pick of the Week!
Ryan reads Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison
"It was very tempting to make my entire review simply: WEREWOLF BOOK! WEREWOLF BOOK! WEREWOLF BOOK!
"Yes, there is body horror, yes there is biting and howling and fur and general wolfy goodness, but to simply describe Such Sharp Teeth as a werewolf book is to do it a great injustice.
"Instead, I will tell you that not only is this a fantastically spooky werewolf book from one of my favorite writers (hang out with me long enough and the conversation will inevitably turn to my love of Rachel Harrison’s The Return), this is also a gorgeous examination of trauma and forgiveness and scars (both literal and metaphorical). Such Sharp Teeth explores things like loss of control, bodily autonomy, new life, transformations, and feminine rage. This is a gruesome and cathartic novel that grasped me in its claws and had me craving the next full moon."

Gibby loves our local authors, and he's especially excited to recommend a book that's officially out today called Maddie and Mabel Take the Lead, by friend of Gibson's Bookstore, Kari Allen! Happy Book Birthday, Kari!
"Best sisters Maddie and Mabel are back and navigating new firsts in the second book of this heartwarming series. Who does it right? Who does it best? Who goes first? Who follows? From climbing trees to dancing to starting school, the girls work through their differences together. Follow along with Maddie and Mabel as they approach new experiences with excitement and trepidation. Together, they have just the help they need to solve any new problems that come their way.
"An excellent follow-up to the applauded series debut Maddie and Mabel, the second book in this collection, Maddie and Mabel Take the Lead, continues the timeless themes of sisterhood and sibling relationships in writing that is reminiscent of Frog and Toad and with illustrations that are equally as enduring in their endearing relationship. Author Kari Allen and illustrator Tatjana Mai-Wyss have crafted another delightful installment of this early chapter book series. Readers will continue to be charmed by this touching tale of siblings and friendship."
