Staff Pick of the Week!
Ryan reads Jackal by Erin E. Adams. This is Ryan's entry into our January 2023 Bookseller of the Month Handselling Contest!
"If you read and loved Cherish Farrah by Bethany C. Morrow at my recommendation, let this be your next read.
"Jackal is a social horror novel that is forever going to be mentioned in the same breath as Get Out, and that is incredibly well deserved.
In Johnstown, PA, if you heard something or saw something in the woods? No you didn’t. Ignore the shadow, and it can’t get you. When it calls your name, don’t turn. When it snaps a branch next to you, don’t turn. When you see something out of the corner of your eye, don’t focus on it. If you give the shadow any attention at all, it will be the last thing you ever do.
The shadow creature in the woods is terrifying, yes, but the true horror of this novel is the racism soaked into the very earth of the town, and the lengths the white residents will go to in order to keep the Black residents in their “proper place”.
"This novel is exquisite and horrifying and is sure to stay on the forefront of your mind long after you’ve finished it."

Gibby's New Year's Resolution is to nap more, and cause slightly less chaos. He's got the napping part down, at least.
Gibby's pick this week is the second in a picture book series that everyone at Gibson's adores. The Kindest Red by Ibtihaj Muhammad and S. K. Ali, illustrated by Hatem Aly, is the follow-up to staff favorite The Proudest Blue.
"It’s picture day and Faizah can’t wait to wear her special red dress with matching hair ribbons, passed down from her mother and sister. Faizah’s teacher starts the day by asking her students to envision the kind of world they want, inspiring Faizah and her friends to spend the day helping one another in ways large and small.
"But when it’s time for sibling pictures, Faizah realizes that she and her older sister, Asiya, don’t match like her classmates do with their siblings. With help from her classmates inspired by Asiya’s hijab, Faizah finds that acts of kindness can come back to you in unexpected ways.
"From Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad and fellow bestselling, award-winning creators S.K. Ali and Hatem Aly comes a heartfelt exploration of friendship, faith, and the joy of spreading kindness wherever you go."
