Event Details

When bookselling is your career, it's easy to get bogged down in the quotidian like ordering, operations, payroll, events and to forget about why you got into this in the first place: the books! That’s where our new NAIBAhood Book Club comes in. It’s a labor of love from our board, and each board member (and bookseller) picked a book that means something to them to read along with you. Lots of backlist, nothing over 400 pages, and no obligation to join every month. So get into your pajamas, pour yourself a cup of tea and get ready to remind yourself why you do this. It’s for the BOOKS!

Our January leader will be Board President Hannah Oliver Depp of Loyalty Bookstores. Their selection is MURDER BY MEMORY by Olivia Waite. 

Escape into a cozy, queer mystery in space with this novella from genre genius Olivia Waite! A ship's detective is woken from their slumber just as a murder is committed and must find out exactly why they were awoken by the ship's computer, who exactly messed up the library of both books and human memory, and if her own programmer nephew is responsible... or (gasp) the really hot yarn store owner. Part mystery, part space odyssey vision of a possible future, all comfort this novella is a great start to your new year reading.
