Confession:

The stack on the left is a sample from my ever-growing TBR pile (to be read).

The stack on the right is a handful of books I read this winter and absolutely loved.

The problem is that every time I finish a few books, I seem to bring home a few more. 😊

Now I need your help:

What’s the best book you’ve read so far this year?

And if you’ve read any of the books in these stacks, tell me what you thought!

We’re open Thursday, Friday & Saturday (10-4) and the shelves are full of great summer reading if you’re looking for your next favorite book.

Some of my favorite books for reluctant readers just arrived back in stock. 🎣📚

Kevin Lovegreen’s Minnesota-written hunting & fishing adventure books have been a HUGE hit — especially with kids who don’t usually get excited about reading.

High-interest stories, approachable reading level, and perfect for summer cabin/lake reading.

Ages 7–12-ish, but especially great for those “I hate reading” kids who just haven’t found the right book yet. 😉

Open Friday & Saturday this week!

🌧️ Rainy lake weekend days were made for bookstores. 💛

We’re open until 4 PM today if you’re out and about looking for a cozy stop — books, games, imagination, conversation, and a little wandering-around magic.

It’s been such a joy seeing families, kids, readers, and curious explorers filling the space again this weekend. 🥹

Stop by Friday or Saturday and find something to take to the lake, the porch, or the couch. ☀️😎
