May 25th @ 2:00 pm Marie Bostwick will sign her new book Between Heaven and Texas In a luminous spin-off to her heartwarming Cobble Court Quilts series, "New York Times"-bestselling author Bostwick delves into the life of one of her readers' favorite characters, Mary Dell Templeton, and her journey from a Texas ranch to becoming a wife, mother, and celebrated quilter.
Welcome to Too Much—where the women are strong-willed and the men are handsome yet shiftless. Ever since Mary Dell Templeton and her twin sister Lydia Dale were children, their Aunt Velvet has warned them away from local boys. But it’s well known that the females in Mary Dell’s family have two traits in common—superior sewing skills and a fatal weakness for men. June Events

Sponsored by the Washington Business Association During Community Day stop in at the Bookshop 1-3 pm to meet Wendell Minor, Illustrator who will be signing copies of The Eagles Are Back written by Jean Craighead George The American bald eagle, the national symbol of the United States, was once dangerously near to extinction. With the help of dedicated volunteers and decades of hard work, the eagle population made a dramatic comeback. This moving picture book tells the story of one boy who helped in the hatching of an American bald eaglet. Featuring vividly detailed paintings from landscape artist Minor, George's inspiring text will motivate readers of all ages to care for the environment and its many creatures. "Minor's paintings handsomely convey the eagles' impressive stature and the natural settings they inhabit...libraries and readers will welcome this engaging introduction to the iconic bird." - "School Library Journal" Sunday, June 2nd @ 2:00 pm Cathryn Prince will sign copies of her new book Death in the Baltic
More than 9,400 perished in the night--six times the number lost on the Titanic. Yet as the Cold War started no one wanted to acknowledge the sinking. Drawing on interviews with survivors, as well as the letters and diaries of those who perished, award-wining author Cathryn Prince reconstructs this forgotten moment in history. She weaves these personal narratives into a broader story, finally giving this WWII tragedy its rightful remembrance. "The story of the worst maritime disaster in history...Prince has scoured the planet for survivors, treating their harrowing stories with gentle empathy, from the first sickening bolts of the torpedoes to the chaos and terror of the ship's swift sinking as passengers fell into the freezing water, clambered for lifeboats and watched loved ones disappear in the tumult... An engaging study of a shocking tragedy."--"Kirkus Reviews"
