📗 The Annual Migration of Clouds
By Premee Mohamed

In post–climate disaster Alberta, a woman infected with a mysterious parasite must choose whether to pursue a rare opportunity far from home or stay and help rebuild her community.

The world is nothing like it once was: climate disasters have wracked the continent, causing food shortages, ending industry, and leaving little behind. Then came Cad, mysterious mind-altering fungi that invade the bodies of the now scattered citizenry. Reid, a young woman who carries this parasite, has been given a chance to get away — to move to one of the last remnants of pre-disaster society — but she can't bring herself to abandon her mother and the community that relies on her. When she's offered a coveted place on a dangerous and profitable mission, she jumps at the opportunity to set her family up for life, but how can Reid ask people to put their trust in her when she can't even trust her own mind?

With keen insight and biting prose, Premee Mohamed delivers a deeply personal tale in this post-apocalyptic hopepunk novella that reflects on the meaning of community and asks what we owe to those who have lifted us up.

We will be OPEN but closing early for the holiday.

Our hours this weekend are:
Fri, July 3: 11am - 5pm
Sat, July 4: 10am - 5pm

📙 Taiwan Travelogue
By Yáng Shuāng-Zǐ
Translated by Lin King

May 1938. The young novelist Aoyama Chizuko has sailed from her home in Nagasaki, Japan, and arrived in Taiwan. She’s been invited there by the Japanese government ruling the island, though she has no interest in their official banquets or imperialist agenda. Instead, Chizuko longs to experience real island life and to taste as much of its authentic cuisine as her famously monstrous appetite can bear.
 
Soon a Taiwanese woman—who is younger even than she is, and who shares the characters of her name—is hired as her interpreter and makes her dreams come true. The charming, erudite, meticulous Chizuru arranges Chizuko’s travels all over the Land of the South and also proves to be an exceptional cook. Over scenic train rides and braised pork rice, lively banter and winter melon tea, Chizuko grows infatuated with her companion and intent on drawing her closer. But something causes Chizuru to keep her distance. It’s only after a heartbreaking separation that Chizuko begins to grasp what the “something” is.
 
Disguised as a translation of a rediscovered text by a Japanese writer, this novel was a sensation on its first publication in Mandarin Chinese in 2020 and won Taiwan’s highest literary honor, the Golden Tripod Award. Taiwan Travelogue unburies lost colonial histories and deftly reveals how power dynamics inflect our most intimate relationships.

📚🎒 Adult Book Fair returning for a summer edition! This Saturday! June 6! From 11-3 at the Party Suites on S Washington!

We will be in the kids section carrying books for all ages, plus our usual selection of stickers, bookmarks, and tote bags for both kids and adults!

Make sure to stop by! Our 6th St store will remain open :)

The San Jacinto parking lot will be closed for the duration of the Route 66 Festival (from today, 6/4 - 6/13) to allow for food trucks in the evenings.

If you're visiting our store, there is still free street parking all up and down 6th, including directly in front of our store (though the street section in front of the parking lot is handicapped only and a no parking bus stop!)

There is also the Heal the City lot directly behind our building on 7th - Heal the City closes at 5 so there should be open parking in the evenings! Please be mindful of parking there during the day as it is intended for patients seeking healthcare!
