📚 BANNED BOOKS WEEK | OCTOBER 4–10 📚

Books have the power to challenge us, introduce us to perspectives different from our own, and start conversations that matter. That’s exactly why so many books have been challenged or banned.

This Banned Books Week, we’ll have a special display featuring an assortment of frequently challenged and banned books — and yes, you can always find banned books on our shelves at The Reading Rabbit Bookshop. 🐇📖

But buying a banned book is just the beginning.

📚 Read a banned book.

📣 Contact your local representatives.
🏛️ Volunteer and support your local libraries.
💬 Speak up for the freedom to read.

Literature should not be censored simply because someone disagrees with the ideas, perspectives, or opinions within its pages. We believe readers deserve the freedom to discover stories, encounter new perspectives, and decide for themselves what they want to read.

Read a banned book. Vote. Speak up.
Because the freedom to read is worth protecting. 📚✨

"You could be a mash-up of Buffy, Dylan Dog, and Constantine.”

“So a private eye who slays vampires and exorcises demons on the side?”

"Unexplained case files. Those were the cases that Allen liked the most, the ones that other detectives couldn't make heads or tails out of. Cases that were so far out there, that they seemed impossible. But facts don't lie. And if you follow the facts, eventually, you solve the case. But this case was not like any of the others.....So begins the case for Allen Miar, Detective of the Waco PD. A case that would lead him into the realm of the paranormal, the supernatural, the unexplained.....the Dark Side."

🌲 Author Meet & Greet & Book Signing with Ullrson Demori 🐺

Join us at The Reading Rabbit Bookshop on Saturday, October 10th from 12pm to 2pm for a special book signing with Ullrson Demori for his dark contemporary fantasy: Ullr’s Chosen: The Pale Ones and Welcome to Weird Sh*t Texas: A true account from Dogman Ranch!

"The deeper they dig, the less the old stories seem like stories. Something has been hidden on the ranch for a very long time, and Leonard is beginning to understand why his family worked so hard to keep its secrets.

Whatever is waiting in the woods has secrets of its own.

And now it knows he's looking."

&

"Dogman Ranch doesn’t announce itself.

It watches. It waits. And when you’re ready—or when it decides you are—it steps out of the treeline.

This is not a collection of campfire stories.

This is a firsthand account of growing up, leaving, and returning to a ranch in rural Texas where the paranormal was never an event—it was the environment."

Meet One of Our Youngest Local Makers!

We have something extra special in the shop at The Reading Rabbit.

These beautiful pieces of handcrafted metal jewelry are made by a local young artist who is just 11 years old!

Yes, ELEVEN.

Each piece is handcrafted with its own combination of hammered and textured metal, wirework, colorful stones, and tiny details—and we are so excited to give this talented young man a little corner of The Reading Rabbit to share his creativity with our community.

One of the things we love most about being a small, family-run bookstore is getting to champion the dreamers, makers, writers, artists, and entrepreneurs in our own community. And sometimes, those dreamers are only 11 years old.

His Titus Tidball Designs earrings are now available at The Reading Rabbit, and every purchase supports a young entrepreneur who is already learning what it means to create something with his own two hands and put it out into the world.

Come take a look—they’re even prettier in person. And maybe take home a pair so you can say, “I bought his jewelry back when he was eleven.”

Shop small. Support local. Encourage big dreams—especially when they start young.
