Yes, you can get them wherever you prefer to buy your books! 📚📚📚

The library bought a 2nd copy of @freyamarske.bsky.social's CINDER HOUSE, halving the estimated wait time. Maybe another month? Also on hold since mid-October.

My longest current wait is for THE SPELLSHOP by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social

There were 73 people waiting when I put in a hold.

Thanks so much, Erin!!! 💜📚

📚 We asked our staff for their favorite books of 2025!

Our intern Erin's picks were:

📕 The Spellshop by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social
📕 A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
📕 The Thursday Murder Club by @richardosman1.bsky.social

What were your favorite books of 2025?

The front cover of a paperback advance reading copy of Sea of Charms (A Spellshop Novel) by Sarah Beth Durst shows a pathway leading through the forest to the beach and ocean, where a small sailing boat is accompanied by a sea serpent companion. A winged cat flies nearby.

The back cover reads: The next magical standalone adventure in the New York Times bestselling series that started with The Spellshop. A mistrustful sailor and a naive composer escape their restricted lives to embark on an adventure across the high seas, risking everything to fulfill their dreams. Even their hearts. A vibes map shows these items: Cozy fantasy, magical creatures, slow burn, fake dating, he falls first, winged cats!

In the midst of a stressful house move, I cannot imagine a better package to receive: an ARC of @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social's Sea of Charms! I adore Sarah's cozy fantasies, and I can already tell you that the opening of this one is *wonderful*.
