Thank you SO MUCH to all of our customers and to our community for supporting us. We would not be here without you. This week, we have been open for 6 whole months! This is very exciting!
March is a very busy month. It is so jam-packed full of literary holidays that we can’t possibly get to them all! In this newsletter, you’ll find our usual location update, Spring Book Recommendations, Women’s History Month, Irish-American Heritage Month, and a vendor update. Please let us know if any of our links don’t work!

Vendor Update
Hand-spun Yarn
TBR Books is proud to present hand-spun yarn from Rownan, who lives locally in O’Fallon. These yarns are hand-spun on a drop spindle using art batts from other creatives and spun from natural and recycled fibers. They’re absolutely beautiful, so if you have any projects and need some yarn, come check them out!
Wire-wrapped Pendants
We now have wire-wrapped pendants made locally, as well! They’re hanging out on the little table in the front of the store. There are a variety of stones and sizes, and they range in price from $12-$24.
