Happy Spring! We have really been enjoying warmer weather and seeing flowers again, and we hope you have, too! Thank you so much for coming out to support us so far this season! We are so grateful to be part of a literature-loving community.
Location Update
The building is SO CLOSE to being ready! Thank you so much to everyone for your patience and your enthusiasm.

You can also check out our Facebook for up-to-date information!

We’ve got a Golden Ticket!
Libro.fm sent TBR Books a Golden Ticket! We are so excited! On Saturday, April 25th, the Golden Ticket will be hidden in our store. If you find it, it’s yours! You’ll win 12 free audiobook credits to use at Libro.fm.
National Poetry Month
This year is the 30th anniversary of National Poetry Month, which was started by the Academy of American Poets in 1996. Since we have such limited space, our poetry section is quite small (but mighty). If you have a favorite poet and want to order their book, please let us know by sending us a Facebook message or stopping by the store. We’re happy to order for you, and we are often inspired by your selections!
Spring Recommendations
Since it’s still Spring, we have added to our Spring Recommendations from last month! Earth Day is April 22, and Arbor Day is April 24th, so we’ve shared more nature books in our recommendations for the season. Please click the banner below to find them.
Arab-American Heritage Month
April is Arab-American Heritage Month, which began in 2017 and was officially recognized in 2022. Please click the banner below to find our recommendations.
Autism Acceptance Month

Our AI Policy: As always, nothing on our website has been written or made using generative AI. We do use Canva for our graphics, but we try to avoid their AI features as much as possible. It’s getting increasingly difficult to avoid genAI features, so sometimes accidents happen, but it is important to us to avoid it. You can find out more about our AI policy on our About page.
