New and Notable

Looking for inspiration for the New Year?  Scroll down for a collection of titles that will motivate you to see your resolution through.

But first, here are five bonus resolutions that require personalized recommendations.  Stop by, and a bookseller will help you find a book that fits!

1. Read a book about a character who is different from you in some way (e.g. race, gender identity, nationality, etc.)
2. Read a book in a genre you've never read before.
3. Read a book that will inspire you to take action on an issue that's important to you.
4. Read a book by a Vermont author whose work you haven't read before.
5. Read a book about an activity you've never done, or an experience you've never had.

Once you find a title you love, you can order online or give us a ring so we can put a copy on hold (or on order) for you. Not all books featured on our website are necessarily in stock at all of our bricks-and-mortar locations, but we're always happy to special order a book for you to pick up at the store. Special orders almost always come in quickly, and don't involve any extra fees.
