Staff Books Reviews

The Solitude of Prime NumbersNew reviews, new reviews, new reviews, and the old ones too. Isn't most of the point of coming to our page to see what we're reading right this very second? Ok, that would be difficult to keep updated, so instead we've collected up the book reviews that run in our monthly flyer - newest first. We've also organized them by staff member in case there's a particular person whose picks you love. Enjoy.

Top Picks of the Year

The HelpWe all love end of the year Top Ten lists - who doesn't? Each December while the store is full and the books are flying, we are also agonizing over our favorite books of the year and how to rank them. The number one position is all-important because that helps to determine our Queenie Award Winner (our store favorite book of the year).
