What's your favorite wintertime read?. For Mallory, it will always be @UnheimlichManvr's chilling polar thrillers, ALL THE WHITE SPACES & WHERE THE DEAD WAIT. Or perhaps you lean more rom-com or cozy mystery, like something from this book stack? Let us know! @AtriaBooks

Happening now is a dinged & dented sale! Sometimes our books see some rough handling during shipping, and they show up a little dented or torn (but still very read-able!!), so we're offering them for 20%-40% off. Swing by and find something to hunker down with this weekend! 📚❄️

Weird fiction is a staple in this household - Cloe has been enjoying (freaked out by?) horror novella WALKING PRACTICE by Dolki Min this month. She cannot find a bookshelf to sit on that doesn't have something a little "weird" on it #MeowMonday @HarperViaBooks

In correspondence with Foundation author Isaac Asimov's birthday, Jan 2 is Nat'l Science Fiction Day! Science-fiction is a genre of many worlds, exploring the farthest reaches of the universe and the innermost recesses of the human mind. Which stories spark your imagination?

Henry Owl says “Come in and know me better, man!” There’s still plenty of cozy wintertime reads to be read! Bookseller Alice is partial to SOME LIKE IT COLD, a small town romance with hallmark movie/Gilmore Girls vibes and an autistic protagonist! @BooksandChokers @WednesdayBooks

If you or someone on your holiday shopping list is fond of suspenseful ambiguity, @JuliaArmfield has you covered. Though set in the present, Private Rites & Our Wives Under the Sea evoke bygone eras ruled by magic & mystery. Perfect reading for the winter solstice! @Flatironbooks

Thanks to buyer Lane’s expert curation, our nonfiction sections are stuffed with hidden gems, including a book that digs into the history of gems. Niche histories are so cool — who wouldn’t be thrilled to learn about liminal urban spaces or the ideology of Paradise Lost?
