Much as we would love to just surprise you, we just have to offer a little glimpse of the season ahead. We\u2019re getting pretty excited!<\/p>\n

First, here is a snapshot of our forming writer\u2019s space! If you happen to be nearby, you can sneak upstairs for a test run. No wifi yet, and resources are not complete, but it is definitely a pleasant spot.<\/p>\n

Nearly-ready, waiting, and well-lit!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For events, writers will soon be able to sign up for our first Reading and Writing group, a very relaxed evening of reading our work aloud. And readers can sign up NOW for the Fall Book Club<\/a>! On the evening of Thursday, October 4, we’ll be discussing\u00a0The Night Circus<\/em> by Erin Morgenstern, which has already\u00a0been well-received by customers for its dreamy prose, vividly imagined fantastic setting–and reputation as one of fall’s must-reads. Please sign up at the Meadowlark counter, or via email to info@cuppapulp.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fobbit, by David Abrams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A brief and cagey fall preview: we had a difficult time choosing from among the excellent books available this fall! Not to ruin the surprise completely, we\u2019ll simply say that our final list includes Depression-era romance, dragons, witches\u2014and a new release that is reputed to be the Catch-22 of the Iraq War,\u00a0Fobbit<\/em>by David Abrams.\u00a0The title refers to a derogatory term for soldiers that serve exclusively from the relative safety of the Forward Operating Base\u2014out of the line of fire. We are so excited about this debut novel, by a 20-year Army veteran and Army journalist. His Baghdad journals became the blueprint for his story of a soldier working to “spin” the war for the media back home.<\/p>\n

This post is about fall, but summer is not over yet! State of Wonder<\/em>\u00a0by Ann Patchett continues to wow our readers, which thrills us to bits, since Ann is practically our patron saint! A popular and critically lauded author, she made book selling news last year when she took over part of a defunct Borders in her native town of Nashville. On the virtues of a small bookstore, she said, “You can go in to a small store with an intelligent staff …. [and] well-displayed, well-chosen books, and come out with five books that you’re dying to read. And that’s what we’re going to do.”\u00a0(Do I hear an Amen?) Look for other Ann Patchett titles on our shelves, coming soon.<\/p>\n

We still have copies of local sensation Emmy Laybourne\u2019s Monument 14<\/em>, surprise debut author Chad Harbach\u2019s Art of Fielding<\/em>, and rising auteur Lauren Groff\u2019s Arcadia<\/em> available on our Summer Features table. Enjoy 10% off all new hardcovers now through September 30!<\/p>\n
