I’ve had a couple Butte authors come into the store recently, and it made me realize… I often written about local artists who bring their work in, but I haven’t given a shout out to the authors who introduce their work to the store. How negligent of me! So, here are some books I haveContinue reading “Thank You Local Authors”

Store Mask Policy
On March 24th, Butte is lifting its mask mandate. Because of this, I feel the need to make an announcement. I feel a little awkward because it is not my personality to get squealy-excited about announcing personal news. In fact, I normally just keep my parents updated on stuff and figure they’ll spread the wordContinue reading “Store Mask Policy”
New Releases
I love getting a box of new NEW books. All of these titles have been released in the last few months, and the covers are pretty intriguing, if I do say so myself!
Book of the Week: Femme Magnifique
Written by Gerard Way, Kelly DeConnick, and Gail Simone, this anthology describes the true stories of 50 powerful women. Graphic novels are increasingly popular, and this one in particular pays excellent homage to how females can impact science, politics, and the arts!
Baseball Books
My husband informs me that baseball fans are actively cheering for their respective teams, even though baseball season hasn’t started? There’s some sort of pre-season? [Gasps of horror as certain family members wonder how it is we are related after I so publicly reveal my baseball ignorance.] So… maybe it would be appropriate to putContinue reading “Baseball Books”

How Novel is happy to include new artwork in the form of cards and coasters created by Butte’s own Barbara Lindquist. Also, be sure to sign up for a drawing class taught by this artist on April 13th as she shares her passion for Zentangles!

Mystery/Thriller Collections
I re-arranged the store, and my till now faces the Mystery/Thriller section. It is our most well-stocked genre, thanks to generous donations over the last couple months. I was noticing a couple authors in particular that take up a decent chunk of space on the shelves, and thought, “I should highlight these authors in myContinue reading “Mystery/Thriller Collections”
Friendly February Reminders
For the shortest month in the year, How Novel’s calendar has never been so full! Firstly, remember that the due date for submitting art for Youth Art Month is on February 13th! (My initial announcement said February 14th, but that’s a Sunday so we’re closed. If you were depending on having that extra day, letContinue reading “Friendly February Reminders”
