And yes, the store will be open for business that day. |

Announcing our Retreat Schedule for 2018!
We’re pleased to announce the dates for our annual retreats! Our retreats are a gift you can give yourself—time away from your regular routine to relax, share thoughtful discussion with others about books we’ve all read, and enjoy great food which someone else has prepared! Themes, book titles, cost, and registration materials will be available soon.
Our Spring Retreat will be April 7, 10:00 to 4:00. We’ll be at the Jewel of the Northwoods, the B&B between Park Rapids and Menahga.
Our Fall Retreat will be October 26 to 28 at Our Lake Lodge, 10 miles north of Park Rapids.
Plan now to join us for one or both of these events.
Would you like to be a guest reviewer?
From time to time, our customers write reviews for the newsletter or for shelf talkers in the store. Would you like to be one of them? Pick a favorite book, or one which has moved you. Talk to Sally or Jen for more information.

Midwest Connection Picks
No Saints in KansasAmy Brashear
—PASTE Magazine
A young adult, fictional reimagining of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood and the brutal murders that inspired it. Gripping and fast-paced, this meticulously researched historical fiction will reinvigorate a new generation to Capote.
Amy Brashear was born in Arkansas and spent her elementary school years in Garden City, Kansas, just six miles from Holcomb. Amy heard about the Clutter family murders from a childhood friend, though it wasn’t until she read In Cold Blood that she finally understood their significance. No Saints in Kansas is her debut novel.
Alone on the Shield
Kirk Landers
"Tense and dramatic, absorbing from beginning to end, one of those precious tales that manages to be both a page-turner and a thoughtful novel of great depth and resonance."
—Booklist
Foreword review: "An adventure story mixed with a love affair set deep in the Canadian wilderness. A compelling mixture of adventure and romance, Alone on the Shield is a tightly focused novel that deftly speaks to growing older and the struggle for understanding."
Kirk Landers launched his professional writing career in the US Army, later entering the special-interest and trade magazine worlds. His magazines won more than a hundred awards for journalistic excellence, and he is a member of the Construction Writers Hall of Fame. He lives in the suburbs of Chicago.
Little i
Michael Hall
“A wonderfully clever and ultimately triumphant journey of self-discovery. Little i may be a mere cutout letter, but his humanity shines through.”
—New York Times Book Review
When Little i’s dot falls off, rolls down a hill, over a cliff, and into the sea, Little i sets out on a journey to rescue it. A charming, suspenseful, and wholly original picture book about the adventure of growing up from the acclaimed and bestselling creator ofRed: A Crayon’s Story and Wonderfall.
Michael Hall is an award-winning designer whose work has been widely recognized for its simple and engaging approach. He studied biochemistry and psychology at the University of Michigan and worked in biomedical research for several years before becoming a designer. He is the creator of several acclaimed picture books for children and lives with his family in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
A Year in the Wilderness
Amy and Dave Freeman
“The story of a great adventure in one of the planet's most gorgeous wildernesses--and with high stakes at risk in a fight to stave off a truly gross assault on its integrity. So many reasons to read this book!”
—Bill McKibben, author of Wandering Home
From National Geographic’s 2014 Adventurers of the Year, a passionate and beautifully illustrated account of a year in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. In visceral language and gorgeous photos, the Freemans show us the value of wilderness and why we must protect it.
Amy and Dave Freeman's expeditions have taken them over thirty thousand miles by canoe, kayak, and dogsled through some of the world's wildest places, from the Amazon to the Arctic. National Geographic named Amy and Dave Adventurers of the Year in 2014 and their images, videos, and articles have been published by a wide range of media sources.
