Sign Up Your Team,
Build a Puzzle, Win Prizes
We love puzzles almost as much as we love books, so when we heard that one of our favorite puzzlemakers, Ravensburger, wanted us to do a puzzle tournament, we jumped at the chance. On Saturday, March 28th, starting at 11:00am, teams of four will participate in a 500-piece puzzle building contest. The first team to build their puzzle, or come closest, wins a host of prizes! To sign up your team (or just yourself to be placed on a team), email us at Marketing@TheBookies.com!

Fresh Ink
We've got lots of new paperbacks, new series, and new wonders for you to behold!
This is an endlessly cute book filled with wonder and imagination. What happens when a boy grows 'dragonfruit' in his family's garden? Well, a dragon grows, what else? Now he has to hide the dragon from his family, his cat, and the world at large.
Daisy Jones & the Six (paperback)
Taylor Jenkins Reid
Daisy Jones spent weeks on the bestseller list last year, and the paperback is sure to be a hit again. This NPR Pick for Book of the Year 2019 is a great read. Whatever happened to the Daisy Jones & The Six band? Rock out and find out here.
Sutherland's bestselling blockbuster, Wings of Fire, is back, but in the past. This new book looks at the history of Pyrrhia through new eyes. Sure to be a must-read for every fan when it hits our shelves on March 3rd!
We loved this when it came out in hardback, and we love now that it's coming out in paperback. Young Tilly has spent time in her grandparents' bookshop since her mother vanished, right up until all her favorite characters, like Anne of Green Gables, start showing up at the shop. What do they know about her missing mom? Make sure and read this one before the second volume comes out this May!
This National Book Award Finalist is out in paperback after a huge debut in 2019. This book of high fantasy, described by the author as a "Black Lord of the Rings", features a hunter searching for a lost boy.

The Game Board (with Bookie Karla)
Ages 10 & Up OR 16 & Up
This. Game. Is. WILD! It's a trivia game that can be played in real time. What do we mean? You can play either the regular version, just the cards in the box, or an online version using Google where you get current answers for things like, "What is the temperature in Costa Rica right now?" and online tasks. It's a great way to get tech-focused kids involved in a game, and a fun way to learn some real world trivia as it happens! Want to see a video explaining it all?
