Greetings!

We are happy to partnering with so many wonderful organizations and authors. We are highlighting just a few in this email: The Peninsula Friends of the Library Literary Escape and fundraiser, an event for a "perfect book" you won't want to miss, and Girlfriends Gabbing with Annabelle Gurwitch and Lian Dolan. See below for more details.

Check out our preorder page for some books we are anticipating in 2021. Included on this page you will find The Hill We Climb by inaugural poet Amanda Gorman and some of her other titles.

We also want you to know that we are reading some amazing books that will be published this year. Check out some of our Rave Reviews. For some of them, we will also have Signed First Editions. More on this can be found below.
While our storefront may be closed, our events remain open to everyone, and we continue to sell books via our website and customer pick-up. We thank you for your support and we hope you will continue to think of us when you are looking for a book or a new author to discover.

Stay Well,

Terry Gilman and Your CC Team
Girlfriends Gabbing

A recent LA Times article titled: "“Divorce, quarantine, Stage 4 cancer? Annabelle Gurwitch has to laugh…”
notes, “Gurwitch calls You’re Leaving When? ‘a love letter to the city’ of L.A. and ‘a book for those who have reinvented themselves at least a dozen times.’ In chatty, gimlet-eyed prose, she explores a certain glamorous but down-at-the-heels existence that SoCal’s house-poor but friend-rich know all too well.”

Join the conversation on April 8 with Annabelle & Lian Dolan -- and pick up your copy of You're Leaving When? today!
Terry's Favorite Book of 2021

Please join us on March 18, 2021 at 6:00PM PST when the author, Chris Whitaker, and his publisher, Amy Einhorn, discuss We Begin at the End. We Begin at the End went on sale yesterday and we have books in store, including custom bookplates.

Every now and again, I find the perfect book. A book with words that are so beautifully written that I want to dwell on every page and every paragraph, and with characters who are so artfully drawn that you journey with them as if they are friends or loved ones. This is one of those books!

A Literary Affair in Palos Verdes!

Their fundraising virtual Literary Weekend features a half dozen award-winning authors, and tickets to the gala can also include delicious dinner and wine options supporting local restaurants. The mission of the Peninsula Friends of the Library is to raise funds to support the Palos Verdes Library District and to build community awareness and enthusiasm for PVLD services, programs, and needs.
