Book News From Chapter2Books

Book news at Chapter2

Hello fellow Patch People,

I hope you are enjoying fall as much as I am. Such a beautiful time in Hudson. There are so many great books coming out lately. Too many to list but I'm going to take a stab at it anyway. Please feel free to pre order any time by calling 715-220-8818 or by email: Brian@chapter2books.com.

There's a little known author, maybe you've heard of him.....Stephen King? He's got a sequel out to The Shining called Doctor Sleep. On Tuesday 10/1. Someone who is famous for her memoir Eat, Pray, Love will have her first novel released, The Signature Of All Things. I really enjoyed reading an advanced copy. John Grisham's latest: Sycamore Row will be out 10/15. There will also be a sequel to Bridget Jones Diary by Helen Fielding 10/15, Mad About The Boy. I really hesitate to make lists like this because there is no way to cover all the amazing books coming out, especially because I'm only touching on best selling authors.

That said...in non fiction....Bill O'Reilly's latest Killing Jesus came out this week. Malcolm Gladwell's latest: David and Goliath will be out this Tuesday, 10/1.

There is a hot title coming out 10/8 for kids. The latest Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson book: The House Of Hades. Rick Riordan has written a few different series for young people that are great for reluctant readers and voracious readers and anyone in between! Other favorite children's authors with new books include Kate DiCamillo, Jacqueline West, a new Pete The Cat , a new Llama Llama, Dork Diaries, Ivy and Bean and Wimpy Kids- OH MY!

One other reason I hesitate to make lists like this is that it doesn't account for all the debut works by new authors and it doesn't really account for local authors either. Please stop down soon to browse. And chat too :)

We've had some fun new groups starting lately and will still welcome new members. The 3rd Thursday at noon group is going strong. They'll be discussing Red Bones by Anne Cleves on 10/17.

We have story time every Monday morning at 10:30 with stories, games and lots of fun. Our mystery reader's club meets every 2nd Wednesday. On October 9th they'll be discussing The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler at 7pm.

The Regional Reads group is starting out with a great book, Louise Erdrich's National Book Award Winner: The Round House. It is a wonderful book that just released in paper this week. Join us for that group Sunday, 10/20 at 3pm.

All book groups who register with us receive 15% off the price of their group's picks. Whenever you attend one of our in store groups you receive a free advanced reader copy of an upcoming book as our thanks to you.

Chapter2Books is participating in two national events the first week in October. First up is Read For The Record on October 3rd.

Read For The Record is a national campaign to promote literacy. On October 3rd people all across the country will be reading Otis by Loren Long.


Each year, the campaign has shines a national spotlight on America's early
education achievement gap .Since 2006, the campaign has:

Engaged 9 MILLION children
Raised more than $8 MILLION for early education programs
Provided more than 1.2 MILLION books for children in low-income neighborhoods

Previous books read have included:
Llama Llama Red Pajama, The Little Engine That Could, Corduroy, The Snowy Day etc.

Chapter2Books will have a sign up sheet at the counter that your child can sign to pledge to read Otis on 10/3. By signing you'll receive 25% off one children's book of your choice and enter a drawing to win a prize.

We have a great author event on Saturday October 5th that you won't want to miss. Patrick Bettendorf, beloved owner of Ruby and Sugar will bring the dogs and the books he wrote about their lives in to meet everyone at noon. Ruby's Tale is a wonderful book about the very important life this rescue dog has lived.

Coincidentally that Saturday is also the 3rd annual Star Wars Reads Day. I haven't gotten a chance to ask Patrick if Ruby has ever watched Star Wars but I bet if she has, she's a fan. I also bet that if your young one wanted to read a Star Wars book to Ruby on that Saturday she would love it.

We'll have a TON of great Star Wars give aways that Saturday. Posters, bookmarks, activity sheets, buttons, stickers, the works.

Let's see.....what else is new? Well.....we are having a huge sale. Call it a Fall Sale, Clearance Sale, Customer Appreciation, whatever you want but come down and take advantage of big savings in the next few weeks.

We're also increasing the inventory of used books; so look for bargains there.
