As we ready ourselves for the onslaught of holiday shopping, we thought we’d better remind you that Christmas comes on Saturday this year – which means one less “full day” to do that last-minute shopping. That, coupled with this little hassle you might’ve heard of in the news – supply chain crisis – has local businesses working extra hard to make sure we all have what you need.
Our distributors are warning that when it comes to special orders, the last “safe” day to order something not in stock will be Friday, December 10th. We’ll keep you updated on all that. But for now, book orders are being placed and arriving daily.
Here’s what’s coming up (huge week ahead) and DO JOIN US Tuesday for book club as we chat about Liane Moriarty’s newest hit, Apples Never Fall.
