Season Greeting card by Edward Gorey.
Dear Book Lovers,
Welcome to our holiday newsletter!
Enclosed are some of this years best books chosen by the staff of Book Beat, a Christmas interview with the Queen of romance Beverly Jenkins, a year-end roundup of small press faves with Tom Bowden, and a repost from 2012: A Strange Necessity: on Rebecca West and James Joyce.
In this often unsteady world, books can offer us a unique escape and the chance to explore new perspectives. This season, consider the profound impact of sharing literary treasures with your loved ones. A well-chosen book has the power to ignite imagination and understanding, making this festive season truly special. We are pleased to offer a season of great new books. Please have a look at our suggestions.
Children’s books have the unique ability to spark imagination and foster a lifelong passion for learning. At Book Beat, we take pride in our thoughtfully curated selection of children’s literature, offering a diverse range of stories that entertain, educate, and inspire. Give the gift of enchanting tales and valuable life lessons to the young minds in your life. Join us in creating lasting memories through the magic of books this holiday season.
Recently we had a store visit with Detroit Free Press columnist Neal Rubin (AKA Captain Bookstock) to discuss some of our favorite new releases. The recording is available on Bookstock’s facebook page.
In case you’re a long distance reader or don’t have the time to browse, consider a Book Beat gift certificate. They can be purchased with ease and redeemed anytime instore or online.
Also new at Book Beat is our Zine section, displayed near our card and stationary asile. We hope to add new Zine titles monthly.
Cheers to a season of inspiration and thank you for supporting indie bookstores!
Wishing everyone good health, great books, and a saner more just world for everyone. Imagine Peace!
~Cary, Colleen and the Book Beat staff
