Sometimes, when I'm receiving new arrivals, the books just jump right out of the box and into my hands and then I stop everything I'm doing and read 10 pages and then I buy a new book to bring home. This is one of those times. Congrats on the new book @dskamper.bsky.social @thenewpress.bsky.social!

That's an unmatched one-two lunch combo if you're asking me. What a way to spend an afternoon in the Capitol City!

Today, I experienced the type of day downtown Saint Paul that I’ve been dreading ever since starting to work down there: I couldn’t stop myself from buying both Ruam Mit AND a new book at Subtext over lunch.

Monday night (9/15, 7pm) at the bookshop, meet the author of APOSTLE'S COVE, William Kent Krueger!

Always one of our favorites to hear talk about process and craft, plus he's a helluva storyteller!

Sometimes you open a box and you're so excited to see a book that you squeal a little bit. Can't wait to read this one. A page-turning thriller about the dark side of our never ending wars and their terrifying reverberations on our society.

We must preserve the US Postal Service because UPS or FedEx would never do this.
