Record of the Month Club

Every month, we nominate a bookseller-endorsed LP for Record of the Month and promote the album, band, and label throughout the course of the month.We put heavy emphasis on local and/or off-the-beaten track artists and labels with the intention of bringing support and attention to our community's vibrant creative landscape.

At 7pm on the last Saturday of the month we host a FREE listening party at our 9th Ave location and spin the album in-store.

So Many Books, So little Time. We can help with that! Apple-A-Month Club

Apple-A-Month Club

Sometimes the hardest part of picking your next book to read is the choosing itself! Our Apple-A-Month club is a subscription service that sends you 1 new release fiction paperback per month.

The books are hand picked by our staff and most always from a small press so that 1) we can support these books that we believe in that do not have big publisher marketing, and 2) we can be confident that you do not already have this on your shelf.

September Bookseller's Choice

Each month, we select a brand new book that we love so much that we guarantee you'll love it too.

For this month, we have chosen "Still Born" by Guadalupe Nettel.

Still Born Cover Image.

Still Born

I've loved Nettel's work since reading her short story collection Natural Histories and have read everything of hers since. Last summer, I was too impatient to wait for the English release of Still Born, so I went to the library to check out the original Spanish edition. After reading it, I knew I would revisit the book once Rosalind Harvey's translation hit the shelves.

Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, Still Born builds a nuanced portrait of two friends who embrace or reject the motherhood in various ways. Many narratives on motherhood fail to acknowledge ambivalence toward it, but Nettel's straighforward prose captures that emotion and interrogates the assumptions and expectations surrounding caretaking.

Both tender and philosophical, Still Born is a read for fans of Valeria Luiselli, Shelia Heti, and Rachel Cusk.
