It looks like the weather is (finally) taking a turn for the chillier, and we are officially entering the holiday season! Here’s what you can expect at Griffeys’ Book Emporium in the month of November:

What’s New in Store

-Christmas books have arrived! We polled our followers and found that you all want Christmas books early this year. So as of November 1st, Christmas books are on the shelf! Come grab something festive to enjoy as we anticipate the holiday season.

-Big sticker restock! If you love our bookish stickers, you’re in luck: we just did a huge restock so there are tons to choose from! Decorate your laptop, water bottle, notebook, and more in bookish style.

-Reminder: we shelve new (used) books every week! Whether it’s vintage finds or recent bestsellers, we shelf fresh picks across the store every week. If you haven’t visited in a while, stop by and see what’s new. You might just find your next favorite read!
