A husband and wife are vacationing on a beach in Nigeria, they approach two
young African sisters who  are being threatened by local police officers.
Fast forward to the United States and the couple's home, as one of the sisters
appears, asking for help. I thought the book was horrible because of the
horror it holds, but also sweet, funny and dear. $24.00

Hanna
Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, is offered the job of a
lifetime: analysis and conservation of the famous Sarajevo Haggadah,
which was rescued during the Bosnian war. When Hanna discovers a series
of tiny artifacts in the book's ancient binding, she begins to unlock
its mysteries. Geraldine Brooks (author of March and Year of Wonders )
has constructed a marvelously intertwined narrative with one strand
tied to the contemporary world and the other leading us back into
European history, into wars and inquisitions and family tragedies, all
of this making up a vividly narrated, powerfully emotional quest.
$15.00 Accompanied by a folding map of the global journey of the Sarajevo Haggadah, as imagined in the book (while supplies last)

Meet Deek, our Betta Fish! |
Among
the many suggestions submitted as
potential names for the Inklings Betta Fish, our staff members have
voted and selected Deek.
Deek is the nickname of one of the
original members (Ivory Watson) of the group The Ink Spots. Isn't that
clever? LuAnn from Othello submitted the winning entry, and she will
receive a $20 gift certificate from Inklings.
In a close second,
Ray submitted the name Finn, which we loved as well. In fact, Susan
has decided to give that moniker to her own pet Betta. Ray will
receive a $5 gift certificate for his suggestion.
Our thanks to those of you who took the time to submit your clever and thoughtful recommendations! Come by soon and meet our very own Inkspot, Deek!
