NWBooklovers.org is our new favorite website. It is intended for you the reader, we the booksellers and they, the publishers. We've made it our new homepage and we'd urge you to do the same. There is a wonderful, interactive feature there called One Nightstand, where you can share short reviews, notes about what you're reading or a favorite line from a book. Everyday, there will be four new book-related or quirky headlines that you might not see anywhere else.
There is a listing of bookstores in the Northwest so you can find the contact information for a store in another town and perhaps have a gift certificate sent to a relative there. You can read stories about individual stores - you'll find one in the January archives about Inklings Bookshop. It is really a wonderful site that we're proud to be connected with. We hope you will make it your homepage or at least visit it several times per week. You will find reviews, interesting articles about authors a fabulous list of other booksy links.
AND today, (Oct.25th) we made the front page, under the 'Tour a Store' section. Read the article here!

 Get your bookmarks out! It's time for Yakima Valley Reads, a community reading event. This year's selection is Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. In honor of Banned Book week, there was a reading from Fahrenheit 451 and other passages from banned books at YVCC earlier this week.
Linda Nixon, public programs librarian for the Yakima Valley libraries, hasn't read the book yet, but is looking forward to it. "As a librarian, it's interesting because it deals with intellectual freedom and Bradbury's vision of a future where people don't want to read because there are so many other things that take up people's time." There will be many upcoming events, such as fire safety storytimes for kids, altered book craft activities for teens and dystopian film showings. Author Chris Crutcher, one of the most frequently challenged young adult authors, will speak about censorship at the Allied Arts gallery at 7 p.m. Oct. 19. Books and event schedules will be available at all 18 Yakima Valley Libraries locations, thanks to a bequest from the estate of Frank and Janet Wibom. For more information, look under the events schedule at www.yvl.org. -Thanks to the Yakima Herald for this great article!
