Not Your Mother's Book Club Blog
Books Inc., the West’s oldest independent bookstore, started Not Your Mother’s Book Club™
with one big idea: to bring the best writers in the world to the best
readers in the world. And we're not REALLY a club. That's just our name, and really, what's in a name? We're actually just an inclusive
bunch of PASSIONATE readers who get to hang out with the coolest authors
on the scene!
We throw parties, eat snacks and read, read, read, read,
read...
We also have a lot of fun ... and we invite you to join us.
Yay books!

Maggie Stiefvater is NOT a Terrible Person. Seriously.
So she says, anyway.
Libba Bray at This is Teen LIVE
Libba gave the Beauty Queens book jacket a serious makeover at our This is Teen LIVE event last night! Don't worry, we've got a gazillion videos and pics, so if you missed last night, you can still bask in the awesomeness online.
Happy Book Birthday to BLOOD RED ROAD
Cage fighting. Romance. A stunning, post-apocalyptic landscape. Revolution. What more could you ask for? Blood Red Road, the debut dystopian novel from Moira Young is something like a Hunger Games, True Grit mash-up featuring one of the butt-kickingest females around. Which moves Not Your Mother's Book Club to wonder, if put in a cage fight, who would win: Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen (who may struggle since her best asset is a bow and arrow, not great for cage fights), Trice from Divergent (we all know she can throw a good punch), or the new dystopian combat queen, Saba from Blood Red Road. Though Blood Red Road may be to dark for some people's taste, Not Your Mother's Book Club is thrilled to recommend it to all our friends. Though it may take some readers a chapter or so to habituate to the dialect, it's well worth the push.What follows is one of the most kinetic, exciting and memorable debuts of the year, great for the older teens who love some action with their summer reading. This is Teen: RULES
Libba, Meg and Maggie will be signing as many SCHOLASTIC
PUBLISHED books PURCHASED AT BOOKS INC. as you
like. However, outside of that, they will only sign 2
non-Scholastic books per customer. Books must be purchased at
a Books Inc. location. The ladies will only be signing books, so
NO memorabilia and this includes but is not limited to: teeshirts,
scraps of paper, coffee mugs, your cousin’s favorite bra,
Kindles, Nooks, posters, buttons, promotional items or your hairless
cat. Your place in the signing line is determined by the
signing group designated on your ticket (just like Southwest Airlines)
so if you are in group A, you will be in the first group,
Group B, you will be in the second group, and so on.

Viewing Directions: Turn Your Head Sideways.
Don't worry, you look awesome, or quizzical (maybe?) with your head all sideways like that. But documented here is Susane's first taste of a Kara's cupcake. And no big deal, but we were right: Kara's is LEGIT. Susane made the excellent point that she hasn't had the Sprinkles carrot cake cupcake lately. So once she's done being on tour, she's going to have to do some follow-up taste-testing and let us know once and for all: Kara's or Sprinkles?
