📚 Plot twist… 📚

Just when you think you know the story—

✨ We’re OPEN on Tuesday, May 5 (an unexpected extra day for browsing!)

🚪 But CLOSED on Wednesday, May 6…

Paul and Stephen are heading out on a book-hunting mission to bring back a large new collection. Every good story needs a little suspense, after all.

Stay tuned… the next chapter is coming soon.
