“We had an amazing Independent Bookstore Day on April 26. People turned out! Everyone was so patient and so kind and we really are lucky to have such an amazing community of readers here in Lawrence!” the Raven Book Store writes.
The Lawrence Art Guild’s “Art Spaces” is the perfect event for people who want to know more about art and artists — the materials artists use, the spaces they create in — and to gain insight into what drives them to make art that is uniquely theirs.
Area artists will open their studios, homes and creative spaces to guests during Lawrence’s free, self-guided, open-studio tour, Art Spaces.
“K. O’Neill, author/illustrator of the beloved ‘Tea Dragon Society‘ series, debuted a new graphic novel for kids called ‘A Song for You and I.’ We still have lots of signed copies available — perfect for this week’s Trans Rights Readathon!” the Raven Book Store writes.
“Marian Washington dominated the sales these last two weeks! … ‘On Tyranny’ remains a consistent bestseller, with ‘1984’ slowly creeping up the list,” the Raven Book Store writes.
“Temple Grandin nearly had a clean sweep of our bestsellers for the past two weeks! The Raven sold books at a few of her talks in Iola earlier this month,” the Raven Book Store writes of this week’s bestsellers.
”Lawrencians are reading ‘On Tyranny’ to gain a better understanding of unchecked political actions, and many are still finding escape into strong science fiction, fantasy, and romantic worlds,” the Raven Book Store writes of this week’s bestsellers.
“From most of this list, it appears people are looking for a mental escape!” the Raven Book Store writes.
”The TikTok (RIP) sensation ’Fourth Wing’ has been selling like hotcakes as we anticipate our all-day launch party for the series’ third installment — ’Onyx Storm’ — from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21!” the Raven Book Store writes.
”This is another one-bookstore-in-the-world bestseller list. Lawrencians love local titles, and they definitely LOVE Louise Erdrich and Robin Wall Kimmerer, too,” the Raven Book Store writes of the top 10 bestsellers for all of 2024.
