Things Can Only Get Better!
January 2012
Dear Readers,
We hope you had a lovely holiday -- ours was fantastic thanks to all of you! We've been hunkered down for the past week or so performing end of year drudgery like inventory and bookkeeping but that is nearly behind us and soon we will turn our sights to bringing in a slew of new titles and other goodies for you!
If you haven't made it down to visit our new neighbors -- Sizzle Pie -- there's no time like the present! You could seriously make a day of it between all the great shops on our block and Powell's! So far my favorite slice is the Parmageddon, and I'm quite fond of the Word Salad.
We have an exciting upcoming event with David Graeber, the "anti-leader of Occupy Wall Street" according to Business Week, and anthropologist, anarchist, and author who will be discussing his recently release book Debt: The First Five Thousand Years. This event is being held at Alberta Rose Theater. Tickets are available in person at Reading Frenzy or online through Alberta Rose Theater.
Next month we'll be hosting our 12th Annual Valentine's Invitational which will launch us into a new year of exciting art shows after taking a little breather this month.
We hope to see you soon!
Your Faithful Proprietress,
Chloe
November 23, 2011: It's been an exciting month at the shop! We're stocked up on so many of our favorite authors and artists it's hard to know where to start! It's best to come to Reading Frenzy with an open mind and a spirit of adventure ~ our tiny shop will never offer a comprehensive selection of books in print, but we do have a hand picked selection of several hundred books, comics, magazines, zines and miscellaneous items that we think are top notch. We hope you do too...
