Bubbles and Books

As you know Dog-Eared Books is growing! There's lots to do, and we only have so many hours in the day. Because of the crazy schedule, we are going on a brief hiatus until the new year. Until then, we're leaving you with a list of Fall/Winter must-reads you're going to want to put on your TBR. Until then, keep up with all the construction and store news by following us on our socials. And let us know what type of episodes you'd like to hear in the new year! See you in 2027! Fall books you gotta check out: Partita by Barbara Kingsolver Exit Party by Emily St. John Mandel Hollywood Ending by John Green The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig American Hagwon by Min Jin Lee Peck & Peck by Bonnie Garmus The Birthing Tree by Amanda Peters Miss Wolcott’s Ghost by Louise Penny Sunrise by Tea Obreht As You Wake, Break the Shell by Becky Chambers Off the Reservation by Stephen Graham Jones ______________________________________________________________________ Make sure to subscribe and rate the Bubbles & Books Podcast.

Today, we are getting a reality check! Ellyn is joined by the real Ken Moore, Bookseller Mariah, and her son Holden. They're discussing Dog-Eared's newest book club Reality Check.  Reality Check Book Club reads new release non-fiction across many different sub-genres, from science history to philosophical explorations--not ship wrecks though, that's a different club (coming 2027). If you love non-fiction, or even if you don't and are open to changing your mind, come join host Ken Moore, official grandpa of Dog-Eared Books, and buckle up for a reality check. Meets the first Tuesday of every month at 6 PM no sign up necessary. ______________________________________________________________________ Make sure to subscribe and rate the Bubbles & Books Podcast.

Dog-Eared is growing, and that growth couldn't happen without the fantastic teams we have overseeing this project. Old buildings need a lot of work, and Brett Wolf, with Integrity Construction, is overseeing Dog-Eared's expansion to make sure that the work gets done in a way that honors the structural integrity and history of the building. He is joining Amanda & Ellyn on today's episode to talk all about it.   Listen to find out what stage of construction we're in, and find out what's coming up soon!  ______________________________________________________________________ Make sure to subscribe and rate the Bubbles & Books Podcast.
