For our Winter Reading Program, both our Events Program Assistant a.c. and Bookshop's Owner Casey recommend DID YOU EVER HAVE A FAMILY by Bill Clegg "After a fire destroys not only her home, but her entire family and her young lover, June Reid describes the scene: βthere were no survivors.β Not her family; not herself. This quiet, beautiful novel examines the darkness of individual human loss in order to arrive at something honest and redemptive. Incredibly empathetic writing: I almost felt the creak of each narrator's bones as I lived through their part in the tale." - a.c. Read three of our eight recommended books by March 31st to receive great rewards for reading! Check off the books as you read them on our Winter Reading Program bookmark and bring it back to Bookshop to receive a free mini cupcake from Buttercup Cakes, a free Doonster wine tasting flight from Bonny Doon Vineyard, and a $5 gift card to Bookshop Santa Cruz.
