Welcome, everyone, to the New Year!
“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Happy New Year to all! We enjoyed a wonderful holiday season at A Novel Experience--and we're looking forward to sharing 2026 with great books and fun events with you all year long!
Our 2026 book groups are beginning this month with titles that are sure to prompt great discussions and insightful reading. And, our monthly discussion group on current topics returns this month as well. Stop by and check out our collection of books that will be sure to assist you with jumpstarting your New Year's resolutions!
We're looking forward to enjoying a bit of sunshine this week and catching some time to curl up in a blanket with a great book ...so many books, so little time...:). If you need to refresh your book pile visit the store Monday through Saturday from 10-7--we're putting some fabulous titles on the shelves this month. And, perhaps resolve to join us at one of our monthly book groups--it's a great way to discover new titles and interests (ask Chris about the Louise Penny's series...). Happy New Year, enjoy the season, and don't forget to let us know what you're reading!
