@annemetcalf53 recommends All my Goodbyes by Mariana Dimopulos, translated by Alice Whitmore: "The narrator of All My Goodbyes is fiercely intelligent but incurably restless. In fitful fragments, she recounts her departure from Argentina, bouncing around Europe between jobs and lovers. Convinced of her innate badness, ("my heart, which is bad," and "my heart, which is no good" are frequent clauses), she gradually reveals her eventual return to Argentina and possible involvement in a grisly murder in rural Patagonia. My favorite book of the year so far, from one of my favorite publishers, @transitbooks." #mqstaffpicks #fiction #readglobal #bookstore #indiebookstore #bookstagram

Look who just stopped by - it’s @stuntdogguy & @vinny_the_heartthrob! Vinny is the cover star of Chris Perondi & Larry Kay’s new book: The Big Book of Tricks for the Best Dog Ever, from @workmanpub. Signed copies available now! We get it - your dog is already the best dog ever - but the tricks in this book are so fun and adorable you’re definitely going to want to teach them all to your pooch. #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #indiebookstore #shoplocal #pets

This Thursday, 4/18, we're excited to host @rabeahghaffari, reading from her debut novel!

Rabeah will be in discussion with Professor Bill Beeman of the University of Minnesota. #fiction #mqevents #authorevents #bookstagram #indiebookstore #bookstore #shoplocal

Beth recommends the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. There’s a new Maisie Dobbs novel out this month from @harpercollinsus, The American Agent, but it's worth starting from the beginning! “The first installment, Maisie Dobbs, is a lovely novel set between World Wars in England - with a little mystery, a little history, and little fashion. Great historical detail and very entertaining!” #mystery #historicalfiction #britishfiction #staffpick #mqstaffpick #bookstagram #indiebookstore #bookstores #shoplocal

See you Tuesday 4/16 for a panel discussion featuring @mizmaggieb, @thefauxmartha, @stephanie.a.meyer, and @daramoskowitzgrumdaul. Refreshments too! RSVP on Eventbrite (link in bio). #foodstagram #selfcare #cookbooks #localfood #localauthors #bookstagram #mqevents #indiebookstore #bookstore
