It's the very first "new book" Tuesday of 2026! Here are a few releases you can find in-store today that we are super excited for:

Some of the books I'll be reading in the new year. We went to our local pub Bushwaller's and ate too much with our Kilkenny pints. Then on to @curiousiguana.com I call it pub and book day and I try to do it once a month. #books #reading #indiebookstore #pubandbookday

Monday morning shout out to @curiousiguana.com ! Saturday was my first visit to Frederick and my friend loves it enough to take us there twice in the same day and I see why! The staff was friendly (both shifts) and the free book cart was awesome! Thanks for the additions to my library!
