Our Bookseller’s Choice Book Club is a true literary “grab bag” — a charcuterie board of compelling reads selected across genres by our bookselling team. Each month, we gather at the shop to dive into a new selection, sharing perspectives and lively conversation about the book and its themes.

As summer begins to wind down, we're escaping reality with This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.

A lyrical, genre-bending sci-fi novella, This Is How You Lose the Time War follows two rival agents on opposite sides of a war that spans centuries and realities. What begins as taunting letters between enemies slowly transforms into an unforgettable romance, weaving together breathtaking prose, time-bending adventure, and a love story that defies the fate of worlds. And in our opinion, if you’re looking to be inspired? This book is it.

This Is How You Lose the Time War is currently IN STOCK in the shop and ready for purchase in-person!
