Orcapod Book Club is a smashing success! You want to be a part of this, so come get some book love this Valentine's Day!

Our February read is Sea of Poppies by
Amitav Ghosh. This historically-based novel is the first book in a
trilogy. Mr. Gosh's lyrical writing is the perfect vehicle for this
layered story about a ship and its passengers crossing the Indian Sea
before the outbreak of the Opium Wars in China.

Let our booksellers know you are buying Sea of Poppies for the book club, and you get 10% off the price of the book!

Nikki McClure's papercut art has been heralded as lovely and inspiring by her neighbors here in Olympia for years. We probably should have presented her with an award every year for the calendars alone... So, even if it falls to the folks at the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association to honor Nikki and Cynthia Rylant with a 2010 book award for their children's book All in a Day, we do at least get to host the ceremony here and be actually presenting Nikki with her richly deserved trophy/plaque/oversized check (we haven't seen it yet, but we assume it arrives in a hot-air balloon)! Are we gushing? The gush is all for the local talent. We're honored to serve as the transfer point, and we offer you champagne, delicious treats, children's music by Brandt Sandeno & friends, and the complete works of Nikki McClure.  Watch the Dicky Dahl interview  of Nikki on Vimeo.
