A horrifying cartoon for Halloween (originally for @GuardianBooks)
Halloween horror! Horrifying: 1. Floating skull 2. Evil fog 3.Slime fiend Utterly horrifying: 1. Floating skull who borrows books and never returns them. 2. Evil fog with some really awful opinions (it is saying we've got the internet so we don't need libraries") 3. Slime fiend who browses bookshops then buys

Well that’s certainly reassuring. (Sign from the Petaluma Pumpkin Patch & Amazing Corn Maze.) petalumapumpkinpatch.com/
A sign in large friendly red letters that reads “ATTENTION! If you become lost or confused in the corn maze, stay calm! Don’t panic, help is on the way. Every Thursday morning we send a rescue team into the maze to bring out everyone left from the previous weekend. They are highly trained and can usually locate over two-thirds of those left behind.”

The delightful author Emily Brightwell dropped in to say hi and sign books! It’s always a pleasure to see her.

Apparently the frontlist ordering is all about poultry today?
Screenshot of an online catalogue for booksellers. This advertised title is called How to Read a Chicken's Mind: Understand How Chickens Learn, Perceive People, Express Emotions, and Pass Down Knowledge by Melissa Caughey.

Every time I do a frontlist (forthcoming books) order, I find yet more titles that are wildly unsuitable for our genre-specific shop, and yet so compelling. . . .
A screenshot of an online book-ordering catalog page. The title is An Absolute Beginner's Guide to Raising Backyard Turkeys: Varieties, Feeding, Shelter, Care by Stacy Benjamin.

It's the last day of September, so that's officially Summer in San Francisco (for the next 2 weeks or so). Put on your tank top & shorts, brave the only-a-couple-times-a-year 90+ degrees, & come see us to get a book to read in the shade!
