CRP's Blog

Back to the grindstone, post-Labor Day. We’ve put our white pants in storage (well…) and are buckling down for what promises to be a busy Fall. Kicking off the season are our September titles featuring two (quite different) musical Michaels, the presidential election of 1840 (if you want to escape, kind of, from today’s roller coaster), a novel set in 1969 Chicago (that’s still relevant today) and two books for crafty kids who like making a little bit of a mess. Let us know on Twitter or Facebook if you’ve already picked up any of these, or what’s being added to your TBR pile.
