Celebrating 25 years of bookselling! June 1, 2009 marks twenty-five years of bookselling for Snowbound. We'll be celebrating all year long, with sales this summer and an Open House in late June.

When Ray first opened Snowbound, he did so with about 10,000 used books. Soon after, the city decided to tear up Third Street, so he had a new business that faced a mud pit. Marquette must have recognized the importance of a bookstore, though, because customers came in despite the upheaval and have returned for over two decades.

So, whether you've supported us for years or if you've only just discovered us, we thank you for keeping it local. We're proud to be part of this community and would like to continue for another twenty-five years.

On the "About Us" tab, you'll find customer comments about the store. I'll be adding to these throughout the year, so if you have one you'd like to share, please let us know.

Snowbound Book Club




The Snowbound Book Club is open to anyone interested in the current selection. We meet once a month at Chapter Two at 7:30 pm. (see below for dates)

For those of you who have never been in a book club and think that you "don't know how to talk about books," I do have a few pointers. As you are reading, mark any passages that seem particularly wonderful, or even horrible, to you. It could be the writing, the idea or an image that strikes you, but it's something to talk about. You'd be surprised how often someone else has the same paragraph marked.

** PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE FROM May 27 to MAY 20**
MAY 20- Montana 1948 by Larry Watson

This is the story of a summer in 1948 that changed a young man's life forever. It's also the story of family and duty and doing what's right, even if it means hurting those you love. Not very original, huh? Well actually, yes, somehow Watson does make this seem like an idea all his own. Maybe it's just that his writing makes other similar storylines pale in comparison and appear superfluous. In a bare bones narrative that is paradoxically rich in detail and evocative imagery, this short novel is a welcome relief from the six hundred page opus that seems to be the norm nowadays. ~ Dana

THIS WILL BE OUR LAST MEETING UNTIL SEPTEMBER
