What’s in a name?
“So, how do you pronounce ‘Read Queen’ – is it ‘Red‘ Queen or ‘Reed‘ Queen?”
Well, just as the Queen herself says:
“I love to read, the Queen she said, and in so doing I am well read.”
So the pronunciation is ‘red’ as a book must be ‘read’ in order to be a used book. It’s also an homage to The Red Queen of Lewis Carroll’s classic Through the Looking-Glass (the follow up to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland), two of our favorite books.
In a quote all too fitting to our current times, Carroll’s Red Queen says “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

This week’s staff pick is a modern classic from Japanese Author Haruki Murakami.

1Q84 is romantic and surreal, an incredibly fast read for such a brick of a book and with one of the coolest protagonists I've ever read, a troubled woman named Aomame who slips into the strange world of 1Q84.

Staff Pick: Book Lovers by Emily Henry – from Robin
-
This week’s staff pick is the latest release from Emily Henry, bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation. Kick of your summer reading right with this brilliant rom-com set, once again, in the world of publishing.
-
This book is an amazing read, both hilarious, with some of the best banter you will ever read, and has a lot of heart. Charlie, Nora and her sister Libby are wonderful characters that you are going to love. No one does rom-coms quite like Emily Henry and this book is a triumph, I laughed, I cried, it is fabulous.
