Well-Read Moose Bookstore

-

I’m Part of the Well-Read Moose Team!


On the upcoming 5th anniversary of the Well-Read Moose, I am ecstatic to report that I am now working at this wonderful bookstore in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.  For a person who loves reading and has books stacked and lining shelves all over my home, working in a bookstore is a dream come true.  When I was recently hired at the beautiful Well-Read Moose bookshop, I was in heaven because it’s much more than a bookstore, it’s a favorite gathering spot.

 It's hard to believe but it's already been open five years!  On May 31 and June 1 there will be an anniversary celebration at the store including the Moose Madness Prize Wheel!

 Besides the extra activities, you will always find books for all ages, gifts, food and drinks that will keep you coming back for more.

Books, Books, Books!
The Well-Read Moose has a huge selection of over 9,000 book titles in the store! We carry the latest reads and if we don’t have it, we can order it for you. From fiction, to fascinating lives, young adult, kids, and even a books-to-movie section, there are endless rows of books to tempt you. Staff suggestions abound with write-ups throughout the store.

Café
This bookstore has a nice café where you can get coffee, tea, pastries, breakfast, lunch, even wine and beer! What’s better than grabbing a nice glass of wine while browsing for your new book adventure?

Kids’ Section
The Well-Read Moose has a fun children’s section with weekly “Moose Tales” story time every Wednesday from 4:30 to 5:15pm.  The kids’ section also carries book-related toys and stuffed animals as well as puzzles.

Gifts
Throughout the store, you’ll find book-related gifts from bookmarks, to candles, socks and more!  It’s the perfect place to shop for your favorite book lover.

Loyalty Program
Sign up for the loyalty program and for every $100 spent on books, gifts, and cards you’ll receive a 20% discount on your next purchase.   

Book Clubs
The Well-Read Moose has a section with a sofa and comfy chairs where clubs can gather and discuss their books.  If you register your book club with us, you’ll receive a 20% discount on your book club reads and your books will be displayed on the dedicated book club shelf—a great place to get ideas on what’s popular.  My own book club has been meeting here since the Well-Read Moose first opened in 2014 and we couldn’t imagine going anywhere else now!

If you don’t belong to a book club but want to, you can join one or both of the Well-Read Moose-sponsored book clubs. The morning club meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 10am.  The evening club meets on the first Thursday of the month at 6pm. 

Come and visit!
The Well-Read Moose is located at 2048 N Main Street in Coeur d’Alene’s Riverstone Development.  Summer hours:   Monday-Saturday: 8am-9pm.  Sunday: 8am-9pm.  Sunday: 10am-7pm. 208-215-2265   www.wellreadmoose.com  

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Happy Reading,
Annette

Short Stories by O. Henry

-

Candy for the Mind O. Henry is pen name of William Sydney Porter, who wrote over 600 short stories in his lifetime. Often funny, sometimes touching, always witty and imaginative, each story ended with a surprising twist. One of his most famous stories is The Gift of the Magi ,   where a young, penniless couple sacrifices something dear to their hearts in order to buy the perfect Christmas present for each other. The ending has a sweet twist to it, kind of like an Oh, Henry! candy bar, which supposedly pays tribute to the beloved author. Read it here: https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/1-the_gift_of_the_magi_0.pdf There is almost an endless selection of books containing his short stories. While there are too many stories to list, below are some of my favorites. Lost on Dress Parade is about a young man who saves his money for ten weeks so he can go out and pretend to be a rich man for one evening.  Outside the restaurant he meets ...

Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

 Remains of the Day This book immediately struck me as a character study. I didn’t expect much action, and predictably, didn’t get much.  Mostly it was about getting inside a stuffy, dignified butler’s head, listening to his internal dialogue, his thought process, and his many recollections of a thirty-year career, annnnnnnnnnd—I LOVED IT!!  💗 It had such depth and insight that I couldn’t wait to return each day to see what Mr. Stevens would reveal and what the outcome of his quest would be.  I was not disappointed.  In fact, the book stirred me more than I expected.  Yes, those tears fell freely when I wasn’t looking.  It snuck up on me—all of it, all of Mr. Stevens’ days that he shared moved me in some way.   I’m not sure this book is for everyone.  "Boring" is how one friend described it as he politely set it aside. BUT I truly believe if my friend got into his Zen mode and picked it up again, he might—if not quit...
