Parent & Kid Book Club

We’re kicking off our Parent & Kid Book Club with New Kid by Jerry Craft! 📚 We chose a graphic novel for our first pick to keep things fun and approachable and with September just around the corner, New Kid felt like the perfect way to ease kids back into the school year ✏️🚍 It’s a funny, thoughtful story about starting at a new school, finding your place, navigating friendships, and figuring out where you fit ❤️ Parents and kids can read it together, then join us for a relaxed conversation and a chance to meet other families in the community ☺️ We have limited space available. Reserve your spot by emailing tomesandtalesreads@gmail.com. $5 entry fee once your spot is confirmed. The full $5 can be used as store credit on the night of the event! New Kid is available for purchase through the store.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Chrissy grew up in Saskatoon and spent many summers at her local library, immersed in the magical world of children's stories.

Book Signing | Robert Groves

Meet local author Robert Groves on October 10 from 12 pm to 4 pm. Robert is the author of 45's & A Trench Coat, a mystery book set in White Rock, BC. ABOUT THE BOOK Set in the seaside town of White Rock, B.C., Private Investigator Jackson Cole may be a nostalgia buff, but he’ll be the first to tell you that not everything is better when it’s older: the trail of accountant William Moore has certainly not improved in the half-decade since he disappeared. ​ Jackson, though, has a fantastic team: between retired forensic scientist Sam (his best friend and trivia-genius sparring partner) and hacker extraordinaire Emily (his ex-wife and current flame), he’s got the best chance of anyone of finding a man who’s left no trace. ​ But William’s abandoned daughter Grace, who’s not sure if her dad’s still alive, isn’t the only one he left with unfinished business. Even after all this time, someone else is pursuing this missing man, Someone who’s determined, dangerous and not above leveraging Jackson to achieve their goal. ​ In his race to find the truth, sometime it’s better to be lucky than good, but you can’t go wrong trying for both.
