For our Winter Reading Program, our former head Gift Buyer Kimberly recommends MEMOIRS OF AN IMAGINARY FRIEND by Matthew Dicks "I was completely caught off guard by this book! I picked it up, expecting something light and silly, similar to his other novel Something Missing.* Instead, I found a beautiful exploration on the complexities of Autism, the power of friendship, and the burden of mortality. Insightful and compelling. *which you should totally read, btw. It’s lovely." - Kimberly Read three of our eight recommended books by March 31st to receive great rewards for reading! Simply pick up (or print out) a Winter Reading Program bookmark, check off the books as you read them, and then bring it back to Bookshop to receive a free mini cupcake from Buttercup Cakes, a free Doonster wine tasting flight from Bonny Doon Vineyard, and a $5 gift card to Bookshop Santa Cruz. http://www.bookshopsantacruz.com/wrp #winterreadingprogram #bookrecommendations #memoirsofanimaginaryfriend #matthewdicks #rewardsforreading #winterreading #stafffav #fiction #novel #autism #mortality #friendship #lovely (at Bookshop Santa Cruz)
