National Black Bookstore Day was celebrated yesterday, April 7. Created by the National Association of Black Bookstores, NBBD is a national observance honoring the cultural, economic, and community impact of Black-owned bookstores across the U.S. The day also celebrates the late Georgia "Mother Rose" Peat West, founder of Underground Books in Sacramento, Calif. Bookstores sharing their #NationalBlackBookstoreDay experiences on social media included: 

Source Booksellers, Detroit, Mich.: "April 7th is National Black Bookstore Day. Today we celebrate the spaces that have always been more than bookstores--they've been centers for knowledge, culture, resistance, and community. Here in Detroit, we stand on the legacy of those who paved the way, like Vaughn's Bookstore and The Shrine of the Black Madonna, whose presence helped shape what it means to have access to Black literature and thought in our city. Today is a day to support and learn more about Black bookstores and booksellers around you. Pull up, tap in, and take something meaningful home."

Cindelle's Bookstore, Plainfield, N.J.: "Happy National Black Bookstore Day! Today, on this inaugural celebration, we are filled with so much gratitude. Gratitude for every single person who has walked through our doors, picked up a book, and made Cindelle's feel like home. Plainfield: you have shown up for us, and we promise to always show up for you. From the very beginning, our vision was simple: to create a warm, welcoming space where this community could see itself on every shelf. A place where stories matter, where conversations start, and where belonging is never in question. On this first-ever National Black Bookstore Day, we are proud to be YOUR bookstore. Thank you for letting us serve this beautiful city. The best is STILL to come." (pics by @jveloz)

All Good Books, Columbia, S.C.: "In honor of National Black Bookstore Day on April 7th, Shaquinta from Audre's Den, a Black woman-owned mobile bookstore and literary lounge, will be celebrating the shop's Columbia debut with a pop-up event at All Good Books from 10 am to 4 pm. @audresden_sc specializes in curated literature by Black authors, centering women's voices and creating a space rooted in reading, writing, and radical rest."

Strive Publishing & Bookstore, Minneapolis, Minn.: "It's official! The City of Minneapolis Government will recognize the first annual National Black Bookstore Day with a proclamation--and we invite you to celebrate with us at Strive Bookstore on April 7th from 5:00-7:30p.m. for a Cake & Community Open House. This is a moment to uplift Black bookstores and the stories that sustain them. We especially invite our local authors--your voices, your books, and your presence are what keep spaces like Strive alive and relevant. Come connect, celebrate, and stand in community as we honor the power of Black stories together."

Dawn Treader Books, Ann Arbor, Mich.: "Supporting Black-owned bookstores strengthens the entire literary ecosystem. Today, join us and NAB2 for National Black Bookstore Day. Visit nab2.org to find a national directory of independent shops to support. We're proud to be one of many Black-owned bookshops in Southeast Michigan. Check out our neighbors at @sourcebooksellers, @blackstonebookstore, @shopbooksweet, and @pagesontheave today too!"

Moonstone & Mist Bookshop, Redondo Beach, Calif.: "It's National Black Bookstore Day! I'd like to share with you six ways to support Black-owned bookstores and, truly, any independent bookstore today and every day."

Brenham Book Nook, Brenham, Tex.: "April 7th is National Black Bookstore Day! We love running into booksellers from Houston's @classbookstore or Austin's @blackpearlbooks when we go to regional bookseller gatherings, and supporting them by telling people about their stores. There are even more black bookstores in Houston, Austin, and throughout Texas that we haven't been able to visit yet; you can find them, and others all across the country, here. To learn more about the history of black-owned bookstores, and how they have been central to organizing political movements as well as places of celebration, we recommend the book shown above!"

Class Bookstore, Houston, Tex.: "Happy National Black Bookstore Day. Greetings #CLASSMates!! Today, we celebrate and recognize as 'NATIONAL BLACK BOOKSTORE DAY'!!.... Come through the shop today (from 2 p.m.-7 p.m.) and let’s wish each other Happy National Black Bookstore Day!! BONUS: Can you find and name all of the Black Bookstores in the Greater Houston area?"

Baldwin & Co. Bookstore, New Orleans, La. (via PEN America): "The National Association of Black Bookstores (@nab2blk) has declared April 7 to be #NationalBlackBookstoreDay.... We recently sat down with DJ Johnson, proprietor of @baldwinandcompany, a black-owned independent bookstore in New Orleans to hear how he uses the power of books to inspire social justice."

Da Book Joint, Chicago, Ill.: "Today is National Black Bookstore Day. Black-owned bookstores have always been more than just retail spaces--they are cultural hubs, safe spaces, and homes for our stories. They make sure our voices are heard, our history is preserved, and our community stays connected. And being able to do this work in our own neighborhood means everything to us. We're open 12-6 p.m. today and we would love to see you in the store.... Every visit, every purchase, every share--it all matters."

Uncle Bobbie's Coffee & Books will move to a new, larger location in Philadelphia, Pa., this fall, Resolve Philly reported.

The Black-owned bookstore and coffee shop will remain in Philly's Germantown neighborhood, going from 5445 Germantown Ave. to 6237 Germantown Ave. In the new space, Uncle Bobbie's will be able to stock more books, offer more seating, and host bigger events, all while being fully accessible. It will also have better security, with break-ins having been a problem at its current home.

Uncle Bobbie's, which first opened in 2017, had outgrown its current space and had been looking for a new one for at least a year. Store manager Justin Moore told Germantown Info Hub: "Since we started looking for a new place, staying in Germantown was one of our biggest priorities. We've been here more than eight years and wanted to continue to be a part of the growth and development of this awesome neighborhood."

The bookstore's new home is in a multi-use development that began construction in 2022. It is part of a corridor containing numerous other Black-owned businesses, and it will fill the void left by the closure of several cafes and coffee shops in recent years.

The Littlest Bookshop, a mobile children's bookstore, opened a bricks-and-mortar location at 26 N. King St. in Leesburg, Va., on April 1, with a grand opening celebration scheduled for April 12. Northern Virginia magazine reported that the bookstore's new home is in the King Street Collective, a marketplace that hosts more than a dozen small businesses under one roof.

Founded by Brianne Lopez, the Littlest Bookshop "gained a following through its selection of children's books and emphasis on connection. The new space will continue on those themes by offering a space for families to gather, browse, and linger," Northern Virigina reported.

"The Littlest Bookshop was created in the middle of motherhood--in the messy, beautiful, overwhelming, fleeting days of raising my kids," said Lopez. "I found myself wanting to hold onto it all just a little tighter... the stories before bed, the quiet snuggles, the wonder in their eyes."

The space is designed to seem like a cozy extension of a home, Lopez noted, adding: "I didn't just want to sell books. I wanted to create a space that feels like those moments. A place where families can slow down, connect, and find magic in the ordinary. Where childhood is protected and celebrated... and where motherhood can feel a little softer too."

In an Instagram post last month, Lopez wrote: "Sometimes I stop and think... I never imagined we would be here. What started as a small dream about books, imagination, and creating something magical for children has grown into something so much bigger than I ever expected. From loading up our little trailer, to setting up shelves, to watching families and littles fall in love with stories--every step has been a leap of faith.

"There have been long days, late nights, and moments where I wondered if this dream was too big. But your support, your kindness, and the joy you bring to our little bookshop keeps us going. Thank you for believing in the Littlest Bookshop and for being part of this journey with us. Small shelves, big imagination."

Bub's Bookstore will open in downtown Carson City, Nev., later this year, Carson Now reported.

Bub's Bookstore's future home.

Located at 110 S. Curry St., Bub's Bookstore will sell new books for all ages. Among the general-interest inventory, owners Rob Fuller and Demi Pettway plan to highlight local authors, Northern Nevada history, and outdoor recreation. They hope Bub's Bookstore will be a third place for the Carson City community, and their plans for events include book clubs, movie nights, and more. 

To help open the bookstore, Pettway and Fuller have launched a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of $2,800. So far, they've raised $2,200, which will go toward inventory, rent, licenses, and other start-up costs.

Even before deciding to open a bookstore, Fuller and Pettway knew they wanted to provide a third space for Carson City residents. Petty told Carson Now they found it jarring to leave college and find the "real world" lacking in community spaces. "So we would like to create a place for community, for education, for people to connect with each other."

They honed in on the idea of opening a bookstore after reading the results of a Reno Gazette Journal survey that showed most readers in the area spent time at restaurants. 

"There's no real third spaces in Carson," said Fuller. "People want to have a place where they don't feel pressured to buy something or get a drink or go somewhere just to eat or whatever--they can just kind of hang out and exist. So we ran with it."

Pettway and Fuller officially signed a lease for the space in late March, with renovation work to start mid-April. They are aiming for a June opening.

Peter Schrag, a longtime opinion page editor at the Sacramento Bee who wrote a well-received book about the conundrum of California governance, died on March 19, the New York Times reported. He was 94.

In Paradise Lost: California's Experience, America's Future (1998), Schrag contended that the popularity of voter initiatives hamstrung the State Legislature and eroded representative government. "While purporting to empower grass-roots Californians, these initiatives transferred power to the older, wealthier voters who turned out at the polls regularly, Mr. Schrag demonstrated," the Times wrote. "These voters' abhorrence of taxes hurt working class and minority populations that benefited from the public services that the revenue paid for."

Paradise Lost was named a New York Times Notable Book, and attracted local and international media attention. 

He graduated from Amherst with a bachelor's degree in history in 1953, and spent two years as a journalist at the El Paso Herald-Post before taking a job in the communications department at his alma mater for a decade. His experiences there led him to write Voices in the Classroom (1965), exploring how race and class distorted the promise of an equal education in America's K-12 public schools.

In the early decades of his career in journalism, Schrag wrote for Saturday Review and Harper's. He became education editor of Saturday Review, and eventually rose to the position of executive editor. 

In 1978, Schrag was hired as editorial page editor at the Sacramento Bee, despite never having written a newspaper editorial. With Schrag at the helm, the editorial page opposed Proposition 13, "which in 1978 capped property taxes and hollowed out school budgets, as well as later initiatives to mandate three-strikes criminal sentencing; prohibit bilingual education; and to shut the doors of public schools and health care services to undocumented residents," the Times noted.

"We were liberals as the state was turning conservative and sometimes reactionary," Schrag wrote in an unpublished memoir.

His 1971 piece in Harper's, "The Decline of the WASP," caught the attention of Simon & Schuster editor Michael Korda, who asked Schrag to expand it into a book, which was published in 1973 under the title The End of the American Future. Schrag's other books include Test of Loyalty (1974) and California: America's High-Stakes Experiment (2006).

Into the Blue by Emma Brodie (‎‎Ballantine) is the April pick for Reese's Book Club, which described the book this way: "From the moment AJ and Noah are thrust together as scene partners, their chemistry, on and off the stage, is undeniable. After years of pushing and pulling away from each other, the question isn't if feelings exist, but if either of them are brave enough to act on them. [Into the Blue] is the perfect book for readers who can't resist a story full of yearning, second chances, and big feelings."

Reese said: "Into the Blue is a story that really stayed with me--about love, timing, and what happens when the past finds its way back into your life. I was so drawn to the way it explores fate versus choice."

Libélula Books & Co., San Diego, Calif., shared a video on Facebook showing what can happen "when ur coworkers get a little too hyper for the new inventory... but you can't really blame them."

Handsell readers your book in 25 words or less:

An orphan inherits her employer's massive estate after his murder and must find the killer--who may or may not come from the sea--before she becomes the next victim.

On your nightstand now: 

Randy Ribay's The Awakening of Roku, the sixth book in the Avatar the Last Airbender Chronicles series. I regularly watch the animated series with my kids (who are now adults), and I've loved seeing YA authors expand that universe. Randy Ribay brings nuance to questions of power, responsibility, and moral compromise--some of my favorite themes to explore in my own books.

Favorite book when you were a child:

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle--it was a "new book" back then and we all couldn't get enough of it. I mean, how brilliant is it to stick actual holes in the book through which kids can stick their wiggly wormy fingers? And let's not overlook its greatest achievement: it made me want to eat vegetables.

Favorite book to read to a child:

Okay, it's a little bit of a cheat since it's practically wordless but Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann was a favorite in our house. A mischievous gorilla steals the zookeeper's keys and quietly unlocks all the cages--pure visual comedy. I love the shared giggles as you turn each page, and that sly, perfect ending. Go ahead, reread. I'll wait.

I also adore reading Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed by Mo Willems. First, I'm glad naked mole rats get their day in the sun. Second, this is a joyful, accessible story about someone who dares to be different.

A more recent favorite is Joanna Ho's Eyes That Kiss in the Corners, illustrated by Dung Ho, which I buy anytime I need a baby gift. It's a luminous celebration about a girl who learns to love her Asian-shaped eyes by seeing their beauty reflected in her mother and ancestors. The pictures are as gorgeous as the message.

Book you've faked reading:

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. I tried. I truly did. I respect its place in American literature, but I just couldn't make it through. It was just too unrelentingly bleak for me at the time. Sorry, Steinbeck--it's not you, it's me.

Book you're an evangelist for:

L.A. Meyer's Bloody Jack. I will press this series into anyone's hands. It follows a scrappy London orphan who disguises herself as a boy and joins the British navy. It's swashbuckling, romantic, funny, and deeply empowering. That series made me fall in love with historical fiction and showed me how a bold, complicated girl could steer the entire narrative. I owe a great deal of my writing life to L.A. Meyer.

Book you've bought for the cover:

All of Elizabeth Lim's novels, especially Six Crimson Cranes, cover illustrated by Tran Nguyen. The cover is breathtaking--lush, intricate, transportive. The happy surprise is that the stories inside are just as enchanting as the artwork.

Best book an adult handed to you when you were a child:

A children's librarian once handed me Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. Reading Anne's words--written while she was in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands--changed me. What struck me most was her stubborn belief in people's goodness despite unimaginable fear and confinement. She was thoughtful, hopeful, flawed... just a regular teenager in extraordinary circumstances. It was one of the first times I understood how powerful a young person's voice could be.

Book that changed your life:

L.A. Meyer's In the Belly of the Bloodhound, the fourth book in the Bloody Jack series. (Yes, it deserves a second mention.) That series cracked something open for me. It made history feel thrilling and immediate rather than distant and dusty, and it proved that a girl could seize her fate, even in the most restrictive times.

In this installment especially, Meyer's talent is on full display: Jacky relies on her wit and hard-earned skills to save her boarding-school classmates after pirates kidnap them aboard a ship bound for the Barbary Coast. It is swashbuckling storytelling magic. I truly believe I write historical fiction today because of L.A. Meyer.

Favorite line from a book:

"I am haunted by humans." --from The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Death is the narrator of this Markus Zusak masterpiece set in Nazi Germany following a young girl who copes with her trauma by stealing and sharing books with others. This final line reflects Death's bewilderment at human's capacity for both cruelty and kindness. It's simple but reverberates.

Five books you'll never part with:

I strongly believe books should be shared (and if they're not returned, I prefer to assume they were loved too much to let go), so here are five books that have bewitched and delighted me in recent memory:

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson. Whilst visiting Kentucky a few years back, I asked the brilliant Courtney Stevens (who is not just an author but a librarian) for a book that would make me cry and laugh. She shared this one, about a young woman who becomes the caretaker for her estranged friend's twin stepchildren, who spontaneously combust when agitated. Yes, exactly. It's absurd, tender, and unexpectedly profound.

Sara Pennypacker's The Lion's Run. This is the kind of historical fiction I adore: immersive enough to feel like time travel. Set in Nazi-occupied France, it follows an orphan who risks his life to save kittens and, incidentally, aids the French Resistance. Pennypacker weaves in layers of history, including the Lebensborn program, with grace and emotion. I will read every book she writes.

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Remember how I just said I didn't like bleak? Apparently, I do because this book wounded me in a way that shouldn't be possible for a few ounces of paper and ink. It's about three friends raised in a secluded English boarding school, and I can't really tell you more without spoiling it. It's a quiet meditation on love, memory, and morality, and I still think about it.

Safe Harbor by Padma Venkatraman, an uplifting middle-grade novel-in-verse about a girl struggling after her parents' divorce with bullying, and cultural adjustment, who helps rescue a stranded seal. Venkatraman, who is an oceanographer herself, brings authenticity and heart to every one of her stories, and did I mention the seal?

Eliana Ramage's To the Moon and Back. I love stories about astronauts and love even more showcasing heroines we don't often see, which surprises no one. Spanning three decades, this book follows a Cherokee teen determined to escape her turbulent upbringing by pursuing NASA and a future in space. As her ambition strains her bonds with her sister, her girlfriend, and her mother, Eliana Ramage beautifully explores Indigenous identity, family legacy, and what it costs to chase the moon.

Book you most want to read again for the first time:

Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Café. The voice and the ride or die friendship between Idgie and Ruth is chef's kiss perfection.

Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, winner of the 2022 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Youth/Teen Literary Work, gifts readers her third solo YA novel, The Heirs, an electrifying locked-room mystery about wealth, genius, and obsession.

Sixteen years ago, Leontes Button, a cold, calculating, and eccentric French billionaire, adopted five children from around the world. His intent was to prove that through his infamous Button Method "a genius can... be plucked from a random orphanage and made in a lab." When the toddlers arrived, Button held a "bastardize[d]" version of "Zhuazhou... A one-thousand-year-old Chinese custom... of allowing children to crawl toward their own destiny on their first birthday." He laid out "a chess piece, a violinist's bow, a gold medal, a paint brush, and a pencil."

In the present day, the teens are preparing for the 10th annual Prodigy Ball, a two-day, media-deluged showcase hosted by Button. Perdita, Bilal, Fola, and Octavius--nicknamed by journalists "the Artist, the Olympian, the Brain, the Maestro" respectively--will all be featured. Romeo, "the Failure," will not. But the media's characterizations are hardly the full story for the Button children. Fola, a chess champion, struggles with proving herself to her father and her role as secondary parent to her siblings. Octavius, who is regularly heartbroken and detached from his family, runs away to boarding school. Bilal, a "the world's youngest Olympic fencing gold medalist," has a mysterious, potentially career-ending injury. And Perdita painted her "supposed masterpiece... over two years ago" and hasn't been able to paint since. When Leontes's battered body is found the morning after the showcase, the police arrive and lock down the manor. Everyone becomes a suspect--Button's assistant, the "award-winning publicist," and all five Button children--as plentiful motives and devastating secrets are uncovered.

Àbíké-Íyímídé (Ace of Spades; Where Sleeping Girls Lie) delivers a gripping, emotional, slow-burn family drama that is also a masterful mystery. Told in four acts, the author focuses the first half on the siblings' inner lives, strained family bonds, and burdens of expectation. All five siblings have distinct voices as well as their own complicated knots of relationships. Àbíké-Íyímídé gives the second half to the investigation, exploring the roots of the Button family: nature vs. nurture, power and status, love and obsession. Teen fans of The Inheritance Games, The Umbrella Academy, or Knives Out should revel in this exhilarating mystery held in the halls of wealth and prestige. --Natasha Harris, freelance reviewer

Shelf Talker: In this rousing, suspenseful locked-door YA murder mystery, five adopted teen prodigies must solve the mystery of their billionaire father's murder.
