"Too cold? We have heat! And books! (and free hot tea and cocoa)." That was a depths of winter invitation from Friendly Alien Books in Scranton, Pa., on its sidewalk chalkboard. The bookstore noted: "It's another cold one out there, but it's warm in here! And we've got plenty of cozy reads to help you hunker down this weekend. And with temps this cold, the free hot cocoa and tea are out, so come warm your hands while browsing the stacks."
