Updates

Hi guys.
We've been a bit lax with the posts lately, so we're sorry about that.
Here are a few things that have been happening at our store lately:

- As you all know, we had a Harry Potter release party here on the release date of the final book. We all had fun dressing up and all the customers were really eager to get their books. We even had a group of people waiting outside before we even arrived at the store! We had a pinata and a small group of children had a blast bashing at it with a broom stick. (The broom stick is a little worse for wear, though.) We didn't play all the games we had planned though, because everyone wanted to rush straight home to start reading! I think everyone appreciated the donuts though, and the deal the Donut King here offered our customers for the weekend was well received.
Once I'd finished working, I followed precedent and rushed home to read Deathly Hallows too (and I thought it was a great final book).

- The 2007 Books Alive promotion started the week after the Harry Potter release. For those of you who haven't seen the ads or come across the guide - the Books Alive promotion basically gives away a free book if you purchase any one of the selected books.
The free book this year, The Ballad of Les Darcy, is one Peter Fitzsimons (author of Kokoda, Tobruk and others) has written specially for the promotion, so this is the only way to get it.
The selected books come from the Books Alive Great Read guide. If you haven't come across a copy of the guide, we have plenty here in store, so drop in and pick one up.

- As you can see from post below, we have a catalogue sale currently running. A few things have sold out already, but there are still some great titles left to be snapped up.

That's just about it from us at the moment. We have a high school student on work experience with us this week. We're showing him the ropes and a bit about how the store and the industry works (and discussing a lot of teen fantasy books in the process). So if you come in this week, you might be able to meet him too.

Happy reading everyone, and don't forget to ask us about anything specific you're after.
