We have created a new section in our stores called . Reading novels, essays, poetry and philosophy can help us through difficult times in our lives. There is a human inclination to identify with others through literature, to form bonds with characters facing similar circumstances. When beset by sadness or indecision, we can be elevated and enlightened by powerful ideas.
We have chosen titles from every genre except self-help. There are titles from our teen fiction collection as well. We hope to rotate titles regularly to bring you an evolving selection of uplifting and empowering books.

As you may already know, we were pretty excited when we found out about March Mystery Madness last week. In fact, after a quick flurry of email conversations, we wound up sponsoring it.
With 64 of the best mystery and thriller novels pitted against each other in a six week competition, the first week of polling is done:
Narrow upsets, crushing defeats and last-second comebacks were all the rage. Blockbuster author Philip Margolin put up a fight, slashing his way to a narrow defeat against Andrew Taylor's Fallen Angel. Taylor now takes on Karin Slaughter, who squeaked out a narrow victory of her own over the beloved Louis Bayard and his The Pale Blue Eye. Will these close victories serve as inspiration or will fans of each author be satisfied just to be in the second round?
You can find the full list of 32 first-round winners here.
Don't forget to go vote for your favourites this week- it could mean a free library of 65 excellent books.
