We have known and worked with beloved local author <a href="http://www.johncoy.com/">John Coy</a> since Addendum started four and a half (!) years ago, so it was a great pleasure to launch his newest book, GAP LIFE, with an event at Addendum. In attendance were numerous family members, friends, other local authors, and fans. It was a wonderful celebration of John and his work.<br />

We like to go with themed treats for our book events whenever possible, and we got a lot of ideas from GAP LIFE (the not-so-healthy spread courtesy of the main character and teenage boy, Cray). ;)<br />

He then held a Q&A and signed copies of his books for those in attendance (and some extra copies for sale at Addendum in case you weren't able to be there!).<br />

We had the pleasure of working with talented local author and illustrator <a href="http://www.laurenstringer.com/">Lauren Stringer</a> to launch her newest picture book, YELLOW TIME. It's always a joy to work with Lauren, and this event was no exception! <br />
<br />

Guests had lemonade and leaf cookies while Lauren explained her process of making the book to us.<br />

We were thrilled to celebrate the release of <a href="http://www.sarahahiers.com/" target="_blank">Sarah Ahiers</a>' debut novel, <a href="http://www.sarahahiers.com/books.html" target="_blank">ASSASSIN'S HEART</a>, tonight, in partnership with <a href="http://www.hamline.edu/" target="_blank">Hamline University</a>!<br />

<br />
We have worked with Hamline for the past couple of years as the bookseller during their <a href="https://www.hamline.edu/cla/mfac/" target="_blank">MFAC</a> (MFA in writing for children and young adults) residency twice a year. It is always such a pleasure to be there, spending time with the students, faculty, and graduates of the program.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was during one such residency (about two years ago, already!) that Sarah approached us about hosting her launch party. We said a resounding "YES!" <br />
<br />

<br />
We got the chance to read Sarah's novel ahead of time to plan for the party, and we were blown away! Hamline has an incredible amount of talent in their program (students and teachers alike). We loved this novel, and were so pleased to get to celebrate it with Sarah's friends, family, and fans! It was extra-special to celebrate at <a href="https://www.hamline.edu/cla/mfac/" target="_blank">Hamline</a> - thank you to them for partnering on this event with us!<br />

<br />
Thank you so much for your support of Addendum! We moved into our new location on Cleveland and Randolph this past summer, and were blown away by the welcome we received from before we were even open all the way through the holiday season. <br />
<br />

<br />
Customers followed us from our old location, and we have gained new
customers (and friends!) in our current space. This
bookstore is our dream, and sharing it with you is what makes it really
special. We thank you for all you have done since we opened our doors,
and we wish you all the best in 2016 - we look forward to what this new
year will bring! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Addendum Books has partnered with the <a href="https://www.loft.org/" target="_blank">Loft Literary Center</a> to bring you several amazing opportunities this summer! First up, this Saturday, June 28th you can meet <a href="http://www.joellecharbonneau.com/" target="_blank">Joelle Charbonneau</a>, author of The Testing trilogy! There are two ways to meet her. If you are a teen between the ages of 13 and 17, you can sign up for a writing class at the Loft with Joelle as your teacher! The class is from 1pm-3pm, and as you can see from the flyer above, the class will be on world-building. Visit the Loft's website for <a href="https://www.loft.org/classes/detail/?loft_product_id=75750" target="_blank">more information on the class</a>, and to register. The cost is $35, but there are also scholarships available, so don't hesitate to contact us about that! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also on June 28th, we are hosting our first teen open mic night [catchier name coming soon…] in collaboration with the Loft! Joelle Charbonneau will be our special guest author for the evening. She will be listening to teens read their own work, and will be available for signing her books. The event starts at 7:00pm. If you are a teen interested in reading your work at our store, please email us at: addendum books [at] gmail [dot] com. Each reading can be as long as 3-5 minutes. Space is limited, but there are a few spots left!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you can't make it this Saturday, you have two more opportunities this summer to join us for an open mic night! On Friday, July 25th kids age 6-12 will be able to read their work starting at 6pm, and at 7pm on the same night, teens age 13-19 can read their work. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our third open mic night will be at 6pm (for ages 6-12) and 7pm (ages 13-19) on Friday, August 15th.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There will be at least one published guest author in attendance at each reading (authors for the evenings TBA). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Again, please don't hesitate to contact us if you (or your child) are eligible for our open mic night and would like to participate!</span><br />

Support Hachette Authors! Shop Indie! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WUYJWsDUUTQ/U5Cxd1EBFkI/AAAAAAAAHDw/hgnYn66ZP5I/s1600/H+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WUYJWsDUUTQ/U5Cxd1EBFkI/AAAAAAAAHDw/hgnYn66ZP5I/s1600/H+1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you been following the ongoing dispute between Amazon and Hachette? If not, you can start by reading <a href="http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/05/10/technology/writers-feel-an-amazon-hachette-spat.html?hpw&rref=books&_r=3&referrer" target="_blank">this article</a> from the New York Times (edited to add: and the LA Times explains everything really clearly in <a href="http://www.latimes.com/books/jacketcopy/la-et-jc-amazon-and-hachette-explained-20140602-story.html?track=rss&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=717819#page=1" target="_blank">this article</a>). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Learn more by watching <a href="http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/t1nxwu/amazon-vs--hachette---sherman-alexie?xrs=synd_facebook_060514_cn_11" target="_blank">this video</a> of <a href="http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/" target="_blank">Stephen Colbert</a> and <a href="http://fallsapart.com/" target="_blank">Sherman Alexie</a> (author of <a href="http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sherman-alexie/the-absolutely-true-diary-of-a-part-time-indian/9780316013680/" target="_blank">The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian</a>). Both Stephen and Sherman are published by Hachette. As Sherman says in the video, "They [Amazon] want a monopoly. They control 40-50% of the book market, and they want more. And the only way they can do that is by forcing the book prices lower and lower and lower and making it impossible for more and more publishers to publish their books." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MaYKwd_IKAw/U5CxfR1jn2I/AAAAAAAAHD8/HthCTVnZKLk/s1600/H+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MaYKwd_IKAw/U5CxfR1jn2I/AAAAAAAAHD8/HthCTVnZKLk/s1600/H+2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Basically, Amazon is trying to force Hachette to give them a better deal on books by withholding their sales of Hachette books (which, unfortunately, is a huge percentage of a publisher's sales). They are, among other things, not putting the pre-order button on Hachette authors, not offering a major discount on the price for customers, delaying shipping by weeks and weeks, and suggesting you might like books published by other publishers entirely. And who is getting hurt in all of this? The authors, of course!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, what can you do about it? You can buy your books from indie bookstores, like Addendum! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As author and illustrator, and recent <a href="http://www.hbook.com/boston-globe-horn-book-awards/#_" target="_blank">Horn Book Award winner</a>, <a href="http://www.peterbrownstudio.com/" target="_blank">Peter Brown</a> says:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">"I ... love the culture of books. I love places filled with books. I love talking about books. I love the power of books. And I really love people who love books, which is why I love booksellers.<br /><br />Booksellers are curious and intelligent and interesting people and they’re always finding new things to be excited about, thanks to the books they get to know. They love matching the right book with the right reader. They bring authors and artists into our neighborhoods. They do story times for children. They provide a setting to learn and grow and interact with our communities. There would be no book culture without booksellers.<br /><br />(Nor would there be book culture without libraries, librarians, publishers, and readers. They are all required. But back to booksellers…)<br /><br />So I’ve been confused by the bizarre negotiations between Amazon (a different kind of bookseller, but a bookseller nonetheless) and my publisher, Hachette. Things have gotten messy, and as a pressure tactic Amazon has made it difficult or impossible to buy Hachette’s books, including my books.<br /><br />It actually makes me sad that Amazon, a bookseller, would be willing to hold my books hostage. I thought Amazon loved books? I thought it loved MY books? How could it hold books hostage if it loves them?<br /><br />The answer, of course, is that Amazon does not love books. To Amazon, books are just a Loss Leader. Amazon loses money on books, but uses them to lure customers toward more profitable things. “Check out our mysteriously cheap books,” whispers Amazon. “And since you’re here, why not reorder some regularly priced batteries and soap?”<br /><br />To sell things like batteries and soap Amazon has driven down the price of books, which has convinced people that books aren’t worth much. But books have value. Books change lives, and they’re beautiful objects, and they have a special place in our history and culture. Books are worth a lot.<br /><br />Bookstores that can’t compete with Amazon’s artificially low prices die off. When bookstores disappear, so do booksellers and book culture.<br /><br />And now Amazon is taking aim at publishers. Now Amazon is holding my books hostage.<br /><br />Amazon is destroying my favorite things!</span> </span> <br />
...<br />
<br />
What do you think will happen if Amazon succeeds and destroys its competition? Do you think it will continue slashing prices when it’s the only bookseller left? Do you think it will continue giving us great bargains out of the kindness of its heart? Am I the only one who wants to live in a world with lots of bookstores and and book culture and a healthy publishing industry?<br />
<br />
I love bargains as much as the next guy, but I have limits. I could not support a company that used, say, slave labor, no matter how great their bargains. (<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/dec/01/week-amazon-insider-feature-treatment-employees-work" target="_blank">And Amazon’s working conditions aren’t much better than slave labor</a>). Likewise, I cannot support a company that is destroying so many of my favorite things."<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Edited to add: another <a href="http://dansantat.tumblr.com/post/88007964572/amazon-vs-hachette" target="_blank">great post</a>, this time by <a href="http://www.dantat.com/DANTAT.COM/DAN_SANTAT_author___illustrator.html" target="_blank">Dan Santat</a>. Click through to read the whole thing, but here's part: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"Amazon isn’t drastically discounting books to make it more affordable to enlighten you or to crush the evil greedy publishing empire. Amazon sells books (more commonly at at a loss of profit) because they are taking the chance that they can crush brick and mortar stores.</span><br />
...<br />
Amazon doesn’t care. It just wants to make money regardless if content is good or bad.<br />
<br />
Lastly, the notion that publishers are greedy is asinine.<br />
<br />
I’m looking at my 1981 copy of Jumanii and it cost me $17.95. That’s relatively the same cost you pay for picture books now. In 1981 my parents could fill up the gas tank in their car for $10. Now, you’re looking at anywhere from $40-$80 (sometimes even more) to fill up your tank. In 35 years it now costs you, on average, 6X more to fill your tank. Yes, inflation on goods will go up after 35 years but in that time Jumanji is the same price now as it was 35 years ago.<br />
<br />
That’s not greed.<br />

The event will be held at <a href="http://www.sibley.isd197.org/" target="_blank">Henry Sibley High School</a>, 1897 Delaware Ave., Mendota Heights 55118.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The official press release:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"“On May seventeenth, a host of Young Adult authors will be coaxed, blinking and scowling, from their dank, spidery garrets and asked to share a host of astonishing secrets with their readers. Or something like that. I will be among them.” Pete Hautman, award-winning author.<br /><br />The first Teen Lit Con, coming up on Saturday, May 17, 2014, at Henry Sibley High School from 9:30-4:30, is honored to welcome Pete Hautman and many other wonderful Young Adult authors from out of town and closer to home. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Those traveling to our fair state include Derf Backderf (author of the graphic bio MY FRIEND DAHMER, an account of his teenage friendship with the future serial killer), Ally Condie (author of the MATCHED Trilogy, a #1 New York Times bestseller), Maureen Johnson (bestselling author of the Shades of London Series), and David Levithan (editor turned bestselling author of books including NICK AND NORAH’S INFINITE PLAYLIST). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Minnesota authors include Swati Avasthi, Anne Greenwood Brown, Catherine Clark, Pete Hautman, Geoff Herbach, and Carrie Mesrobian. <br /><br />The all-day lit con is free and open to everyone, no registration required. There are writing workshops with authors; a publication workshop featuring an author, an agent, and an editor; an exhibit hall featuring local publishers, the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, a literary-themed photo booth, and much more. There will also be concessions – cash only, so stop at the ATM on your way. <br /><br />Members of the Page Warriors, the teen advisory group for the Henry Sibley library, can hardly wait to meet their favorite authors: “I'm so excited for TeenLitCon!! I'm fan-girling so hard right now!!” says Victoria, 14. <br /><br />Carrie Mesrobian, this year’s Minnesota Book Award winner in the Young Adult Literature category, points out that, “what's special about conferences like Teen Lit Con isn't what happens during them. It's what will happen after. Which will be: a flurry of teenagers rushing home to read new books and attack abandoned writing projects with fresh enthusiasm.” <br /><br />Sponsors & Partners include MELSA (Metropolitan Library Service Agency), Henry Sibley High School, Clean Water Land & Legacy Amendment, Metronet, Mackin Educational Resources, and Addendum Books. Visit <a href="http://teenlitcon.org/">teenlitcon.org</a> for complete author profiles, a more detailed schedule of events, and other information." </span><br />

Every year, commemorative events are held nationwide at schools, libraries, bookstores, homes -- wherever young readers and books connect!

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pete had a special deal for attendees who purchased at least one book from the trilogy today at Addendum. In his own words: </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Free Books.<br />That's right. I am so desperate for readers I'm GIVING away books on Mothers Day. And you don’t even have to be a mom!<br />Yes, there is a catch. There’s always a catch, right?<br />Here’s the catch. You must come to Addendum Books between 1:00 and 2:30 the afternoon of May 11. That’s THIS Sunday. Mom’s Day. <br />Addendum Books specializes in YA literature, and they know their stuff. The shop is in St. Paul's Cathedral Hill District, at the corner of Selby and Western, in the lower level of the Blair Arcade. It’s tucked into the back of a full size general interest bookstore. It’s a bookstore-within-a-bookstore! It’s like a Tardis, only bookier! (Addendum will be moving into a new space soon—stay tuned!)<br />I'll be there signing copies of the Klaatu Diskos Trilogy and I might even read a few pages. Everybody who buys at least one of the trilogy gets a free book from my specially selected backlist of adult titles (Doohickey, Ring Game, Rag Man, or The Prop, as supplies last). Or, if you want to stick with YA, a copy of Full House, an anthology of YA poker-themed short stories that I edited.<br /><br />I'm doing this because I'd love for people to discover and support Addendum Books, and because I need to make room on my bookshelves. Also, I want to get you all hooked on the Klaatu Diskos trilogy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A huge thank you to Pete for this very</span> <span style="font-size: large;">generous offer - everyone loved receiving a gift along with their purchase! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our second <a href="http://www.sppl.org/teens/brave" target="_blank">Read Brave</a> day with <a href="http://rainbowrowell.com/blog/" target="_blank">Rainbow Rowell</a> took place at the <a href="http://www.sppl.org/about/locations/central-library" target="_blank">St. Paul Central Library</a>. Two high school groups attended - OWL (<a href="http://open.spps.org/" target="_blank">Open World Learning Community</a>) and SPCPA (<a href="http://spcpa.org/" target="_blank">St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts</a>) - but it was also open to the public (including some fans who drove 7 hours to see Rainbow!). </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today was a busy day, with three events with YA author <a href="http://rainbowrowell.com/blog/" target="_blank">Rainbow Rowell</a>. You may remember we sold books at <a href="http://addendumbooks.blogspot.com/2013/10/rainbow-rowell-day-1-panel-at-msu.html" target="_blank">her</a> <a href="http://addendumbooks.blogspot.com/2013/10/rainbow-rowell-day-2-avalon-and-harriet.html" target="_blank">events</a> last time she was in town, and we were thrilled to work with her and <a href="http://www.sppl.org/" target="_blank">Saint Paul Public Library</a> again as part of their <a href="http://www.sppl.org/teens/brave" target="_blank">Read Brave</a> program (last year's <a href="http://addendumbooks.blogspot.com/2013/02/as-king-school-and-library-visits.html" target="_blank">Read Brave</a> <a href="http://addendumbooks.blogspot.com/2013/02/as-king-event-at-addendum.html" target="_blank">events</a> were with <a href="http://www.as-king.com/" target="_blank">A.S. King</a>).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SbfS3kZItf0/UxOzsnYtZvI/AAAAAAAAF9w/yCSIokjEVa8/s1600/RR+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SbfS3kZItf0/UxOzsnYtZvI/AAAAAAAAF9w/yCSIokjEVa8/s1600/RR+2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last fall, Rainbow was scheduled to present at the Anoka-Hennepin schools and libraries (and Addendum was working with the librarians there). Then she was <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/north/228805531.html" target="_blank">disinvited</a> - and during Banned Books Week, no less!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HRZBXCm2UnA/UxOz6xRZhbI/AAAAAAAAF_I/wRitcaVq_IQ/s1600/RR+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HRZBXCm2UnA/UxOz6xRZhbI/AAAAAAAAF_I/wRitcaVq_IQ/s1600/RR+3.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After Anoka-Hennepin backed out, SPPL reached out to Rainbow, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/north/228805941.html" target="_blank">inviting her</a> to be a part of their Read Brave program for her book <a href="http://rainbowrowell.com/blog/book/eleanor-park/" target="_blank"><i>Eleanor & Park</i></a> (which recently won a <a href="http://www.ala.org/yalsa/printz" target="_blank">Printz Honor</a>). For Read Brave, as a community we all read the same book - one that is written bravely, and deals with important topics (such as bullying, abuse, and love, in this case). Then, together, we discuss the book. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Read Brave happens in February, but SPPL had Rainbow come in the fall as well, closer to when she had been originally scheduled. You can read about our fall events <a href="http://addendumbooks.blogspot.com/2013/10/rainbow-rowell-day-1-panel-at-msu.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://addendumbooks.blogspot.com/2013/10/rainbow-rowell-day-2-avalon-and-harriet.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We started in the morning at the <a href="http://www.sppl.org/about/locations/rondo" target="_blank">Rondo library</a> with a conversation about <i>Eleanor & Park</i> with SPPL librarians. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After the talk, Rainbow signed books. </span><br />
