Welcome to Mad Rye Books' Our Bookish Blog, your go-to source for the bookish scoop! Dive into the world of literature with us as we explore new releases, share news about your favorite authors, and recount the quirky tales from our very own book shop in Mesa, Arizona.
Are you someone who loves to curl up with a good book, a warm beverage, and cozy socks? Do you find joy in the scent of old paper and the turning of a new page? If you live in Arizona, one of the colder winter states, or even Canada, then you're exactly who we're writing this blog for! We're crafting content tailored for book lovers like you.
Our goal is simple: to foster a vibrant community of book enthusiasts and encourage you to visit our store, both online and in person. We want to be more than just a place to buy books; we want to be a gathering place for those who share our passion.
At Mad Rye Books, we believe that a book may change your day, but the right book can change your life. We hope our blog can help bring that change to you.
Come visit our store in Mesa, Arizona, at the Mesa Marketplace! We have lots of books and the kind of accessories that readers love.
Mad Rye Books started a GoFundMe to purchase books for children that come into our shop. We believe that economics should not be a barrier to education and entertainment. Through the grace of some very early and generous donors, we were already able to put in our first order of over 250 free books that will go into the hands of children passing through Mesa Marketplace with their families!
I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I've spent these last couple weeks buying stock for the shop and then assembling that stock for the shop. I say assembling because we are offering "Date with a Book" this year. I went ahead and made a TON of stock for October (Horror and Thrillers), November (Autumn Cozy Mystery), and December (Christmas Romances). I also had to fill two racks with random picks that I was certain most people hadn't read yet, but also novels that still got high scores on goodreads.
