The Help The Help
by Stockett, Kathryn
The Help recreates a time -- Mississippi in 1962 -- that is totally engrossing and pitch-perfect. This story of women in the South, black and white, in the eye of a hurricane of monumental change is thoroughly satisfying and enjoyable.--Sheila Burns, Bloomsbury Books (Ashland, OR)

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Kingsolver, Barbara, Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year, Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor, poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she and her family try to eat locally as much as they can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.” —Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR

Locating The Twig and Red Balloon...

The Twig Book Shop and Red Balloon are located three miles south of Loop 410 on the west side of Broadway, in front of Cappy's Restaurant. We're two blocks north of H-E-B's Central Market. Look for the blue stucco building with the Alamo-shaped facade next to Cappyccino's.

Author Birthday

Born on this date in 1866: Benedetto Croce.


Quote of the Day

"The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man's frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search."

- Max Lerner

From The Quotable Book Lover (Lyons Press)
