What if you could take a vacation to your past? This week we're featuring a special pre-order opportunity for bestselling author Emma Straub's This Time Tomorrow.

Pre-order now to receive a signed copy of This Time Tomorrow, publishing May 17th, 2022. Supplies are limited! 

“Straub excels at capturing the essence of a specific place and time from Mallorca to the Hudson Valley. In doing that, she reflects back to us an image of the people we want to be. Within her sprawling cast of characters, there often is a better version of the person we want to be. Straub’s novels are a bit of fun, comfort amidst the turmoil of the pandemic.” —The Chicago Review of Books
