Game of Thrones meets The Truman Show in this epic tale of a Hollywood-owned fantasy world where nothing is quite as it seems to the people who live and die at the studio’s whim.

Now onto the first event of Summer here at the shop.

June is National Audiobook month and we are celebrating it with our partner Libro.fm. If you love audio books, are interested or curious about them, and/or love crafts we are hosting an Audiobook afternoon on JUNE 14TH!

From 3pm-5pm we invite you to stop by the shop, take a seat, and listen to an audio book here with others as we celebrate the month in no better style than listening to someone read you a story. Don’t worry, you can listen to any book you like, there is no need to share more information than you like about what you are listening to, nor will you have to listen to anything anyone else is listening to if you do not like.

Plus! One great thing is that up to ten lucky participants will receive a free audiobook credit from the wonderful people at Libro.fm to be redeemed for any audiobook of your choice. Also one lucky person will have a chance to receive a full year of audiobooks free from Libro.fm. (12 audiobook credits).

Snacks and crafts will be provided where possible. We will have seating, puzzles, and other small projects to work with as possible. Feel free to bring in your own as you sit an enjoy listening to your story in the welcoming and cozy atmosphere here at Seymour’s!

This event is free, but please RSVP with the shop by stopping by, calling/texting in, or leaving a message here on the site or on Facebook. 😀

New Arrivals for the Week

Hey Everyone,

It’s that time again. New arrivals here at the store. Good amount of personal orders rolled through the shop this week, but as always we like to pepper in some new titles here at the shop. Always something to come in and look at, take home, sit beneath the nearest tree and enjoy. Especially with the word that we are going to get some hot weather moving in for a few days. Apparently going to feel like the dog days of summer for a few. Personally, that can stay far away in my opinion. I prefer my days to be nice and warm, but with just the right amount of chill to enjoy the difference between the sun and the shade.

The Last Contract of Isako

A battle-worn corporate samurai undertakes one last mission on a merciless planet where death is always a mere breath away, in this standalone dystopian epic from the author of the modern fantasy classic Jade City. LIVE BY THE CODE. DIE BY THE KNIFE.

Death’s Daughter

New Arrivals and Daily Updates

Hello All!

Welcome to the semi-new look here at Seymour’s Little Shop of Books’ website. I know it may feel like it’s been changed many times, and honestly it has, but for good reason. Building this thing up from the ground with bigger dreams than I can do myself has led to several attempts that really weren’t working out. Sites were quickly made with some AI help that just didn’t feel right to me, and others were made by hand with themes and background work that created way too many frustrations.

So, I’ve decided to do something that feels more like me and that is to build the site around two things. My enjoyment of writing and my enjoyment of sharing information about the store and the books inside of it. That is what you’ll find here on our site.

Semi-daily posts about things going on here at the shop, even if sometimes it is little more than ramblings about what the store gremlin is doing, and of course all the new books we bring in here at the shop or the ones we are looking most forward to. There will definitely be updates as new events are planned here at our growing shop and it will be the absolute best way to stay in touch and up to date with what we are doing.

That being said, here is a shoutout to our newest arrival here at the shop. Dungeon Crawler Carl has taken a lot of the world by storm and that has everything to do with the absolute outrageousness of the story in a time within our world where things feel so dark and dreary at times. From the first pages of book #1 there is little to hide how crazy some of this story can get and if you talk to any fan there is something within its pages that sucks you in and keeps you reading even if book #7 is over 800 pages long. We’ve had several people here at the shop who have spoken at length about how they don’t usually have the time to read or find as much enjoyment from it, but this series has pulled them in like no other.

Currently there are 8 books in this series and here at the shop we’ve made sure to bring in the newest edition. Right at the front of the store sits A Parade of Horribles waiting for someone to come in and bring it home.

Will that be you?

Need to start the series from the beginning? We’ve got you covered there as well.

Princess Donut awaits your attention and like any well-intentioned cat, you best heed that call or you’ll find every single thing on your counter knocked to the floor before you know it. Especially if it’s breakable.
