And The Mountains Echoed

andthemountain Khaled Hosseini’s newest novel And The Mountains Echoed is An Emotional, provacative, and unforgettable novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations.

It is also one of Samantha’s favourite books of the year, and given the number of books a bookstore owner reads in a year that is saying something.

Now Penguin Canada has introduced The Echo Project, a page by page multimedia project that lets you experience the novel in a whole new way. Stop by Bolen Books to pick up a copy of the book and then visit EchoProject.ca to continue your journey.

We Have 195 kg of Dan Brown’s Inferno Ready For Tuesday!

This Tuesday, May 14th at 8:30am we’ll have mountains of Dan Brown’s new book Inferno on hand for you. And we’re selling it at 20% off the cover price to boot!Inferno

Those of you who pre-ordered a copy, we’ll have your copy on hand at our front desk first thing Tuesday morning. Ready for you to pick up at your leisure!

Specifically, we have 195 kg worth of Inferno on hand. That’s about the same weight as an adult male lion. Although, significantly less lethal. Needless to say, we’d be pleased if you came in and took one of these home with you.

Publisher Comments: In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.

In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology, Robert Langdon, is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces… Dante’s Inferno.

Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust… before the world is irrevocably altered.
