Forget about the "New Year, New Me" incentive for 2024. We love you just the way you are and want to help encourage the growth of that spirit for 2024! We're kicking off the New Year, by hosting a reading challenge, with a new theme each month — follow along with us or buy ahead/catch up. You can join anytime throughout the year — come December, participants who purchased books from us in those 12 categories will be entered into a drawing for bookish prizes. 

 

How to Play:

Stop by CoffeeTree Books to get a custom bookmark with the year's themes and space for tracking your reads, sign up for the challenge, and return your finished reading log when you're done. Prize winners will be announced in December 2024.

 

Happy New [reading] Year!

​

September Reading Challenge

As an independent bookstore, we can't help but want to support independent publishers. In that vein, September's theme is "from an Indie Press."

 

Check out our in-store display for Indie Pressbooks as well as staff picks! (BONUS: Buy a staff pick and save 10%.)

​

August Reading Challenge

Bookstore Romance Days happen in August, so we figured that was good jumping off point for this month's reading challenge: Romancing the Tome. (A little 80s movie throwback doesn't hurt either!)​
