Wise Blood KC

Time for another Monday Essential Read! America lately has kinda felt like the America Vonnegut feared for us all. Haha. Ha. But with Breakfast of Champions, he gifted us a framework for dark humor that we can use to make sense of the absurdor to at least exist within it. Breakfast of Champions was one of Vonnegut’s least favorite of his books, but it’s been my personal favorite since I first read it at 17. We’ve got new and used copies hanging around. Have a laugh and a cry at the same time!

Sometimes you have to not just dream about what could beyou get out and push and you pull and you preach. -John Lewis Change is a dynamic project. Keep pushing.

We’ve got a few reasons to celebrate today. One is that we’re gonna be open til SIX to make up for our closure yesterday. Just for the occasion, I’m putting out some wonderful freshly priced used books. Fiction, poetry, and essays are all here. Some classics and new favorites. Drop on by.

Hey! We’re back today, safe and clear. BUT we’ll be holding special hours. Come see us any time between 2:30 and 6 today! Back to normal hours (12-5) tomorrow!

In an overabundance of caution we have decided to close both Mills and Wise Blood today in order to test Mills staff that was exposed to a potential Covid case. This is a precautionary measure while we wait for test results. We wear masks at all times in the store even off the sales floor and have in place rigorous Covid protocols as your safety is a giant concern for us. Closing while waiting for rapid test results to come back is just an extension of that concern. We anticipate reopening as soon as we’re in the clear and you can shop via our website wisebloodbooksellers.com until then. Stay safe. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Love each other. See you soon.

Take a break from watching the news! Take a walk in the sunshine! Come visit your favorite neighborhood bookstore! Here today 12-5.
