It`s that time of year again... and there`s just a few weeks left!!!!
Back of Beyond’s Books for Tots program has begun! Come in and support Moab`s youth by purchasing a book or two for our schools!
The mission of the Books for Tots program is to get books into the hands of as many kids in the Moab community as possible and we are proud that it has been going strong for over 15 years. Teachers from Moab institutions that work directly with kids come to the bookstore and hand pick 30 books for their respective libraries and book collections. Back of Beyond then invites the community to the bookstore to buy these books as a way of giving and donating to the youth of Moab.
Participating institutions this year include Early Intervention, Grand Preschool, HMK Elementary, Moab Charter School, Grand County Middle School, Grand County High School, Youth Garden Project, Beacon After School Program, Moab Valley Multicultural Center, Heron School, and the Student Career and Success Center.
Thank you Moab for always supporting this exciting and important program!

📕 Book Review of the week brought to you by Ash 📕
This is How You Lose The Time War
by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
I don’t even know where to start with this book, this is the kind of book you pick up and can’t put down once you get into it. The story is gripping, the dynamics are interesting, and the prose is poetic and gripping. I loved almost every aspect of this book and have reread it within a month of my first read-through. In my opinion, this book is short enough to read quickly and enjoy it once, or delve into multiple times and find new aspects to enjoy, new things that connect.
Following two characters kept apart by a never-ending time war, this story follows a perspective-switching back and forth, in a classic Romeo and Juliet-style story. There are both letters and chapters written by and from the perspectives of the characters, giving you insight into how they wish to be perceived versus how they truly are. The world in this book is very much the backdrop of the story, it doesn’t have much direct explanation. It leaves a lot of the inner workings of the universe and societies up to interpretation and intuition from the way the characters are moving through said world. The relationship between our two main characters shifts and grows even in the short 224 pages, and the tumultuous back and forth feels very realistic to the painful give and take of a complicated sapphic relationship. This book was a great read, with emotional beats, beautiful prose, and what I thought was the perfect ending, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a short, emotional, queer, sci-fi love story.
