This has been a fabulous year for Montana authors. Here are a few of the congratulations we’d like to make:

Kevin Michael Connolly will appear on the Today Show tomorrow (Wednesday, December 23rd). His book, Double Take, has been so popular with our customers that we are currently out of stock and it is back-ordered. Go to Kevin’s blog to hear what he has to say about it. Update: As of 12/30/09 Double Take is again IN STOCK.

Maile Meloy’s latest offering, Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It, has been selected one of the New York Times’ ten best books of the year (fiction category).

Greg Mortenson’s follow-up to the beloved Three Cups of Tea, Stones Into Schools, has already rocketed up the New York Times Bestseller list and since its release less than a month ago (December 1st), has become the Country Bookshelf’s bestselling title of the the entire year. (As of this writing – 12/22 – we still have signed copies.)

So, many congratulations and thanks go to these and all the other local authors who have been so successful and so kind to us this year.  Thank you for letting us be your local bookshop. Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year!
