Happy Monday, beautiful humans! 🌟

As many of you know, the Book Exchange has been temporarily closed for a good while now. Thank you for being patient, we're making progress!

That being said, we know you all miss your books, so we've decided to do a pop-up book sale with the books we have at the Novel Rose🥀 The sale will be August 20th, the Third Thursday in downtown Foley, from 5~7 PM. Rain or shine, because let's be honest... we never really know around here😌🌦️

We won't be able to put all of our books out but take a peek below and let us know if there's anything you'd like to get! (Apologies for the massive photo drop🤣😇)

As a note, we are no longer offering alcoholic beverages, but we do still have delicious drinks for all ages and some snacks to enjoy.

We look forward to seeing y'all again! Happy Reading! 📖

Here's another local author on the featured guest list for Thursday, 7/16/26, from 5pm to 7pm.

This is your chance to meet best selling author Shelby Du Plessis! ✍

Shelby Du Plessis is a dark-fantasy author whose stories explore the fragile line between love and ruin.
Her work includes the Psychosis trilogy, Vel Crow Ghost, and the mythic Emperor’s Unto Gods series (Oblivion, Sentience, Ascension, *Tempus, and *Elegy).

She writes about broken gods, haunted realms, and characters who refuse to stay dead. If you enjoy emotional devastation, cosmic mythology, and the kind of fantasy that lingers long after the last page, you’re in the right place.

Here's another local author on the featured guest list for Thursday, 7/16/26, from 5pm to 7pm.

Introducing Timothy L. Knight and his thrilling Files of the BPRC series, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙, 𝙒𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙒𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙘𝙚. Get your own signed copies!

“After a catastrophic accident at a Texas quantum research facility, reality shifted, and the monsters of myth became real. To contain the threat, the Bureau of Preternatural Relations and Control (BPRC) was born.

Agent Liam Sullivan, stationed in Mobile, Alabama, knows better than anyone: these creatures aren’t misunderstood heartthrobs, they’re predators.

When a feral werewolf pack surfaces in the remote Louisiana woods, breaking every known rule, Liam, his partner Jonesy, and local Deputy Sam Gorman are thrust into a brutal hunt where nothing behaves as expected. As the line between hunter and hunted blurs, survival will cost more than bullets and bravado.

This is the first entry in The Files of the BPRC, where monsters are monsters, and happy endings aren’t guaranteed.”

Here's another local author on the featured guest list for Thursday, 7/16/26, from 5pm to 7pm. She will be bringing the entire series of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑶𝒓𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒔!

Madalyn Rae is the pen name for someone who’d rather not explain to her coworkers or her mother that she writes about vampires, werewolves, and the occasional (okay, frequent) steamy scene.

By day, she teaches tiny humans the magic of music, and by night, she dives into fictional worlds filled with fantasy, love, and the supernatural. Her stories are often born from vivid dreams and a wild imagination that refuses to rest.

She lives along the beautiful Gulf Coast, where the sand is white, the water is warm, and the tourists are always hogging the good spots. She shares her life with two mildly obnoxious dogs, Whiskey and Tippi, and is the proud mom of two incredible adult children, a son-in-law, and a beautiful new grandson.

When she’s not writing or wrangling her pups, you’ll find her lost in a song, either playing or singing, because in her world, music is the truest kind of magic.

Here's another local author on the featured guest list.

She's also an online personality who does in-person guided meditations and makes amazing promotional videos for businesses.

Stay tuned for more! The event is on 7/16/26 from 5pm to 7pm.
