I had a mother who read to me.” ― Strickland Gillian.

See you at the Arnes Farmers’ Market May 2023!If you don’t know already, I’m closing the 33 Centre Street location of Lucky Stone Books. I’m returning with my books to the Arnes Farmers’ Market, starting May Long Weekend 2023. I’m proud of the great selection and the excellent condition of the current and in-demand titles at discount prices that I’m able to sell at the market. The market really is The Happy Place! There will be fresh stock every week — please let me know what you want to read! Therefore, we will no longer offer trades or exchanges, especially unsolicited. If you do have a few hot authors/titles in excellent condition, please speak to Kristine or email luckystonebooks@gmail.com — I might occasionally purchase in small quantities on Sundays, just depends on my stock that week. . . |

Lucky Stone Books may be looking for certain titles!Generally, I prefer to hunt for books on my own, as I have a long list of requests from customers, and it’s fun for me! However, once the season gets going, I’ll post specific authors or titles I’m keen to get my hands on, and will purchase (no for trade or exchange) in small quantities, usually on Sundays at the Arnes Farmers’ Market. Please take your boxes of gently used books to thrift and charity shops. Thank you! |

Snuggle up with a Book!Some of my favourite winter reads take place during a snowstorm (of course!), include Shari Lapena’s The Unwanted Guest, Taylor Adams’ No Exit, The Retreat by Elizabeth de Mariaffi, and so many more. But I recommend Agatha Christie this winter, along with some of the new holiday romance novels. Enjoy your hibernation ; > |

There has been a used bookstore on Centre Street in Gimli since 1996, first as Pages, then as Up a Stump and Man Cave, and now Lucky Stone Books. The stored is owned and operated by Kristine Dubois, one of Manitoba’s all-time book lovers!

I’m deep into @StephenKing Fairy Tale, so delighted with the story and how he says things that mean so much to me; it dawns on me: this writer has consistently enriched my life for 43 years, since I picked up “Carrie” at age 12. Astounding. Grateful.
@luckystonebooks at 33 Centre St in Gimli is now closed. Thank you to all my book-loving customers; I hope you’ll visit me at the Arnes Farmers’ Market, starting May long weekend 2023. Stay in touch with your book requests 📖
