New year; new you; new us; but most importantly: new books. 2023 is starting off with such an amazing wealth of new releases and the booksellers at Powell’s are so excited to get these into your hands. Last year, we published our book previews every four months, but this year we've had to move to a quarterly system; our excitement got so out of hand that we actually hit our blog's word limit! Ah well, I guess that's what happens when we're just too effusive about all the great new releases headed our way this year.
Regardless: whether you’re looking for haunting horror, vibrant poetry, steamy romance, challenging nonfiction, or something in between, we’ve got you covered. (And remember: preorders are the gift you give your later self, who will absolutely be grateful for them.)
Happy New Year! Happy reading!
Jump ahead to: JANUARY | FEBRUARY | MARCH
Unseelie is the story of Isolde and Iselia who are on the run from the fae when a heist goes awry. Iselia (Seelie) is an Autistic changeling trying to figure out how to control and utilize her magic in order to save herself and her sister. This is the Autistic representation in young adult sci-fi/fantasy we've been waiting for. — Rin S.
There's already a ton of well-earned buzz about The Survivalists — a literary dark comedy about a Black lawyer finding love with a coffee entrepreneur, and moving into a Brooklyn brownstone full of preppers and coffee beans (and with a bunker out back). It's getting a lot of comparisons to The Other Black Girl and The Sellout, which is already high praise — but my left-field vibes comparison is one of my favorite books from 2022, Disorientation. Kashana Cauly's debut is also about unraveling a certain kind of respectable life that was always precarious, the adventures that come from pulling on those threads, and benefits from the author deeply developing every not-quite-what-they-seem-but-not-how-you-expect character. — Michelle C.
I do not often get the chance to look at yet-to-be-released poetry books, but I am so very glad I was able to stumble upon an early copy of this book. Everything about this collection from the way it’s sectioned, to the amazing poem titles, to the formatting, is clearly a labor of passion and it pays off big time and all works together to enhance the beautiful poetry within. These poems will make you laugh, make you cry, and most importantly make you feel less alone. — Aster H.
Like seeing movement from the corner of your eye, only for there to be nothing when you turn your head, Liar, Dreamer, Thief defies any one genre. Katrina Kim is a 24-year-old woman whose life is spiraling out of control; her job sucks, her compulsions make even the simplest of tasks arduous, her apartment’s a disaster, she’s stalking her coworker, and her parents disowned her. She’s losing her already tenuous grip on reality, unable to trust her own eyes: like, did the aforementioned coworker really jump off a bridge in front of her? As someone with OCD, I couldn’t help but feel a kinship to Katrina. Her obsessions, compulsions, and anxiety are so well written — they're her comfort and salvation, her prison and tormentor, all wrapped into one. — Charlotte S.
A book we all knew would come eventually. Still, who among us could've predicted it would come with a title that hits so hard. You have to admit you're curious. — Sarah R.
I have been searching for a copy of this phenomenal, long-out-of-print collection for years. Get ready to be completely absorbed in these candid interviews with literary superstars of the 20th century — including Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Gayl Jones, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, and Alice Walker — about their work and their lives. It's an unbelievable gift to all of us that Haymarket is bringing this beloved collection back into print. — Michelle C.
When it comes to queer authors writing dystopian fiction, who better? Queer folk the world over live dystopian lives today what with conservative legislation drafted against their bodies, their existence fought over in libraries, bookstores, and classrooms, or their very lives threatened on the street. I Keep My Skeletons to Myself is undoubtedly crafted by an expert, created in an image of our world, with queer resistance and upending oppressive systems at its core. — Stacy Wayne D.
I want to dislike this early-Instagram employee's novel, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it instead — it's blurbed by so many of my favorite authors! it's got that lived-experience cheerfully dystopian startup setting! Blipping into other... worlds? Begrudgingly anticipating! — Michelle C.
Another Grady Hendrix Horror, Hot off the presses! A master at balancing the terrifying and hilarious, the author of hit titles such as Horrorstör and My Best Friend’s Exorcism is back with a supernaturally intense family drama. How to Sell a Haunted House is a perfect read for anyone familiar with the fraught dynamics of sibling relationships. I personally cannot wait to read about everything haunting this volatile brother and sister pair, regardless of whether the ghosts of the past are emotional or physical manifestations. — Kat H.
You can't swing a beloved reimagining of a creative writing workshop turned into a startling thoughtful book about the craft of writing without hitting well-earned praise for Matthew Salesses's work. His new novel, The Sense of Wonder, promises to tell a startling, thoughtful story of the first Asian American NBA player, the sportswriter covering his meteoric rise, and the producer trying to bring K-dramas to a stodgy market. I can't wait. — Michelle C.
I was a koala-obsessed kid, and overwhelmed a lot of polite adults with mile-a-minute fact-sharing from every school project I'd ever done about these fascinating animals (it usually ended with "and they're endangered, so you should see them while you have the chance.") Danielle Clode's book promises to dive into the details (it still feels wild that they effectively survive off of a toxic diet), and the big picture — including how they came to be the only (and increasingly rare) species left in a long family tree, and what the future might look like for koalas (which of course, is closely intertwined with the future of the planet and all of us). They're also the cutest animal in the world, and I'm counting on this book to bring more attention to this fact. Koalas are fascinating! We should learn about them before it's too late! — Michelle C.
I love a good novel of ideas, especially when the ideas that the novel dwells on relate to taking care of your mind, and making sure it can stay strong and open to the world, no matter how dark and scary that world might be (sound familiar?). This book promises to be warm and optimistic and curious: all things I desperately need to right now. I’m excited to pick this one up. — Kelsey F.
I’ve been looking forward to a full collection from Gabrielle Bates ever since reading her poem ‘The Dog’ (published a few years ago in The Offing) whose stoic oscillations between brutality and tenderness left me quietly awed and curious for more. Now 'The Dog' serves as the opening poem to her outstanding debut Judas Goat, a rightful overture to a book of granular intensity and wrestling across its weighty core elements: the entanglements of violence and eros; the torsions of marriage and mothering; the sustenance of queer art-making and friendship; and the psychic residue of a childhood spent in the Deep South. Possessing a deft (sometimes gut-wrenching) intuition for the literary image, Bates's book signals a vibrant year ahead for debut collections with poems that arrive at the level of the senses already in motion, like the back of an animal velvet-warm and writhing beneath the hand. — Alexa W.
Patricia Engel, author of the bookseller-beloved 2020 runaway hit Infinite Country returns this year with a new short story collection. Expect impeccable storytelling with illuminating themes of migration, sacrifice, community, and relisience. — Sarah R.
I’ve been looking forward to this sapphic rom-com for months! When consultant Rose takes on a passion project in the form of an indie film directed by filmmaker Ash, sparks fly in this sweet, steamy, slow-burn romance. Stetz-Waters tackles a few big topics with a light hand and plenty of humor – and the most adorable pugs! — Deana R.
Losing David Graeber was an incredible loss, but we’re so lucky to have this final posthumous book from him that focuses on 18th century pirate communities in Madagascar that experimented with self-governance and alternate social structures. Graeber’s work is always enlightening, radical, beautifully written, and utterly thought-through. — Kelsey F.
I'm so excited for Central Places, and not just because a bunch of my favorite authors have recommended it with their whole chests. (Celeste Ng: "A sensitive, sharp-eyed, slyly funny story of venturing back into the foreign country that is your past — and discovering that you can never really shake the places and people that shaped you...This book will resonate with anyone who’s tried to navigate the confusing terrain of family tensions, lost friendships, or embarrassing memories of youth: in short, pretty much everyone.") One of the things I find so compelling is that this book promises to be a sharp, insightful novel about identity, but I could almost read the premise as a rom-com (a genre I love!). I feel very confident saying this is not a rom-com, and I'm extra excited to see how this classic rom-com premise unspools through a completely different lens. — Michelle C.
This sequel to My Heart is a Chainsaw made me look around corners and made me want to rewatch the original Halloween! Jones takes us back to Proofrock on the hunt for an escaped serial killer who seeks revenge for the 38 Dakota who were hung in 1862. The punk-ish imperfect protagonist from the first book, Jade Daniels, is released from prison and reunites with old friends and enemies alike to hunt this killer down. This book is a blend of slasher movie, the paranormal, Indigenous history and lore, mystery, and jump-scares. — Vicky K.
Let me list the ways I find this book enticing: #1, that cover (right??). #2, Mariana Enriquez, an Argentinian author I’ve been obsessed with since her collection, Things We Lost in the Fire. #3, Kelly Link saying: “Our Share of Night is a novel so disquieting, so unsettling that I could neither put it down nor read it late at night.” #4, that cover, again. — Kelsey F.
A funny book that gets serious. A book about a liar that gets at big truths. Big Swiss is a wild ride that will leave you more than a little jostled. This is my favorite kind of literary fiction: the kind that is deeply affecting in a way that leaves me struggling to explain. How did Jen Beagin do it? — Keith M.
I will always read a woman discovering she's part of an ancient witch-y line story, and this one comes with an amazing cover story (tupperware parties??). Cherie Dimaline's Empire of Wild has also proved that we all win when she writes about a supernatural family quest. February 7 can't come soon enough! — Michelle C.
The fifteenth novel from the prolific Salman Rushdie, this time an ancient epic saga of love, adventure, myth, and storytelling. It’s amazing to think that this novel is hitting our shelves a short six months after the author survived a horrifying attack at a speaking event. — Moses M.
This book looks at feminist philosophers from the 17th and 18th centuries that have been effectively written out of our books and forgotten about. As someone who loves to think about thinking (and took the relevant courses in college), not recognizing the names of the lesser-known philosophers she writes about in this book felt bad!! And is something I intend to fix by reading this long-overdue reassessment, that brings these women to the for while challenging all of us to unpack our own internalized misogyny. — Kelsey F.
A debut novel that the publisher is billing as “The Virgin Suicides meets The Florida Project”?? A book about how sinister and mesmerizing girlhood can be?? Powell’s-favorite Kimberly King Parsons called this one “innovative, urgent, and endlessly lush” and Sophie Mackintosh described it as “polyphonically technicolor and lushly textured.” Sign me all the way up, yesterday. — Kelsey F.
Dark Academia meets My Dark Vanessa, and it comes out on Valentine's Day. I'm here for it. — Sophie C.
Malcolm Harris is back, with an ambitious history of Palo Alto (both as a case study for the world, and for how it has uniquely influenced the course of human history — or, the subtitle is A History of California, Capitalism, and the World). You might remember his previous books, Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millenials and Shit Is Fucked Up & Bullshit: History Since the End of History. Palo Alto continues his hot streak of stellar work. Harris argues that the speed of change in California (move fast, break things) is not a tech startup invention, and makes a case for why history has unfolded the way it did and what we could change to build a better world. It feels wild to call this 720-page tome "immensely readable," but it is! Harris has deeply researched and developed his analysis of 170 years of history, and synthesizes it with skill into prose that's both understandable and a joy to read. (I suspect it will also be a joy to listen to, if you prefer your giant books over audio.) — Michelle C.
Makkai had me at "Hello," and by "Hello" I mean the tweet where she announced this book, calling it "the literary feminist boarding school murder mystery you didn't know you needed!"
I Have Some Questions for You is all that and more. It swims through the gray areas of memory, perception, blame, guilt, and the ways we claim ownership over narratives that are maybe not ours to claim. Even while mentally screaming “maybe don’t enable this!” to the protagonist, I blazed through with a similar single-minded need to know where this went, who did it, and what will happen now. — Sarah R.
God, I love nonfiction books that combine a serious, compassionate look at a particular species (looking at you, H is for Hawk) alongside a look at their cultural foot(paw?)prints and their impact on the author and the author’s story. Wolfish starts with OR-7, the legendary wolf wandering through northeast Oregon, and then spirals out from there. I’m so excited to go on this journey, which promises to be beautifully written and thoughtfully constructed by author Erica Berry. — Kelsey F.
Any book that reimagines myth is one I want to read, but this future-dystopic interpretation of Antigone sounds amazing. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland still ruled by the human drives for glory and control, Antigone grapples with the weight of grief and of life in the gilded cage of her uncle Kreon's mansion. I'm excited to see how the different viewpoints complicate and enlarge the original myth. Power, love, the hunger for revenge, a sinister Archive in the last city on Earth — sign me up. — Claire A.
Colin Winnette’s novella, Coyote, was a staff favorite at the last bookstore I worked at; we’d pass it around like a secret, wanting to share the goods, but also not wanting to sell out of the few copies we had, because it was notoriously difficult to reorder. Ever since, I’ve watched Winnette’s books come out with extreme excitement: they’re always weird and unexpected, riveting and eager to mess with your mind. So it’s no surprise that I’m excited for Users, a book the publisher is saying will be enjoyed by fans of Ling Ma and the (non-Ling Ma) Severance TV show. As a fan of both, and Winnette — I’m so excited for this one. — Kelsey F.
The McElroys' brilliant graphic novel adaptation of their beloved podcast (with fantastic artwork by Carey Pietsch) has finally caught up to my favorite arc, and it was well worth the wait! In the vein of Groundhog Day or Palm Springs, our heroes have found themselves caught in a time loop on their most recent (Wild West-inspired) quest, and we begin to see a number of glimpses into the larger series' plot. I laughed, I teared up, I had to set it down to anxiously pace my living room; if you haven't picked up this series yet, now's a great time to start! — Madeline S.
I’ve been a fan of Jac Jemc ever since her debut novel, The Grip of It, kept me up multiple nights in a row. Although Empty Theatre seems like a very different project, I’m willing to let Jemc take me wherever she goes, especially if that means reading a “dreamscape of a novel” (Samantha Hunt) that fans of the recent movie, The Favourite are sure to eat up. Sounds delicious. — Kelsey F.
Vietnamese, bisexual, sapphic, atmospheric horror debut with a Silence-of-The-Lambs-esque cover written by a non-binary author? And you think I'm above making this book my entire personality?? Think again. There's no way I'm not obsessing over this book. I refuse to believe the hype is hollow. — Stacy Wayne D.
A gender flipped reboot of Taxi Driver amidst our current culture of alienation. A cover that's basically staring me down, daring me to read it. Blurbing authors casually saying things like "this novel had its hands around my neck" (Jean Kyong Frazier), "made me rock back and forth with awe" (Weike Wang), "so real it’s scary" (Mateo Askaripour), and "[full of] the urge to burn everything down" (Kristen Arnett). Bring it on. — Sarah R.
I’m such a sucker for contemporary retellings of fairy tales. In this case, a fifteen-year-old teenager living in the midwest whose life begins to fall apart when her mom lets a tyrannical crane into their home. Author Laura Ruby called this book “bloody, subversive, and brilliant”; I can’t wait to check out this novella that promises to be equal parts strange and wonderful. — Kelsey F.
How is this prequel longer than The Priory of the Orange Tree? Please Samantha... how will I carry it around?? Also, thank you. I would read one million pages about this world, these women, and these dragons. Priory made our Essential Sci-Fi + Fantasy of the 21 Century List last year where my fellow bookseller Carly lauded how it "harkens back to the best of classic fantasy...both epic in scale and scope." This standalone (you can start here if you want!!) prequel promises more of these things I love. — Sarah R.
It almost feels unfair to include sequels on our most anticipated lists — but we are so, so hyped for this one. Anatomy was, as my coworker Sarah put it in her recommendation, "clever, thrilling, fun, and gross (in a good way)." Hazel's back, and her particular set of skills (cutting up people) leads to unearthing secrets and untangling plots in King George IV's court. Read this, and find out why Neil Gaiman (!) calls Dana Schwartz "one of the brightest of the next generation of young writers." — Michelle C.
I’ve been obsessed with Eleanor Catton ever since I was completely consumed by The Luminaries, and have been obsessively waiting for her next book. I don’t think I could’ve guessed that her new book would be a psychological thriller that puts a guerrilla gardening group on a crash course with a doomsday-prepping billionaire, but — I’m here for it, and will trust Catton no matter where she takes me. Get in loser, we’re reading Eleanor Catton’s latest! — Kelsey F.
A debut novel that's a "beautiful, melancholy tide" about desire and memory, from Tin House, blurbed by Leslie Jamison? Any one of those things would pique my interest, but the combination has me very impatient for March 7. Thirst for Salt follows a young woman adrift after graduating college, living in a small coastal town. She meets a man nearly 20 years her senior and they begin a relationship that leads her to question who she is and what she wants of life. Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams, writes that this is a novel "whose momentum emerges not from melodrama but from the primal mysteries of human intimacy: How do people come together and come apart? Every once in a while, a novel enters my life that I know is destined to become part of my bloodstream. Thirst for Salt is one of those novels." I want it in my bloodstream too! — Claire A.
Jia Tolentino describes Jenny Odell's work as "the rarest kind of intervention: It alters you immediately, and then it lasts." If you've had the pleasure of reading Odell's 2019 refutation of the attention economy, How to Do Nothing, you know exactly what she means. In Saving Time, Odell explores how the clock we live by was built for profit, not people, and offers a vision of "saving" time by imagining a life outside standardized units. — Sarah R.
The Rib King was so good; Ladee Hubbard is so good! I'm extra excited for her latest, an interconnected collection of short stories set between the early nineties and mid-aughts, that Alice Randall describes as capturing "the absurd, charming, brave, beautiful, and grotesque acts that are the pivot points of specific Black lives." — Michelle C.
13-year-old Ruthy Ramirez disappeared after track practice; years later, her family sees someone who looks exactly like her (down to the birthmark on her face!) on a reality TV show. This sets off a family road trip across the country, to find their long-lost Ruthy, as well as confront the past and everything they haven’t been saying to one another. Add that riveting plot to the fact that it’s set in 2008 (an early-aughts period piece!) — I am here for it. — Kelsey F.
I love books with formal constraints that don't seem gimmicky (and, honestly, even ones that do), so this novel about a woman telling her life story to indifferent strangers at a bar sounds so interesting. Estranged from her family, back in her hometown, and ready to end it all, she monologues and drinks, drinks and monologues. Ling Ma, author of Severance and Bliss Montage, describes it as "utterly immersive...like an intimate conversation with a stranger at 1 am. It’s laced with stinging humor, clarifying wisdom, and the grainy detail of lived experience. This is a novel that seeps into your bones." I will be ready for March 14! — Claire A.
I was obsessed with Sabrina Orah Mark’s collection, Wild Milk, when I read it a few years ago — so strange, surreal, and oftentimes satisfyingly opaque. So when I saw this memoir-in-essays that looks at her world through then lens of fairy tales, I knew I’d be all in, especially once I connected it to her Paris Review column that I loved. I love Rebecca Solnit’s blurb for it, which I tried to cut down and then couldn’t bear to: “These are fairy tales that are essays on fairy tales but also incantations, confessions, news analysis, personal history, and reminders that fairy tales are dainty things capable of doing a lot of heavy lifting of the contents of our imaginations and the aches of our hearts.” Can’t wait. — Kelsey F.
After being mesmerized by Lianke's The Day the Sun Died, I'm excited to experience more of his unique satirical voice. The premise, described by the publisher as "the unlikely love story of a Buddhist nun and a Daoist priest" against the backdrop of "organized tug-of-war competitions between the religions," appears delectably absurd, tackling questions of religion, faith, and corruption. If that weren't enticing enough, this book will also include original papercut illustrations. Sign me up! — Mar S.
If you can’t tell by the cover, this is a cottagecore, flower-filled read. Clara is the sweetest main character, whose magic is abundant, chaotic, and inextricably a part of her. When her magic turns deadly, her ex-best friend agrees to help her, but only at a cruel price. Reading this feels like being transported into a Studio Ghibli movie. This slow-burn romantic fantasy is one you’ll want to cozy up for to read in one sitting. — Charlotte S.
A fairy tale that turns into a nightmare. A brother-sister relationship that’s complicated and loving. A young man reckoning with trauma alongside his queer coming-of-age. I was already on board when I read the description, but then I saw that Joy Williams (my beloved Joy Williams!) blurbed it: "Riveting, relentless, a novel of calm and chilling reserve and accomplishment." So now I know for sure-sure that this book is going to find its way onto my shelves. — Kelsey F.
This book got me locked in on basically every front, immediately: it’s been compared to Carmen Maria Machado and Alexandra Kleeman; the title is awesome; the author’s name is also awesome; the publisher copy says the stories are “queering the domestic and honoring the feral in all of us.” Literally, you don’t need to say more. Give me this speculative, alarming, exciting collection now, please. — Kelsey F.
Credit where credit is due, someone writing copy at Melville House sold me the hell out of this book: “a stylish debut novel about a young man whose reality unravels when he suspects his employers have inadvertently discovered time travel and are covering up a string of violent crimes.” Mysterious, malicious workplaces! Unpacking trauma! Ethnicity! Pop culture! Disgraced tech giants! Time travel! My coworker Michelle and I have been gushing over Flux since July and now that we’ve both read it, we need you to join us. Plus, that COVER. — Sarah R.
When I read Victor LaValle’s Big Machine, I remember being stunned: you can do that in a novel?? It instantly became my go-to recommendation for anyone that wanted an all-consuming, absolutely riotous read, and I’ve been greedy and needy about getting my hands on all of his subsequent books. Lone Women promises to hit all of my sweet spots: set in the American West, featuring a no-nonsense woman carrying an incredibly heavy and incredibly mysterious trunk with her across the country that she refuses to open, with that eerie, unexpected horror that LaValle is so good at. I cannot wait. — Kelsey F.
The coming-of-age process is kind of inherently horrifying in its own way — becoming a person you don't know yet, living so much under the weight of others' expectations and your own. Chlorine, pitched in the vein of Han Kang's The Vegetarian and Melissa Broder's The Pisces, leans into that horror with the story of a young competitive swimmer determined to be the best at any cost. Ren Yu, a high schooler whose life revolves around swimming, grew up on stories of mermaids, sirens, and creatures of the deep. She longs to be in the water, beyond human concerns and pressures, and must decide how far she'll go to make that happen. This sounds creepy and fantastic. — Claire A.
Kelly Link is hands-down, no-questions-asked, one of my favorite working authors today. I remember when a friend gave me her collection, Magic for Beginners, my freshman year in college, like Link’s writing was a secret she only wanted to share with a select few. But I’m so lucky she shared with me, because her stories have become a constant for me. I’m obsessed with these stories: as twisted and weird and hilarious as I’ve come to expect from her, with characters that feel torn from our world and dropped into new realities where ghosts love the snow and death lingers along a white road that skirts at their peripheral vision. Mesmerizing. — Kelsey F.
“Sarah, are you going to blurb the ‘lit fic kpop book’ for the book preview?”
Abso-f***ing-lutely I am! Cue Hype Boy by New Jeans.
Perhaps never before has there been a book I had to read more. I love literary fiction. I love “sad girl” literary fiction especially. I love fan culture. I love kpop. I think I love this book. In Y/N our protagonist – a Korean American woman living in Berlin – sees Moon – the youngest in a world-dominating group – perform and quickly her life narrows to a pinpoint dedication to him. Then, disaster: Moon unexpectedly retires. Unmoored by his absence, her lack of self-identity, and her own constructed world, our protagonist buys a one-way ticket to Seoul. Esther Yi writes sentences the way I like to read sentences: clipped, pointed, acerbic, honest, and delightfully funny. Y/N captivated me. It’s an absurd and surreal exploration of the transcendent rise that comes with singular obsession and identity-through-devotion alongside the uneasy and uncomfortable fall that follows. — Sarah R.
Allegra Hyde, author of last year’s popular Eleutheria, takes climate change head-on in this new collection that Alexandra Kleeman calls “dazzling, inventive, and glinting with dark humor.” There are caravans and unicorns and AIs and spaceships (and an impatient bookseller (me) who can’t wait to start reading). — Kelsey F.
In a small fishing village in 20th-century Singapore, a young boy manifests the unique magical ability to locate movable, bountiful, islands. But, the world is changing. The Japanese army invades, resistance and grief spread, and the legacy of colonialism lingers. A tale described by Jessamine Chan as "alive to the beauty and mystery of the natural world as well as the human heart," The Great Reclamation is poised to confront the sweep of history, our relationship with the natural world, and the quiet, personal worlds of love and free will. — Sarah R.

Adult Toy Stores Buying GuideDoes the thought of finding a great Adult Toy Stores stress you out? Has your mind been juggling between choices when it comes to buying Adult Toy Stores in general, specifically regarding which model to choose?If that’s the case, know that you’re not alone. Many people find it tough to buy the perfect Adult Toy Stores for themselves. We understand the stress associated with the buying process!Since you’re here, you are obviously curious about Adult Toy Stores Reviews. You’ve been bombarded with information, so you need to find a reputable source with credible options before you make any decisions on which product would be best for your needs.There are many sources that’ll provide you with that information- buying guides or ratings websites, word-of-mouth testimonials from friends or family members, online forums where users share their personal experiences, product reviews specifically found all over the internet and YouTube channels. Only thorough research will ensure that you get the right product.But that’s not always easy, right? That's why we've taken time to compile a list of the best Adult Toy Stores in today's market, on your behalf, so that there will be no more worries for you.How did we come up with the list, you ask? How did we create this buying guide?
- First, our algorithms collected as much information available about these products from trusted sources.
- We employed both Artificial Intelligence and large data volume to validate all collected information.
- Then our AI ranked them on their quality-to-price ratio using industry-standard criteria that let us pick the best Adult Toy Stores currently on the market!
- Brand Value: What happens when you go for a not-so-reputable brand just because the price seems cheap? Well, the chance of getting a short-lasting product goes higher. That’s because the renowned brands have a reputation to maintain, others don’t.
- Features: You don’t need heaps of features, but useful ones. We look at the features that matter and choose the top Adult Toy Stores based on that.
- Specifications: Numbers always help you measure the quality of a product in a quantitative way. We try to find products of higher specifications, but with the right balance.
- Customer Ratings: The hundreds of customers using the Adult Toy Stores before you won’t say wrong, would they? Better ratings mean better service experienced by a good number of people.
- Customer Reviews: Like ratings, customer reviews give you actual and trustworthy information, coming from real-world consumers about the Adult Toy Stores they used.
- Seller Rank: Now, this is interesting! You don’t just need a good Adult Toy Stores, you need a product that is trendy and growing in sales. It serves two objectives. Firstly, the growing number of users indicates the product is good. Secondly, the manufacturers will hopefully provide better quality and after-sales service because of that growing number.
- Value For The Money: They say you get what you pay for. Cheap isn’t always good. But that doesn’t mean splashing tons of money on a flashy but underserving product is good either. We try to measure how much value for the money you can get from your Adult Toy Stores before putting them on the list.
- Durability: Durability and reliability go hand to hand. A robust and durable Adult Toy Stores will serve you for months and years to come.
- Availability: Products come and go, new products take the place of the old ones. Probably some new features were added, some necessary modifications were done. What’s the point of using a supposedly good Adult Toy Stores if that’s no longer continued by the manufacturer? We try to feature products that are up-to-date and sold by at least one reliable seller, if not several.
- Negative Ratings: Yes, we take that into consideration too! When we pick the top rated Adult Toy Stores on the market, the products that got mostly negative ratings get filtered and discarded.

- “General Pepper's Flight Log, pg 100
Area 6 is the Cornerian Defence Force's military designation for the most heavily defended sector of space around the planet Venom. We believe it is actually the most effective point to strike at Andross's palace, which would explain the heavy defences. Our forces simply do not have the strength to punch through these defences, but a small, quick team like yours might have a chance. If you can make it through the defensive cordon here, you'll have a straight attack run on Andross himself!”
Area 6, also known as the Venom Air Defense Zone, is an area of space in the Lylat System, in orbit above the planet Venom. It is the location of a major conflict during the Lylat Wars.
- “Astronomic Data
This area of space has no unusual features, but it is the most convenient atmospheric re-entry point from which to strike at Andross's home base. The legendary battle station Death Ball, which is equipped with a matter-displacement device, is said to control this area of space.”
Area 6 was the location of the most convenient atmospheric re-entry point in striking distance of Andross's home base. For this reason Area 6 was the most heavily defended region of space in orbit of Venom. The area was protected by thirty-one Umbra-class Defense Stations, seven Harlock-class Frigates, twelve Zeram-class Cruisers, minefields, swarms of fighters, five Ninjin Missiles, and the Gorgon battle station. The units were distributed into three defensive lines to prevent the infiltration of Venom airspace.
Having already dramatically impacted the Venomian effort to suppress the Cornerian rebellion, the Star Fox Team was poised outside the Area 6 Defense Station, a Venomian armada and defensive array guarding a strategic re-entry corridor. In the closing moments of the Lylat Wars, the Star Fox team made a brazen attempt to force their way through Area 6, with the intent of conducting a raid on Andross's key facility. With support from the Great Fox, the Arwings were able to penetrate the Venomian defensive lines and fend off the larger, more heavily armored, enemy spacecraft. In a last bid to destroy the Star Fox team, the Venomians deployed the Gorgon. During the confrontation which followed, Peppy Hare intuited a means of destroying the station which he guided Fox McCloud to disable the shield protecting the station's core and was subsequently able to destroy the station using the Arwing's lasers. After sustaining heavy damage, the station began shedding debris, and was destroyed in a spectacular explosion. Having infiltrated Venom's defensive perimeter, the Star Fox team began their descent to the Planet's surface.

Breaking Down Bridgeport at the Halfway Mark
By John Kaywood / SoundTigers.com contributorJan 17, 2019
There are a ton of layers as to why the Bridgeport Islanders had a stellar first half to their 2018-19 season. They continue to sit in playoff position and are poised for a second-half push toward the 2019 Calder Cup Playoffs.
How did they get here? This (in award show format) will try and unpack it all and breakdown their terrific first half.
DISCLAIMER: These awards are only chosen from the field of players who are on the active roster as of Jan. 17, 2019. So no Devon Toews or Michael Dal Colle.
MOST IMPROVED (From Last Season): Mitch Vande Sompel
Probably one of the easiest awards to give out, Mitch Vande Sompel has taken that next step, amassing 17 points halfway through the season (5g, 12a). On pace to set career highs in both categories, along with being a reliable source on the PK and PP, Mitch play has transformed on both ends of the ice.
UNSUNG HERO: Steve Bernier
Steve Bernier can give you everything you need. A greasy goal, highlight goal, beautiful assist, fight, block, defensive stand, whatever you need, Bernier can provide it. That's what an unsung hero is right? A person that does great deeds but doesn't receive any or very little of the credit. Then yup, Steve Bernier is the most deserving of this award.
MVV (Most Valuable Veteran): Chris Bourque
You could go in a few different directions here on this one. Steve Bernier and Mike Sislo have both had solid first halves as well. However, Chris Bourque edges the other six veterans on the team due to his impact on the power play. Last season without Chris Bourque, the Sound Tigers finished the season with a 17.4% on the man advantage. This season with Chris, the Sound Tigers are hovering just above 19% on the PP. 1.6% may not seem like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things it really can be the difference between a couple of wins and a couple of losses. In addition, Chris is third among active Sound Tigers in points this season (7g, 16a).
BIGGEST SURPRISE: Otto Koivula
Who could have predicted this surge by Otto Koivula in August? This kid can't stop scoring and producing offense. Koivula's speed, skating, and puck handling seem to be getting better by the game if not the period. The kids got the goods, since his move to center, his confidence and PPG average and potential has soared. Without Dal Colle and Toews for the foreseeable future, get used to seeing Koivula's name A LOT.
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (So Far): Kieffer Bellows
Bellows is truthfully everything as advertised when seeing him in the world juniors last year and everything we heard from camp. He can shoot the lights out of the building, and he's been a formidable force on the power play so far this season. Speed skating needs improvement but then again who doesn't. Overall, Bellows will have to hope for a Koivula cool down or him to heat himself to take the end of the year rookie award honors.
MR. RELIABLE: Travis St. Denis
St. Denis has easily been one of the most consistent Sound Tigers this season. When the best ability is availability, Travis has been there, playing in every so far this season. He hasn't lit the lamp as much as he has liked so far this season, but the tough-nosed, skilled and speedy second-year forward is coming on at the right time for a big second half.

Sri Lanka’s Health Minister Dr. Rajitha Senaratne yesterday accused some locally-based tobacco companies of being involved in a ‘racket to mislead the public on the use of cigarettes in the country,’ according to a story in The Colombo Gazette.
Senaratne said that some companies were importing illicit cigarettes and distributing them in the market to give the impression that there was a high number of people smoking cigarettes in the country.
He said that Sri Lanka had implemented nine out of the 10 recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) on limiting the use of cigarette use in the country.
The Minister said also that taxes on cigarettes had been increased to discourage their use.
It wasn’t clear from the story whether the minister believed that tobacco companies were using the illegal trade to promote, say, the normalization of smoking within society; or whether such promotion was a side-line of the money-making scheme that is the illegal trade.


The new AWS41-304 wall mounting bracket is a typical example of Eldon's continuous efforts to develop money saving solutions for its customers.
• Same material as the enclosures and terminal boxes
• High resistance to rust
• Long life-cycle
• Low maintenance costs
Made from stainless steel 304 and designed to ensure the safest possible wall fixing, the new AWS41-304 bracket is suitable for mounting all Eldon wall mounted enclosures and terminal boxes.
This new solution will reduce costs for customers since the wall mounted enclosures and terminal boxes are also manufactured in stainless steel 304. Previously, when customers had to install these items, they had to use the wall mount brackets chrome plated steel or stainless steel 316, depending on the environment in which they were used .

The Chancellor delivered the Budget on 21 March 2012, which confirmed changes to the pensions tax regime and state pension reform.
A transfer to an overseas pension scheme must meet certain conditions otherwise HMRC will treat the transfer as an unauthorised payment with resulting tax charges on both the transferring scheme and the member. These conditions will be amended from 6 April 2012 as HMRC looks to tighten up on the use of overseas schemes for tax avoidance purposes.
HMRC has issued an announcement to clarify its interpretation of the tax rules for benefit accrual for those individuals with fixed protection in relation to lump sum death benefits and benefit accrual.
The earnings thresholds for automatic enrolment have been confirmed for 2012/13. In addition, a consultation has been published on the proposed dates for when small and medium employers will have to comply with their automatic enrolment duties as well as a proposal to extend the first transitional period for phasing in contributions
The Government has recently published a response to the consultation on changes to contracting-out legislation which confirms that trustees are able to amend the scheme rules by resolution to remove provisions relating to protected rights. An increase to the fixed rate revaluation percentage for GMPs has also been confirmed.
HMRC has issued the sixth and final issue of its Countdown Bulletin, covering the abolition of contracting-out on a defined contribution basis. †The edition includes issues surrounding Contracted-Out Mixed Benefit schemes, HMRCís position on payment and recovery of Minimum Contributions / Age Related Rebates, and the interaction of other legislation with contracted-out rights.
HMRC has published its Newsletter 52 focussing on Fixed Protection and the effect of Pension Increase Exchange exercises on Benefit Crystallisation Event (BCE) 3. The newsletter also contains information about appealing against a penalty for late/non-submission of the Registered Pension Scheme Return and SA970, and updates on auto enrolment and the RAS project.

KARACHI: Pakistan reported its first Omicron case here on Wednesday. The case was detected in a 65-year-old woman who does not have a travel history and is now in isolation at her home.
The case was confirmed by the Media Coordinator of the Sindh Health Department Mehar Khursheed. According to her, the infected woman was provided treatment at Aga Khan Hospital and was later put in isolation in her house. The woman was unvaccinated.
According to the Karachi East District Health Office, the rapid response team has been alerted and has taken all the necessary actions following the commands of the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) regarding vaccination, quarantine and prevention measures. The team is in contact with the patient’s family and tracing contact history of the woman.
The instruction to take necessary actions regarding micro-level lockdown is forwarded to the district deputy commissioner.
Earlier, Federal Planning Minister Asad Umar had said that Omicron was quickly spreading all over the world and it was a matter of time before it reached Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Emergencies Director World Health Organisation (WHO) Michael Ryan has said that though the Omicron variant has a high transmission rate than the Delta variant, the current vaccination available was highly effective against the new variant.
Top US scientists and WHO on Tuesday said that Omicron could not fully evade the protection provided by the vaccinations.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization, inspired by the teachings of this 17th Century saint, and founded circa 1840. Its ongoing Mission is: To live the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor—with love, respect, justice and joy. The emphasis has always been on personal contact with those who need help.
Holy Rosary’s volunteers continue this 175-year tradition by living the values of the Society. Through visits to our clients in their homes, we listen to their stories, attempt to understand their situations, and strive to assist them wherever possible. To that end, we provide food vouchers, often supplemented by groceries donated by our parishioners, but also, on occasion, help with such things as rent or utility payments. In addition, we make our clients aware of other community-support agencies, and when possible help them develop a path to a better way of living.
With the generous financial support of our parish, our Ministry serves approximately 90 families.
There are further initiatives included in our care:
• For our back-to-school program, we supply backpacks filled with school supplies to those children who, otherwise, could not afford them.
• We make families aware of the Canada Learning Bond (RESP) Programme, a Federal Government initiative to provide children from low-income families with an opportunity to save for post-secondary education. This is a major focus of ours, as we strongly believe that through better education, poverty can be alleviated.
• We assist secondary school graduates who require financial help for their continuing education to apply for grants from the Ozanam Education Fund (a program initiated through the St. Vincent de Paul Ontario Regional Council).
• We partner with The Salvation Army in helping our clients apply for Christmas hampers and gifts for children under 15 years old. For older children we provide gift certificates so they, too, can enjoy a Christmas present.
An exciting new initiative that was introduced in 2014:
A young Vincentian youth group was formed to provide an opportunity for young people to develop their own spirituality, friendship and service. They meet once a month and have already completed a fund-raising activity for poor families in a Third World country. Their enthusiasm is awesome and inspiring—it is such a joy to see them generate ideas to provide service to the parish and to the needy in our community, as well as to enhance their own spirituality.
The Holy Rosary St. Vincent de Paul Society meets monthly on a Tuesday evening at the church. New members are welcomed.
Individuals or families seeking assistance can call 905-631-6111.

Get the shovels ready — the New York area might be in for a blockbuster blizzard at the start of the weekend.
A big storm looks to be headed our way from the Rockies, and could dump lots of snow in our area tomorrow night and Saturday morning, say AccuWeather meteorologists.
New York City, Long Island, southern and central New Jersey and points south face a “potentially paralyzing” snowfall, the forecasters say.
New Jersey, upstate and Connecticut won’t have it as bad, but still face a “disruptive” storm.
“Plans will be foiled, and flights will be canceled,” AccuWeather says.
The snowfall is expected to end around noon Saturday. Temperatures in the 20s will keep it on the ground well into next week.
AccuWeather’s computer modeling suggests more snow could arrive in our area on Monday or Tuesday.

BELPHEGOR: Entire New Album Streaming Now!
Posted: August 07, 2014
Diabolical death / black metal giants, BELPHEGOR, have made their entire new album Conjuring The Dead available for streaming at http://youtu.be/TW0puOh1W0s. Conjuring the Dead is the tenth studio album from one of metal’s most bizarre and authentic bands; BELPHEGOR. Conjuring the Dead was unleashed on August 5th (North America), and will be out on August 8th (EU) and August 11th (UK/FR) via Nuclear Blast. The minions of death can now pre-order the album in several formats from the Nuclear Blast web shop at http://smarturl.it/BELPH-CTD-NB. Conjuring the Dead was recorded at Mana Studios in Florida under the direction of Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, GOATWHORE, HATE ETERNAL). The artwork was created by Greek artist, Seth Siro Anton who also created the cover of Pestapokalypse VI in 2006. Three and a half years have passed since the highly praised album Blood Magick Necromance was released. BELPHEGOR are back to conquer; possessed, on fire and stronger than ever! All this after Helmuth’s near death experience, which caused the band to cancel several tours in 2011/2012. Conjuring the Dead track list: 01. Gasmask Terror 02. Conjuring the Dead 03. In Death 04. Rex Tremendae Majestatis 05. Black Winged Torment 06. The Eyes 07. Legions of Destruction 08. Flesh, Bones and Blood 09. Lucifer, Take Her! 10. Pactum In Aeternum BELPHEGOR will make their long overdue return to our North American shores with a headlining tour this Fall!

An open house
"It's the beating heart of this house", says Irish designer Sonya Lennon about her PURE kitchen - refurbished in 20XX, integrated into her classic terraced house in Dublin that has a 120-year history. Considering a new kitchen was a challenge, as was so much about the necessary renovation. Lennon has lived in the house for over 20 years, raising her twins here. "I guess we were all kind of smaller back then", Lennon says with a laugh, emphasising that the requirements have changed now that four adults share the house.
"Last time we ate in the dining room, it felt odd, so secluded." Things are different today - the goal was to design a kitchen that conveys a sense of openness and spaciousness, blends unobtrusively into the new overall design and yet is still a statement. Clarity, strength, intuition: attributes that also play a special role in Lennon's career as an entrepreneur.
Superior functionality was also key to the design process: "Things shape us too, you know," says Lennon, who found a new appreciation for cooking thanks to her SieMatic. "I want to cook more and better." A "cooking household", she says, with cuisine and dining forming a kind of natural unity that is reflected in the living space.
Despite the highest demands for a coherent whole, starting with the mighty black-grey wooden façade, which is subtly reflected in the materiality and colourfulness of the SieMatic, to the cubic forms in combination with organic, warm elements - every single planning appointment, sometimes on site, sometimes in the studio, has something joyful for Lennon and conveys security. Crazy about details and with a great sense for the tactile, the team from Arena kitchens + interiors plan this project, which is as delicate as it is monolithic, as purist as it is bold.
SieMatic URBAN - creates harmony from a multitude of unconventional elements. Because where diverse styles and contrasts dominate, precision craftsmanship becomes visible, materials and colours take on a new value. URBAN speaks a language beyond the unambiguous and offers the individual a stage on which he or she can fully express themselves.
Sonya Lennon is an Irish designer, social entrepreneur and author. As an internationally sought-after speaker, she fights for equality, diversity and inclusion.
Start planning your own kitchen
We have created an interactive planning tool containing all the most important questions to help you prepare for your individual kitchen consultation. Start planning now and arrange an appointment with your SieMatic kitchen studio.

Mr Brown, who has had record low approval ratings in some polls over recent months, said as leader he expected to be in "the firing line" as the economy slowed and people "started" by blaming the government.
But, he added, people were then seeing the reasons for the slowdown were global ones such as oil trebling and the US credit crunch.
The prime minister is keen to get the Millennium Development Goals back on track.
The goals, agreed by 189 heads of state in September 2000, represent a global commitment by all of the nations who signed to reduce poverty and improve lives.
There are 18 targets which are supposed to be met by 2015.
These include ensuring children are educated to primary schooling level and halving the numbers of people who contract malaria and HIV.
Mr Brown, along with Microsoft boss Bill Gates, used the summit to announce a new $3bn drive to eradicate deaths from malaria in the developing world by the 2015 deadline.
The funds, which will come from a variety of public and private sector bodies, will be used to try to develop a vaccine and pay for the distribution of bed nets and sprays.
Sarah Brown met Jordan's Queen Rania and Rupert Murdoch's wife Wendi
The drive is expected to save the lives of one million people who die from the disease every year.
The UK's support for research into malaria treatments and vaccines is to reach at least £5m a year by 2010. It has also pledged to provide up to £40m towards improving the availability of anti-malarial drugs.
The summit will also see further commitments made on the issue of education and healthcare. They include an additional $2.9bn - which includes a £50m contribution from Britain - to help 10 million children go to school.
Sarah Brown, also at the summit, co-hosted a dinner on Wednesday for influential women - including many first ladies, US vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York - to raise awareness of the need to improve childbirth support in the third world.
Other celebrities expected to be at the summit include Elle Macpherson, Bono and Bob Geldof.
Mr Brown will also be calling on major donors to make up a $700m funding gap to tackle food shortages, particularly in the Horn of Africa.

Cecelia Hodges Coloring Pages, 2020-09-22 05:40:09. As children grow older they will start opening up and talking more as you color with them. Parents who just hand out coloring pages for kids and go off to do other things are missing a valuable bonding opportunity. Most children will start to talk more openly once they are distracted with something to color. Coloring is a great time to ask your children about their day or to bring up topics which may be bothering them but they are hesitant to talk about at other times.
Ryann Hill Coloring Pages, 2020-09-22 05:39:11. Surely, early education is vital, but in different situations toddlers just don’t like studies because it can be monotonous.

The kids in your class are probably used to coloring animals but they might not be used to coloring the environments in which animals live. If you want to teach the kids something about animal habitats this is a great exercise. Split the class up into groups and have each group color a large panorama of a landscape. Place different landscapes and habitats in different parts of the room. Provide pictures to the students so that they have a general idea of the appropriate colors. Then cut out the animals the children have been drawing and attach them to the habitats. The finished product is an attractive image of a wildlife scene that can teach the children a great deal about their favorite animals. It will also help to teach them the importance of preserving habitat.

Well, if the coloring pages and books that Old People–those of us past the age of twenty-five–used back in the days before they invented weather and when we all knew what a telephone cord was are fading out of mind, they are being reborn on the Internet. Children’s coloring pages are all over the place online. A whole new dimension of coloring and drawing has been opened up with the advent of the Internet.

David Ashdown's Wimbledon Picture Diary
Each day of the Wimbledon championship The Independent's award winning photographer David Ashdown has been selecting his favourite images and explaining the story behind the lens. Here's the diary in full.
Monday 06 July 2009
It was a classic Men's final, maybe even the best ever. Very different from the Ladies final the day before!
I was in the pit on the east side of Centre Court for the first set, a good place to get a variety of shots as you can see both ends of the court.
But for the rest of the match I was on the little platform looking down the court. I like that position because in a final the score board can come into play, and that is what happened this time.
Click the image above to find more images and diary entries from David Ashdown.
Just after Federer had won, he shook hands with Roddick and the score board still had his advantage on it, but when he walked back on to the court it had changed to 14-16 - the final score.
I think most photographers were shooting on long lens' - 400mm plus. I had taken a picture of match point with my 500mm which worked very well. He jumped into the air facing me, so I had a nice winning moment picture.
Because of the score, the match became historic, so it was very important to get a picture with the score board and some of the court. It is important to try and see the bigger picture (no pun intended) of the event rather that trying to get yet another picture of the winner.
This image of Federer with his arms up and Roddick about to sit down with the final score in the background sums the whole match up.
It was taken on a Nikon D3 camera with a 70-200mm F2.8 zoom lens 1/500 second at F5.6.

Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, PA has a fantastic seating arrangement built around the quarter-mile straight track, so everyone can see the dragsters fly down the strip at over 300 miles per hour. From Top Fuel Dragsters to street bike racing, jet-powered cars to Funny Cars, and grudge races to alcohol-fueled racing, there really is something for everyone at the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Nationals.
The track has been open since 1937 when it was known as Brecknock Speedway, where they had an oval dirt track for sprint cars and motorcycles. The NHRA has been held here at the Maple Grove Raceway since 1964. The races have grown in popularity so much that they have had to expand several times and added on two camping areas for RVers.
Many people come for the roar of the motors and cheers of the crowds with so much excitement that it seems to land right in your lap. Racing here has gone from a small dirt track with a thousand or so fans to a multi-track megaplex with over 20,000 fans. You just cannot beat the camaraderie and energy that affects everyone at the track. From Thursday to Sunday, you may feel like you are at a huge celebration, and you’ll be so ready to come back again next year.
From general admission walk-in seating to premium trackside seating where you can be just 1000 feet from the track. They even offer catered gourmet meals and free refreshments without even leaving your seat. The ticket prices for the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Nationals have ranged from $50 to $1,200 in the past. Tickets are also pit passes.
You can find Maple Grove Raceway in the southwest corner of Pennsylvania, just 10 miles from Reading to the north, 56 miles from Philadelphia to the southeast, and less than 30 miles from Lancaster to the southwest.
Tolls are to be expected throughout Pennsylvania's highways. The track is easy to get to right in between I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike), I-176, US-222, and PA-568. Take your time and enjoy the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains as you head to the race, and don’t forget your camera.
Parking an RV at any type of event can be daunting sometimes. However, racetracks are typically prepared for this, and you’ll find multiple places to park your rig at the raceway. The track also offers premium parking for a small fee, which guarantees you a premium parking spot in the pit area, but this is only for cars. If you camp at the track, you won’t have to worry about parking your camper.
Mohnton, PA is a great place for inexpensive and reliable public transportation. Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority (BARTA) can take you anywhere in the Berks County area, but it stops just short of the track, so you will either have to walk the last bit or call a taxi or rideshare service.
Maple Grove Raceway provides two different areas for RV camping. Neither of them has hookups, but they do have plenty of fun and great views of the track. Each paid camping ticket usually includes a reserved spot from Thursday to Sunday evening and two general admission tickets and armbands. Parkside RV Court is also available, which is across from Gate Four. These spots can accommodate rigs up to 50 feet in length.
If your rig is too big for the track campgrounds, there are several within walking distance to Maple Grove. Just across the street, you can find one that has plenty of spots with some amenities like restrooms, water, and pull-throughs. Several other places nearby offer full hookups, playgrounds for the kids, and shower houses. If you like roughing it, there are others where you can enjoy primitive settings.
For those with mobility challenges, Maple Grove Raceway provides a shuttle service for free. They also rent scooters if needed. Strollers and wheelchairs are welcome. Bring some comfortable shoes as feet are a primary mode of transportation.
Jeans and t-shirts with a favorite driver’s name are what you will mostly see around the track. It will be warm but not hot, so depending on your preference, you may want to wear shorts while others may be wearing jackets. Those who live in warm climates tend to feel cold in eastern states like Pennsylvania, so bring a variety of clothing to add to your comfort.
You can bring a cooler big enough for a non-alcoholic six-pack. All alcohol must be purchased inside the gates. You are also welcome to bring a small backpack that meets track regulations to carry miscellaneous items like a camera, phone, cosmetics, etc. No glass bottles, fireworks, drones, or anything else that is on the no-no list, which you can find online.
While fans often attend Mopar Express Lane NHRA Nationals for the sound of the engines, you may still want to pack some earplugs. Ear protection for kids is often easier to manage with over-the-ear styles. It will probably be sunny and warm while you are at the track so bring some sunscreen and sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes. Wear a hat with your favorite driver or merchandiser to protect your face. Didn’t bring one? You’ll find plenty of vendors with hats of all kinds.
If you are camping at Maple Grove Raceway, you will need to bring a camp stove or BBQ grill if you want to cook outside. The park does not provide utility hookups, a grill, or tables. If you are staying somewhere else, make sure you check with the campground for more details. Luckily, there are plenty of stores in Reading to pick up those forgotten items.
If you like pub food, you’re in luck because Reading has several of them just a short drive away where you can get seafood, steaks, and burgers. You’ll also find some downhome family restaurants, Asian cuisine, pizza places, and Mexican food. Or you can just hit the drive-thru at one of the fast-food places in town if you’re in a hurry to get back to the track.
This track is packed with vendors who have some delicious food and drinks. Nitro Grill, Johnny’s Pizza, Bricken’s Famous French Fries, J.P.s Concessions, which sells ice cream and funnel cake, and two different hot pretzel vendors have offered fans a treat at the track in recent years. You can also find many different merchandise vendors showing off their wares, as well.
Professional security is provided at the raceway to make sure everyone stays safe while having fun. Bags and coolers are searched, and nobody is allowed to have a weapon, drugs, or fireworks, so leave them at home. Fighting will not be tolerated, and the park reserves the right to remove anyone taking from the safety and enjoyment of others.
Travelers often love the weather in Pennsylvania in September. It’s not too hot and not too cold, just like Baby Bear said. Daytime temps range from 73 to 86 degrees while the lows range from 53 to 56 degrees. Resting about two hours for the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, September rains are frequent in Eastern Pennsylvania.
If you need to make a trip to a medical facility while you are at Maple Grove Raceway, there are several within a 20-minute drive. The closest is just 10 miles away on 5th Avenue off of US-222. Check in with the first aid crew on site for emergencies, or you can contact the track office or another member of the staff.
