Magic was in the air at Third Place Books' “Double 20” celebration

Sunday, September 9, 2018

New Hogwarts students line up to be sorted
into their House

There was magic in the air at Third Place Books “Double 20” celebration on Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park's Town Center.

The air was electric. The vast room crowded with a mix of kids and adults. I dressed some in Harry Potter robes, scarfs, glasses, and more than one attendee wore their very own sorting hat.

The occasion? It was a double celebration of the 20th year anniversary of the publication of the first book about everyone’s favorite British boy wizard, Harry Potter, as well as for the 20th anniversary of the opening of Third Place Books.

"Professor" Nicki Marion read to an absorbed audience
Bookseller Nicki Marion said, “Twenty seems like a nice round number to celebrate and it’s the also the 20th anniversary of the opening of Third Place Books.”

Marion also doubled as Professor Nicki and read from Potter author, J.K. Rowling’s book, “Tales of Beedle the Bard” in the Kid’s section of the store to the rapt attention of her audience.

Other bookstore employees did double-duty at the event. Bookseller Lish McBride, an author of several novels in her own right (“Necromancing”, ‘Hold Me Closer, Necromancer”, “Firebug” and her latest “Pyromantic”) sorted new Hogwarts students into their proper ‘house’ or "dormitory" as we say stateside, using the magic of the ‘Sorting Hat’.

Michelle Jones and Kai. Michelle could not
resist being "sorted" herself
Michelle Jones of Seattle brought her son Kai, 8, to the event, but couldn’t resist getting ‘sorted’ herself.

“The hat said I was a Slytherin. You can’t argue with the hat, but I feel like I’m a Gryffindor myself.”

Owen Watson of LFP is a Gryffindor
However, Owen Watson, 11, from Lake Forest Park, was delighted with what the Sorting Hat decided about him. “I’m a Gryffindor!”

Not everyone was there for Harry. Ruth Hayes-Short, former principal of Brookside Elementary (2001-2006), brought her 3-year old granddaughter, Liv, and read from a book that was more age-appropriate.

“I think Harry Potter is wonderful for older kids. My son, 30 now, loved the books.” She also raved about Third Place Books. “I love this place. It’s my favorite bookstore—for so many reasons!”

Author Lynn Brunelle (“Turn this Book into a Beehive”, “Pop Bottle Science”, “Big Science for Little People”, and more) came all the way from Bainbridge Island for the event to teach a potions class.

Potions master Lynn Brunelle has been
concocting potions for hundreds of years
 
Known for the evening as Professor Brunelle, she jokingly claimed to be the youngest potion teacher at Hogwartever, where she’s been concocting things for hundreds of years.

She mesmerized the crowd with her color changing liquids, lava lamp lessons, and tooth paste concoction for Fluffy, Hagrid’s gargantuan and very slobbering dog.

“We are so lucky to have had Third Place Books in our area for the past 20 years,” said one attendee."


Ruth Hayes-Short reads to her
granddaughter Liv
“I remember when the upper level of the shopping mall was a bunch of different stores that used to change ownership frequently. Third Place Books has been that constant attraction for so many years, now.

"Whether it’s to hear authors read or to come to a great book-related event like Harry’s 20th anniversary, Third Place Books and Third Place Commons adds to the vitality of Lake Forest Park and its neighbors.”

Third Place Books' Robert Sindelar takes reins of national bookseller organization

Friday, June 30, 2017

Robert Sindelar, Manager
Third Place Books
This June, Third Place Book’s Robert Sindelar became one of the youngest presidents in the last thirty years of the American Booksellers Association.

Founded in 1900, the American Booksellers Association, or ABA, is the nonprofit trade organization that works to help independently owned bookstores in the United States grow and succeed.

Headquartered in White Plains, New York, the group is governed by a board of eleven volunteer booksellers.

ABA provides education, information, business products, and services; creates relevant programs; and engages in public policy and industry advocacy.

The Association actively supports and defends free speech and the First Amendment rights of all Americans.

Sindelar, 46, was previously serving as the organization’s vice president. He is the managing partner of Third Place Books, a bookstore with three locations in the Seattle area, including Lake Forest Park.

Originally from Miami, he got his start in bookselling while in college, when he took a job at the iconic Books and Books in Coral Gables, Florida. He later moved to Seattle to pursue an acting and theater career, and began working at Elliott Bay Book Company.

He moved to Third Place Books when its owner, Ron Sher, purchased Elliott Bay in 1998 and offered him the position of manager (Sher no longer owns Elliott Bay which is now on Capitol Hill).

Sindelar assumes the presidency at ABA at a time when another Seattle-based company —Amazon—is expanding its presence in the world of brick-and-mortar bookstores.

“Independent bookselling is changing at a faster rate than I’ve ever seen,” says Sindelar. 
“Changes in threats from online competitors, in customer buying behavior, in relationships with our publishing partners, in minimum wage increases and escalating real estate costs.” 
But the industry’s core values remain consistent.

 “Twenty-five years ago booksellers were creating unique welcoming spaces in our communities, connecting authors and readers, curating distinguished reading selections for our customers, offering outstanding customer service and building community. That hasn’t changed.”
“This is definitely a moment where it’s more important than ever to remind ourselves who we are and why we are here, while constantly looking forward and anticipating the changes we may need to make to secure and ensure the longevity of independent bookselling. 
"To be in a position to continue to steer the ABA in the right direction is both humbling and invigorating.”

Tickets available for Fredrik Backman - June 12

Monday, May 29, 2017

Author Frederik Backman
In an event at Third Place Books on Monday, June 12, at 7pm, Seattle Times columnist Nicole Brodeur will talk with Fredrik Backman, best-selling author of A Man Called Ove.

Swedish author Backman is in town on a book tour to promote his new novel Beartown.

The event is ticketed. Each copy of Beartown purchased from Third Place Books will include two tickets. The tickets will have a time slot for the signing line - and are required for admission to the event. Seating is first come, first served.

Purchase at the store, online, or over the phone 206-366-3333.

Main stage, Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park, 17171 Bothell Way NE 98155.

About the book
A tiny community nestled deep in the forest, Beartown is slowly losing ground to the ever-encroaching trees. But down by the lake stands an old ice rink, built generations ago by the working men who founded this town. And in that ice rink is the reason people in Beartown believe tomorrow will be better than today. Their junior ice hockey team is about to compete in the national semi-finals, and they actually have a shot at winning.

All the hopes and dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys. Being responsible for the hopes of an entire town is a heavy burden, and the semi-final match is the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected.

Beartown explores the hopes that bring a small community together, the secrets that tear it apart, and the courage it takes for an individual to go against the grain. In this story of a small forest town, Fredrik Backman has found the entire world.
