Alas! My wishful thinking did not do the trick. Not for the first time; not for the last. The severe storm predictions remain. So...instead of your browsing the shelves of Arugula Books, you can curl up with a book while the wind and rain do their thing. Enjoy!
The weather forecast is often wrong. Under that premise, I prepare for tomorrow’s Flea and hope the showers come later than expected. Why? Because Arugula Books has had a bumper crop of new books to share with you, dear readers. Seasonal offerings like those related to baseball and gardening. Also cooking, essays, children's books, and… Continue reading Harvest your summer reading at the June 30 Providence Flea

You may have other strategies for late-winter gloom, when visions of spring hover just beyond your reach. While one needs no special month to read a book, February seems a time when you… Continue reading Find your armchair escape
Hanukah and Christmas are bookends to December this year—with the first Hanukah candle lighting on the eve of December 2.

Find… Continue reading Book browsing at the December 2 Providence Flea Holiday Market
It's October and still warm enough to sit outside with a good read. Yet cool enough to start scheming up hearty meals. You will find good reads and cook books at Arugula Books on October 7 at the Providence Flea. I am now reading an outstanding biography of Charles Dickens by Claire Tomalin. A page… Continue reading Autumn book browsing
As Labor Day is but one week away, Arugula Books will feature volumes that cover the many facets of this time of year, including cookouts, late-summer gardening, long-weekend leisure, and pending school days.
