We are unimaginably heartbroken by the unexpected passing of our beloved friend, Jason "Shades" Schusterbauer who died in a car accident on September 22nd. To say that he was an employee of BookPeople, a legendary bookseller, and our one-man master of bargain, is true but not even close to describing his place in our store. For many of us, he was the first face we saw when walking through the doors in the morning, and if you have ever shopped with us on weekday mornings, youâve been lucky enough to receive his friendly greeting from the information desk, or âgrinfoâ as we call it, after Shadesâ insistence that âthese kids just donât know how to greet people anymore.ââ
Our community knows him not only through the incredible work heâs done building the most stellar bargain section of all time, but also as a frequent participant in our goofiest (and informational!) socials. For just the smallest glimpse into the abundant joy that Shades brought to us on a daily basis, see our pinned posts.â
Shades had impeccable taste, for both himself and our customers, and passionately loved to share books with people. He radiated kindness and integrity. He made silly overhead pages over the loudspeakers, sold us girl scout cookies, enjoyed live music and traveling, and made us laugh so very much. He is forever in our hearts and we are going to deeply miss him. â¤ď¸

TIME TRAVEL FOR LOVE? ABSOLUTELY. CAMPING? ABSOLUTELY NOT. đâłđ
Bestselling author Tessa Bailey / @tessabaileyisanauthor has been dreaming of writing a time-travel romance for YEARS, inspired by films like Somewhere in Time and Safety Not Guaranteed.
And if she could travel anywhere in time? WOODSTOCK, BABY! âď¸đ¸
Well... provided she has plenty of food, water, Neosporin, and possibly a nearby hotel. đ
Because after one memorable night camping at @Bonnaroo with her husband, Tessa discovered that roughing it in the great outdoors might not be her love language.
From falling in love across time periods to the inspiration behind her book Broken Rival, Tessa has SO many stories to share!
đĽ Watch our full interview with Tessa Bailey on YouTube!
Where would YOU go if you could travel through time? đ
