It has been a year and a day since Ocracoke was hi It has been a year and a day since Ocracoke was hit and devastated by Hurricane Dorian. I struggled all day yesterday thinking how to mark the day in social media. Early this morning I decided I just wanted to thank visitors for all you did for us..my plan was to take pictures of different folks coming in the shop today. Instead Plan B popped up. Rebekah came in right at opening with these beautiful flowers for me.She and her sister, Grace,come to Books to be Red every time they are on the island and always leave with books. I decided right then that this is the picture I would use and say thank you to all of you that sent notes, words of encouragement, chocolate, wine, damp rid, tote boxes, money, and hugs. Y'all got us through this storm. We could not have done it without you all and we are so happy to be open. Thanks for believing in us and we hope to see you all on the island. #bookstobered #ocracoke #visitocracokenc #flowers #hurricanedorian #indiebookstore #independentbookstore

Fascinating, foodilious figs found on the island. Fascinating, foodilious figs found on the island. We have brown turkey figs, lemon figs, pound figs, and sugar figs. Rumor has it there is even a Kadota fig tree hiding in the island. Figs, figs, figs. Now before coming to Ocracoke I think the only fig I had eaten was a fig Newton and I did love those. I found this cookbook a couple of years ago and it had so many wonderful recipes to enjoy using a variety of figs. There are recipes, horticultural advice, preservation instructions, and fun fig facts. Stop in and see a copy at Books to be Red. #bookstobered #ocracoke #visitocracokenc #figs #cookbook #ocracokefigfestival #sherrilee #underthefigleaf #independentbookstore #indiebookstore
Anyone know what shelves that look like this means Anyone know what shelves that look like this means for my shop? We will hope that we are working hard in an overabundance of caution for what Hurricane Isaias will bring. Hoping it turns in to a glorified mullet blow. #bookstobered #hurricaneisaias #staythehellaway #indiebookstore #ocracoke #visitocracokenc #cantvisitocracokenc
Happy to have Natasha Trethewey's new memoir, Memo Happy to have Natasha Trethewey's new memoir, Memorial Drive in stock. Ms. Trethewey is a former Poet Laureate of the United States under President Obama. Add to that that is is a Pulitzer Prize winner for her poetry collection Native Guard and you know you will have a worthy read. Better than all of those prestigious awards is the fact that she is related to a wonderful young man that lives here in Ocracoke. From the cover of the book, "A chillingly personal and exquisitely wrought memoir of a daughter reckoning with the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the moving, intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of tragedy." #bookstobered #natashatrethewey #memorialdrive #ocracoke #visitocracokenc #indiebookstore #independentbookstore
