Jessica Stockton Bagnulo and Rebecca Fitting, the co-owners behind Greenlight Bookstore, plan to launch a second location. The opening date will take place at some point within the next year.

According to Shelf Awareness, the original Brooklyn-based shop has been an establishment in the Fort Greene area since 2009. The new location will be set up in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens region.

Here’s more from DNAinfo: “Greenlight is no stranger to the neighborhood. The store has been active in the community in recent months, hosting pop-up book sales at local street fairs and, most recently, at a kids toy shop on Flatbush Avenue and Westbury Court. Plus, Fitting herself is a Prospect-Lefferts Gardens resident.” (via Ditmas Park Corner)

The lack of posting around here should not be construed as a lack of activity. This has turned out to be a week with high demands from other aspects of my bookish life: Emerging Leaders, McNally Jackson (we -- by which I mean me -- are on Facebook AND Twitter now), a new blogging project (info TK), and mostly, working on Greenlight Bookstore. I've tidied up that other blog of mine (and Rebecca's) to reflect the evolving reality of our project, and in hopes that we'll be seeing some more traffic soon. We've also got a real estate lead that involves so many unknowns I can't even explain it right now, but it's potentially really exciting. So I've been kinda distracted.

I do, however, have a pile of recently read graphic novels I want to write about, and not one but TWO thrilling not-yet-published books in my bag: the new Kate Christensen, Trouble (out in June) and the new Jonathan Lethem, Chronic City (out so long from now I don't even know the date -- the book is still in manuscript form). So as soon as I'm done frantically tearing through those two I'll be posting frenzied fangirl reports. I'm also meeting one of my contemporary author heroes Jim Lynch, author of The Highest Tide and Border Songs, tomorrow afternoon, so I hope to report on that as well.

So with renewed promises I beg your forgiveness, and hope you can be satisfied with more to come. Happy reading!
