About this location:
Welcome to Borders Fremont, at the Hub in the heart of downtown Fremont. We’ve got a diverse group of enthusiastic booksellers whom also have a great passion and affinity for books, music and movies. My current can’t get enough of music is Nina Simone Remixed and Reimagined – her sultry, emotional voice gains new insight while set to jazzy beats and if you like this, you’ll have to get the equally mesmerizing Billie Holiday Remixed and Reimagined. Come visit our music and movie selection and be sure to talk to Jeff D or Jeff S – both have a depth of knowledge in classic and modern music and a combined 15 years of work with Borders! You could always get a great movie recommendation from our staff. Currently there are a few who can’t get enough of Juno and we like the intensity of There will be Blood. Our staff of booksellers have rich, personal lives; some of us are students, some are artists, some are musicians, some are writers – so if you want a book recommendation, we’ve got you covered! Sarah’s latest staff pick is Lifelines by CJ Lyons; she says “this book has all the action of Grey’s Anatomy! I can’t wait for book 2.” My current staff pick is Dark at the Roots by Sarah Thyre, a brilliant new voice, like a female David Sedaris, a smart, laugh out loud, endearing new book. Don’t miss! And be sure to stop by our cafe, Seattle’s Best, especially on Bean Friday – buy a bag of coffee (we can grind ’em or not) and you get a free medium beverage of your choice (indulge in the Oreo shake or nonfat vanilla bean shake)…more
