The most rewarding part of owning a bookstore? The connections.
Today I had a fantastic meeting with Tessa, Maddy and Chris from IngramSpark. A reminder of how collaborative, innovative and supportive the literature world truly is.
These moments behind the scenes are what help shape what we bring into store… and what we offer next.

What an unforgettable night ✨📖

We’re still smiling after such an incredible evening at The Forbidden Chapter celebrating Saving Soul by Ann Penny. From the laughter-filled conversations to the beautiful connections made, it was truly something special 💫

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and brought such amazing energy into the room — and of course to Ann Penny and TL Swan for sharing their stories, their time, and so many wonderful moments with us.

Nights like this are what the book community is all about 🤍
We can’t wait to do it all again.
