Lykke Books We are a community space that includes a general interest bookstore, a coffee shop, yoga studio, and non-profit organization.

Lykke Books specializes in new and used adult and kids books as well as regional titles.

An evening of adventure, courage, and discovering what’s possible awaits!

Join us at Lykke Books on Thursday, August 20, at 5:30 PM as we welcome author Kristy Halvorsen for a special conversation about her memoir, Perfect Unfolding.

After leaving behind a fourteen-year firefighting career, Kristy traded the expected path for a life of exploration — selling her belongings, moving into an Airstream, and embracing the freedom and uncertainty of the open road. Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the greatest transformations begin when we take one brave step toward the life we dream about.

Come meet Kristy, hear the story behind Perfect Unfolding, and join us for an evening of inspiration, conversation, and connection.

Tickets are $5 and include a $5 Lykke Books coupon to use the night of the event. Reserve your tickets at ulmsweetulm.com/events.
