Heyyyyyyy guys💗

First thing, book club was literally hoppin last night. Lots of conversations took place, (some even about the book🤣.)

Our August pick is “I See You’ve Called In Dead”
-4.1 stars
-Bud’s wife left him, his life is in shambles, and he drinks a little too much. When he writes and publishes his own obituary one night, the paper wants to fire him. But how do you fire a dead guy?
-a second chance to rewrite your life
-add some humor, some meaningfulness, and join us for book club on August 27th.

Order your copy here for next weeks delivery😏

Speaking of August, truth be told, 6-7pm is a little quiet for us. And that’s okay.

You can still find us from 10-6 Tuesday-Saturdays except event nights when we stay open a little too late😉

Finally, Chicken Nugget also joined us for book club and he agrees. 7pm is past his bed time I suppose. 😴💤🐈

I. Am. Exhausted. In the best way possible.

They say it takes a village, and I am forever eternally grateful for mine.
The friends and people who have helped in the last few weeks, the support from all of you, today’s book fair was a success because of you.

Thanks to everyone who came and shopped today, met new authors and vendors and had a good time! And to the Parkersburg Art Center for allowing us to use your ballroom💃

And especially to this group of ladies, truly the best crew a gal could have to help run this bookshop💗

Until next time, A Market Street Book Fair😏😉
