Happy Holidays Begin Here…

Yes, ma’am and yes, sir – December is a big month for all of us, so we’re kicking it off in style with TODAY’s big book signing. And yes, by the end of this week we’ll have another big book signing with Angie Mizzell on Saturday. Then we’ll kick off next week when Sunday’s Summerville Christmas Parade comes right on past Main Street Reads!

Let’s get right to it so you can plan your week around your fabulous downtown community, shall we?

Today, we’re hosting five authors – five amazing books – a fun-filled Sunday afternoon at Main Street Reads, beginning at 3 p.m. Treats will be served and all are welcome – here’s a wonderful chance to meet the authors, including local favorite Christina Sinisi, and grab signed copies of their work, just in time for holiday gift giving (or a wonderful gift for yourself!) Learn more about EACH Author HERE!

On Monday, our popular Main Street Writes meets LIVE in the store, so join us for some festive writing fun. If you can’t join live, the Zoom link will still be up for those joining from the couch. DETAILS HERE.

And on Wednesday, it’s our regularly scheduled Stories on the Square at 9:30 a.m. Bring the littles and enjoy some reading time together!

Fab Fantasy Thursday: Iron Flame

Iron Flame – need we say more?! Yes, we have more copies, so if you haven’t grabbed yours yet, suggest you do before more madness ensues.

We’re looking forward to a lively discussion! It all begins at 6:30 pm and you can grab more details HERE. We’ll also have previews of upcoming club picks.

Drum Roll Please…Angie is In the House

Journalist and author Angie Mizzell is “in the house” on Saturday at 11 a.m. She’ll be at Main Street Reads to sign her fascinating new memoir, Girl in the Spotlight.

Especially excited about this one, readers, since Angie and I had the privilege of serving on Charleston’s Center for Women board together – and she’s fantastic! Learn more HERE.

Christmas Parade: Join the Fun…

As always, we’ll have hot cocoa for shoppers, and some chairs (big and little) outside for the parade coming right down Main Street.

And as always, whoever lets us know FIRST gets ’em. You MUST email mainstreetreads@gmail.com with your request (put 2023 Christmas Parade in the header). More details HERE. The parade starts at 2 p.m. and parking may be challenging with street closures so plan to arrive early!

Joint Club Holiday Cheer December 12th

On Tuesday, December 12th, club members from our Living Large, Thrill in the ‘Ville and Fab Fantasy will ALL gather for some holiday cheer. We’ll be providing food and drink, and everyone is encouraged to bake/bring their favorite holiday cookies – we’ll have boxes you can pack some in for an old-fashioned cookie exchange!

The fun begins at 6:30 p.m. and we’ll have a sneak peek of club selections for January through June 2024, so you can plan your club dates ahead of time and grab your January/February picks for any holiday down-time reading opportunities… perchance to dream, eh?

DECEMBER BOOK PICKS!

There’s still time to grab picks. Our publishers are telling us December 13th is the last “safe day” to order in books and get ’em in time for holiday gift giving. Enjoy these selections – click here or on the image below and get reading!
