There’s magic that only happens inside an indie bookstore—and this week, it’s absolutely overflowing!
Indie Bookstore Day is nearly here, and if you’ve been meaning to grab tickets, mark your calendar, or just stop by and soak it all in… this is your moment!
🎉 INDIE BOOKSTORE DAY – LAST CALL
We’re heading into one of our favorite days of the year, and a couple of special events still have limited availability:
✨ Signing/Reception for Sing Down the Moon SATURDAY
✨ Plot Twist Project: Junk Journaling Workshop SUNDAY
If either has been on your radar, this is your last chance to grab tickets before they’re gone.
On the big day, expect a full day of exclusive indie bookstore day merch, treats, giveaways and surprises. PLUS: We’re part of the lowcountry book crawl happening Friday through Sunday!
