Hello friends,
the year is rolling along slowly and with the first glimpses of spring visible we wanted to share the book club picks for the coming quarter 🌷
You might notice a small change in the Saturday starting time. Since we shifted our opening times to 11-18 a while ago, book club attendees arriving before 11:00 technically means they get in before opening times, and we feel more ready to welcome you to our space once we've had the time to properly open. Therefore we decided to change the book club starting time to 11:15 - so you can feel free to show up a little early, and we get to take our time opening 🥰
Almost all of these books are new additions to our assortment, so most of them aren't available just yet. We just ordered them and expect them to start arriving before the weekend or maybe next week, so please be patient, and keep an eye out 👀
Happy reading 🥰
