Book Club Update!

Due to a scheduling conflict, we’re moving our October Romance Book Club back one week. Our new date is Thursday, October 8th!

We’ll also be doing a Book Boo Basket Swap! Bring a basket valued at $40 or less filled with a romance book and a few fun goodies. Get creative and make something you’d be excited to receive! Everyone is welcome.

You can leave your basket visible or wrap it up to make it a surprise. We can’t wait to see what everyone creates!

It’s my birthday!

Come celebrate with me at The Velvet Nook & Roast and try my personal favorite drink—the Caramel Pecan with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Enjoy it hot or iced while you browse for your next favorite romance.

I’d love to see you today!
No presents necessary 😉
