Score Midnight Release Party

That's Novel Books

Join us for a celebration of Score by Kennedy Ryan!

On May 18, That’s Novel Books will cease to exist from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Instead, you’re invited to meet us at That’s Novel Jazz Club for a night of old school Hollywood glitz and glam, reminiscent of the Harlem Renaissance Dessi Blue herself was a part of. Enter the establishment on a red carpet complete with paparazzi there to snap your pics while you show off your finest 1920s, Harlem Renaissance inspired fits. Enjoy live jazz music from the great Braxton Bateman of Mo' Betta Thursdays, dance on our makeshift dance floor among the bookshelves, play cards with other attendees, get Hollywood glam inspired flash tattoos from Glitch Tattoo, get tarot readings from Sky Luna, shop from racks inspired by our theme set up by the best in the biz Thrift Pony, sip cocktails and mocktails provided by Room Service, and get some new bling courtesy of Lindsay Cadenhead Jewelry. As always, our midnight releases are FREE and open to anyone who wants to come, regardless of if you preorder the book with us or not. All are welcome to come and hang with us for the evening while we celebrate one of our favorite authors, Kennedy Ryan. If you do preorder the Indie Exclusive copy with us, it will be available at midnight for you. You do not need to stay until midnight if that’s too late for you! Feel free to come and hang for a bit, go get some sleep, and then come back Tuesday or even later in the week to pick up your preorder. A huge thank you to the local businesses helping us put on one incredible midnight release: Music: Braxton Bateman / Mo' Betta Thursdays Flash tattoos: Glitch Tattoo Forever jewelry: Lindsay Cadenhead Jewelry Photography (which will be available to all attendees): Julia Fay Photography Drinks: Room Service Shopping/clothing: Thrift Pony Tarot: Sky Luna Art: Studio Cultivate We can’t wait to see you there, live wires 😉 Preorder the Indie Exclusive Edition of SCORE by Kennedy Ryan: <a href="https://www.thatsnovelbooks.com/shop/p/preorder-score-kennedy-ryan" title="https://www.thatsnovelbooks.com/shop/p/preorder-score-kennedy-ryan" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.thatsnovelbooks.com/shop/p/preorder-score-kennedy-ryan</a>
