BOO-zy Book Swap & Sip @ Old Stove Ship Canal (Seattle)
Celebrate Halloween by swapping & shopping for books, sipping local brews, and painting bookmarks w/ costume contest, raffles, & swag bags!
Book Swap & Sip with Old Stove Ship Canal X Lost The Plot | HALLOWEEN EDITION
Join us for a eerie-sistible night of books, brews, and Halloween fun at Old Stove Ship Canal on October 30th!
Come dressed as your favorite book or fictional character for our costume contest, swap some stories at the book swap table, and browse an eerie pop-up bookstore featuring new & used reads, blind dates with a book, and spooky bookish goodies.
How it Works:
Our book swaps are all about the cozy, casual vibes. They're designed to feel like a social event where you just happen to be surrounded by books. Here's how it works:
- Bring 1-3 books you've already read (or ones you're ready to clear off your shelves). This event is not genre-specific, and any books are open. The only requirement is to please ensure they are in good condition; something you wouldn't mind lending a friend!
- When you arrive, drop your books off at the book swap table (there will be signage!), then hang out, grab a drink from our host venue, and start browsing books you'd like to take home.
- Please only take as many books as you brought in to keep it fair. In the last hour of the event, we will open it up to take as many of the remainder books as you'd like. Any books left over after the event get distributed to little free libraries around the city.
- Throughout the event, you can also shop our curated book collections and add new reads to your TBR! Get 10% off your purchase from Lost The Plot by showing proof of purchase from our host venue. Purchase from LTP and our host venue is not required, but helps keep these (and other) events going!
Plus, we’ll have plenty of Halloween extras to set the mood. In addition to the book swap, you'll find:
- A donation-based raffle for an opportunity to win free books*
- A free trick-or-treat grab bag
- A costume contest for an opportunity to win a $50 Bookshop.org gift card
- Fun, Halloween-themed music
- FREE bookmark painting pop-up with Inner Sparkle Arts
- Curated books & bookish merch to shop, including a 20% discount on all Horror books!
It’s the perfect excuse to sip local brews, show off your costume, and kick off Halloween surrounded by fellow book lovers.
*Raffle Details:
Every $5 you donate to the Ballard Food Bank will result in one raffle ticket, which will give you the chance to win:
- A $50 Bookshop.org gift card
- A Lost The Plot tote bag
- Signed copies of books by local authors
- A Crisp Leaves fall candle by Novelly Yours
