Holiday Speed Date-a-Book

Our most popular event of the year is back, with two chances to join the fun!

Gather your friends, family, or book club pals and settle in for an evening of fast-paced book matchmaking. Booksellers will rotate among tables, giving their best five-minute pitches for their favorite reads of the year. It’s fun, hilarious, and joyous. You’ll get your Christmas shopping done (and probably find a few books for yourself, too).

You’ll also draw your own discount, anywhere from 10–30% off your entire purchase that night.

This year, we’re excited to provide you with a limited-edition tote bag designed by local artist Madeleine Greeson (sisteryarrow.com). It’s the perfect way to carry home your new stack of books.

Expect cozy vibes, laughter, and plenty of bookish cheer. Space is limited to 30 guests each night, and this event fills up fast.
