Three years ago, we held our first gentle books popup amidst fickle rain showers. We truly didn’t know if anyone would show up, and were grateful to meet so many readers. Three years later, we’re still hosting monthly popups and moving hundreds of secondhand books each month. Thank you all for being a part of this journey with us! Happy birthday, gentle books! 📚🎂 Here’s a photo dump from that first rainy June popup. Love, Jess and Diane.
