Have you reserved your spots for the speakeasy yet? 👀🥃

Step back into the Roaring ’20s with The BB Speakeasy—an evening of local authors, storytelling, costumes, specialty drinks, gift baskets, and a little rebellion in honor of Banned Books Week. 📚✨

Thursday, October 8 | 6:30–10 PM
📍 Cult Classic Brewing

Grab your tickets before they disappear… after all, speakeasies aren’t meant to stay a secret. 🤫📖

Come dressed to impress. Come ready to celebrate books.

When my friend Mary recommended Tangerine and described it as dark and twisty, with a little The Talented Mr. Ripley energy, I knew I had to get a copy for myself and one for the store. 👀📚

We’re open today until 4 PM, and then we’re closing up for the long Labor Day weekend.

So before you head off for the weekend, come grab a book—or tell us what you already have waiting on your nightstand!

Drop a comment and let us know: What are you reading this Labor Day Weekend? 📖☀️

📚 This week at Brackish Books!

We’ll be open Thursday & Friday, 12–4 PM, but then we’re taking the weekend off and will be closed Saturday & Sunday for Labor Day weekend. 🇺🇸

Our social media manager (who, by the way, now has his OWN BUSINESS CARDS) deserves a little break before heading back to school!

So come see us Thursday or Friday, grab a book, a cold brew, and maybe wish our newly minted business-card-carrying social media manager a happy back-to-school! 😂📖
