ENTER THE LABYRYNTH AT BOOKED!! We're kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating with of our favorite authors, the amazing Karla Arenas Valenti! Her new novel is an Aztec-mythology-themed adventure starring two 13-year-olds, a talking dog, a very funny chicken, and the perfect amount of peril! It's a great book for fans of Percy Jackson, reading level ages 8-13.

Karla will tell us about her book and the mythology that inspired it and we'll make our own labyrinth projects!!

Cozy crafting and a bag of moss 🥰 bookstore romance day with Jaleigh Johnson was SO much fun! We’re still finding glitter and flower petals around the store (to be fair, that’s pretty normal for us✨)
