Saturday, August 15 is Bookstore Romance Day. Celebrate romance authors, readers and indie bookstores.

How will we be celebrating? Let us count the ways:
1. Bookstore Romance Day Tarot Readings
Romance and Tarot readings often go together. Come see what I have to say. (Please reserve your spot online.) Readings take about 15-20 minutes.

Readings will be done in the privacy of the second floor conference room or outdoor space (weather/people permitting).

2. Drink, eat, read, relax.
I am happy to partner with Design A Tea to craft The Beekeeper’s Bookshop tea blends. I am also thrilled about our new partnership with Rocket Coffee. Take home The Beekeeper’s “Buzz” Blend or different Beekeeper’s Bookshop tea blends today! Buy a mug to go with it!
Or - enjoy a beverage in store or on our new outdoor patio and grab a cookie (beverage and cookie on us to celebrate the day).

3. Audio Book Special
Celebrate Bookstore Romance Day with ’s romance sale from August 12-19! This is the perfect way to discover new romance reads, and every purchase supports our indie bookshop 💗🎧

Today is National Get out the Vote day!

Why should you vote?
-Democracy relies on our participation. Your voice matters.
-Often in small towns and rural areas, your vote literally makes the difference in who wins - sometimes elections are won by just a few votes.
-The representatives we choose make decisions that impact all of us. Your vote helps determine what those choices and decisions are.

Not sure where to start or need help? Go to Vote411.org. Here you can:

-Check your voter registration and/or register to vote.
-See what’s on the ballot in your voting district.
-Find your local polling place.
-Find information about upcoming debates in your area (and so much more).

Voting gives you power - the power to impact your communities. Be sure to use your power!

Sunday is National Book Lover's Day

It is also my birthday (Pauline - the owner, beekeeper).

Coincidence?

Perhaps, but I think it is fitting that my birthday falls on National Book Lover’s Day.

Come in and wish me a happy birthday and get 10% off your purchase. And celebrate National Book Lover's Day.
