Us here at Renaissance Books want to wish Thirst Books a happy birthday as they just had their 1 year anniversary over the weekend and invited us over for the birthday party!

If you haven't gone to visit their bookshop just yet, make sure you do! As an independent book store, we all should strive for community growth together! 📚🎂
