🍄✨ UNDER STORY appreciation post! We were lucky to have Chloe Benjamin stop at our store to hang out and sign copies (including the UK edition!) while she was in town for the Wisconsin Book Festival event with Christi Clancy 🤩 This book is gorgeously written, mind-bending, life changing, and hits close to home (literally) with tons of Madison references! A great Good Morning America Book Club pick, though I bedazzled my copy to cover the seal 😜

We also celebrated the WBF Fall Festival author announcement - mark your calendars for October 15-18 and come hang out with us at Madison Public Library 🗓️📚🍂

🛑THIS IS YOUR SIGN to visit the new location of Lake City Books! 🙌

Our main entrance has never been easier to find at 120 S Carroll St, just down the street from Canteen Taco and next door to Leopold Men’s Salon across from Boulders Climbing Gym and Wonderstate Coffee

Big thanks to Sign Art Studio for keeping their lovely creation safe while they got city approval and then reinstalling it perfectly and Urban Land Interests for their continued support 💙
