Two years of books, coffee, community, chaos, and YOU! 🤭

We’re so excited to celebrate this milestone with you, all month long and because every birthday needs a sweet treat… We’re introducing our Frosted Animal Cracker latte! 🐘🍪✨ Sweet, nostalgic, and basically childhood in a cup.

⚠️Contains almonds⚠️

Here’s to two years of Monkey Wrench and many, many more! 🫶🏼

SEPTEMBER WRENCH READS ⚡️

Things are getting a little weird this month… 👁️

Join us September 8th at 6:30 PM for our next book club, where we’ll be discussing Electric Shamans at the Festival of the Sun, a horror read that promises to give us PLENTY to talk about.

Come for the book, stay for the strange 😏

🎶 LIVE AT THE WRENCH 🎶

This Wednesday, August 26 at 5:45 PM, we’re welcoming Sophie Cash & Jim Truman to Monkey Wrench Books for an evening of live music!

Sophie Cash is a composer and musician whose work moves through vocal music, folk, Americana, sound design, soundtracks, and multimedia; bringing a thoughtful, genre-wandering approach to her music.

Morgantown’s own Jim Truman has been performing since the ’70s, sharing stages with artists like Stephen Stills, Leon Russell, and John Sebastian along the way. After spending nine years traveling the country as a stand-up comedian, Jim brings that same wit to his folk-style music, original songs, and wonderfully offbeat storytelling!

Two artists, plenty of stories, and an evening of live music tucked inside YOUR neighborhood bookstore. 📚🎸

Come grab a drink, find a seat, and spend the evening with us. 😊

Leslie has once again read the books so you don’t have to wander the store whispering, “I don’t know… I just want something good.”

This week’s recommended are certified bangers, no skips, and at least one book you’ll end up making your entire personality. 📚🫡

August is Women in Translation Month 📚🌎

A celebration of the women who write across languages, cultures, borders, and experiences as well as the translators whose craft carries their words into our hands. This month, we’re making a little extra room on our shelves (and in our TBRs) for their stories.

Meet Maddie! Hailing from Fairmont, WV, she spends her days teaching dance, collecting stickers at an impressive (and possibly concerning) rate, and reading just about anything she can get her hands on. If there’s one thing to know, it’s that she’s a Romantic with a capital R (she’s a Pisces ♓️🥰). Stop by, say hello, and ask her what she’s reading… just be prepared to leave with a few recommendations. 🤭
