What happens when an overcaffeinated artist and nerdy ghostwriter open a bookstore? Stop by the shop and find out!

Thanks to everyone who joined us yesterday for Maus. We appreciate everyone who helped create a thoughtful discussion around a difficult but important book.

Next month we'll be discussing Twilight by Stephenie Meyer at , Corsair Distillery, on September 13 at 1 PM.
Love it or hate it, Twilight became one of the defining books of the 2000s. Its influence on young adult publishing, fandom culture, and paranormal romance is impossible to ignore.

The novel has been challenged for religious viewpoints, sexual themes, and concerns about relationship dynamics. Those debates have kept it on challenged-book lists for years.

Join us September 13 at 1 PM at as we revisit a book that shaped a generation of readers.

Banned Book Club meets today at 1 PM.

We'll be discussing Maus by Art Spiegelman at , Corsair Distillery.

This groundbreaking graphic novel combines family history, Holocaust testimony, and memoir in a way that forever changed the literary landscape.

Bring your thoughts, questions, and observations.
See you at 1 PM.

Last night's discussion of Trust No One reminded me why I love book clubs. Everyone walks into the room carrying a slightly different version of the same story, and by the end of the evening we've all discovered something we missed.

Our September selection is The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton.

Some books are entertaining because of the story. Others are entertaining because they're impossible to stop thinking about after you've turned the last page. This one manages to do both. Turton has built a mystery where every answer leads to another question, making it the perfect kind of novel to unpack with a room full of readers.

Whether you've finished the book, just cracked the cover, or simply enjoy hearing people talk about great books, you're welcome.

The Last Murder at the End of the World is available in the store and through Bookshop.org.

Join us Tuesday, September 8, at 7:00 p.m. at .

Trust no one. Read everything. Or read nothing and come anyway. Tonight we dig into James Rollins' breakneck thriller and all are welcome — no pop quizzes, no tricky questions, just good people and great beer. Bearded Iris , 100 Taylor Street, 7PM.

There's still time to read Maus.

Part memoir, part biography, and part historical testimony, Maus remains one of the most important graphic novels ever published. Its exploration of memory, trauma, family, and survival continues to resonate with readers around the world.
The book has faced challenges because of language, nudity, violence, and its depiction of historical atrocities.

Join us at , Corsair Distillery, on August 9 at 1 PM.

You don't need to finish the book to participate. The conversation is always open.

07/29/2026

We’ll be closing at 2 PM today to see The Odyssey.

This is the bookstore version of hanging up the “Gone Fishin’” sign. Except with fewer fish and considerably more Greeks making terrible decisions on the way home.

We’ll return to our regularly scheduled bookselling tomorrow.

Coffee Talks heads to Humphreys Street tomorrow.

Good coffee serving a bigger purpose. Every cup supports programs that invest directly in Nashville's young people.

Bring what you're reading, bring a sketchbook, or bring nothing at all.

This is just a chance to share space with your neighbors.

Tomorrow, 8–10ish.

A quick note: I didn't verify the Instagram handles. I'd double-check them before scheduling the posts, as coffee shops occasionally change accounts or use location-specific profiles.

Halfway through July and Trust No One is waiting. James Rollins does not let up — but no worries if life has. Come to Bearded Iris on August 4 whether you finished it or not. The vibe is chill and the beer is cold. 100 Taylor Street, 7PM.

07/17/2026

Coffee Talks heads to The Loading Dock
tomorrow.

Part coffee shop, part community hub, and exactly the sort of place Coffee Talks was made for.

Bring what you're reading, bring a sketchbook, or bring nothing at all.

This is just a chance to share space with your neighbors.

Tomorrow, 8–10ish.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for yesterday's discussion of 1984. One of the joys of Banned Book Club is discovering how many different ways readers can interpret the same book.

Next month we'll be discussing Maus by Art Spiegelman at , Corsair Distillery, on August 9 at 1 PM.

Maus is a landmark graphic novel that tells the story of the Holocaust through the experiences of Spiegelman's father. It changed what many readers, educators, and publishers thought graphic novels could accomplish as literature.

The book has been challenged and banned because of depictions of violence, nudity, language, and its portrayal of the Holocaust. Those challenges only reinforce why books that confront difficult history remain important.
