Thank you again to our buds at Café Little Treasure for crafting Whore’s Bath—the excellent rosewater martini to accompany our event to close out LONESOME DOVE SUMMER-FALL. Especially since it matched my book so well. ;)

Our first night of Live Jazz was a big success and I’m still over the moon thrilled. We’re beyond fortunate to be able to host these immensely talented musicians, Rafael Castillo-Halvorssen & Benjamin Appel. The courtyard and shop were full most of the night—I’m so pleased by the response from the community and excited to bring Rafael & Ben back (hopefully soon!). Again thank you to our friend Jorge for making this happen!!!

Join us THIS SATURDAY, September 19 (6-8pm in the Wireworks Courtyard) for an evening of Jazz with performers Rafael Castillo-Halvorssen and Benjamin Appel. This is our first time hosting live music and utterly thrilled for this opportunity. Many thanks to friend of GH, Jorge Ortiz, for making this happen!

We celebrated three years (!!!) of Golden Hour Books, and there were spectacular hot dogs and sunny spritzes and sidewalk chalk, happy kiddos, and really beautiful community.

A million thanks to everyone who joined us—and for showing up in the shop and at my book clubs and other events. But also for simply showing up in the shop on a random day to browse for a book (or beverage or candle or face cream or card or other gift) because without you I can’t keep the lights on, much less “activate the space” in these ways. Much gratitude for Newburgh!! I love you guysssss❣️🌞🙏

Special thx to Wireworks Café Little Treasure Reed Loar for helping me make it happen.
