Still thinking about Book Lovers Night last week at Lakeshore Park. ❤️📚
It was simply magical from beginning to end.
The crowd showed up, and I left with almost empty bookshelves—which means I owe a HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by the book truck and supported Story Dates. Truly, thank you. Every purchase, every conversation, and every familiar face meant so much to me. 🥹❤️
A special thank you to Alyssa and her team for inviting me to be part of such a wonderful evening and for putting so much heart into bringing it all together. From the beautiful setting to the vendors, authors, and everyone who came out, there was such a wonderful sense of community.
And the evening continued with a sunset screening of Pride and Prejudice under the stars—a beautiful way to bring book lovers together and make the night even more memorable. 📖✨
This event really spoke to what COMMUNITY looks like. People coming together because they love books, supporting small businesses, discovering new authors, and enjoying an evening centered around something we all love.
I feel so lucky that the book truck got to be part of it. ❤️
And to all of the wonderful vendors and authors who shared the evening with me—thank you for making it such a beautiful night.
