We are open until 2pm today and Sundays are always the most quiet, cozy days to browse! Come check out all of our Fall events, including the most amazing midnight release happening this week. 🖤💜
I’ve been waiting a long time to write this post.
Do you remember pulling up to a line outside Books and Briar at midnight to get your copies of Harry Potter? The smell of the ci**rs and books from the doorway? I do.
Every midnight release I attended growing up happened just down the road from where Lioness Lane now stands, and bringing that magic back to Riverton has been a dream of mine for many years.
So, we’re doing it. With that Lioness flare you all know we do so well.
I know it’s a Monday evening and we all have work and responsibilities the next day, but we’ve waited SO long to have midnight releases back, and we deserve to celebrate together!
