Everett, your favorite mobile (and soon to be brick-and-mortar) bookstore is coming back to town this weekend!

Come join us on Friday, September 11 between 5-9pm at Scuttlebutt Brewing Taproom (on Cedar St, not the waterfront!) for our monthly book swap, mobile bookstore pop-up, flash tattoos, and brews!

This month, we’ll have the following artists join us:
• Violet Hall | Traveling Tattooer & Fine Artist
• Ornamental Hand Poked Tattoos in Seattle, WA from Prince Johnny Tattoo Studio

Flash sheets will be posted as we get closer to the event date (usually a couple of days in advance!)

Plus, join us at 6:30 for a discussion of Honey by Imani Thompson led by our wonderful Yoly! You still have a couple of weeks to read it if you haven’t already, so move that up your TBR! This will also be the last of our SnoCo book club meetups for now, so if you want to just come hang out even if you haven’t read the book, you’re more than welcome!

We’ll also have our book swap table set up as always! Here’s how it works:
📚 Bring 1-3 gently used books to exchange (please ONLY bring books you’d be excited to pick up yourself! This is not your opportunity to clean out dirty/waterlogged/otherwise unwanted books, as it ruins the fun for everyone)
📚When you arrive, drop them off at the table inside the brewery which will have signage marking it!
📚 Keep an eye on the table throughout the night and pick up as many as you brought to keep it fair for everyone 😊

And finally, our mobile bookstore will be set up right outside the brewery for all your book shopping needs and desires! Grab a brew and come pursue our shelves for something new to add to your collection!

RSVPs are optional but help us a ton with planning; you can do so in the place where you tap the thing. Hope to see you there!!

We put up our “coming soon” posters today, marking this the day we have our logo on the windows of our new brick-and-mortar bookstore!

The space will be a work in progress for the next couple of months as we get it ready to be our new home base. We’re currently in the initial stages of design and planning and prepping to submit permits.

We’ll be keeping you up to date with the progress as we get everything going! In the meantime, you can always support us by finding our truck at one of our upcoming pop-ups, ordering online, or becoming a member through our website.

So excited for this next chapter…stay tuned!! 💕🥹

The Seattle area’s little pink mobile bookstore is growing up: we’re officially opening a brick-and-mortar storefront in Everett just outside of downtown!!

Here’s a glimpse at some of the behind the scenes over the last month or so, from the initial tour to some of the roller coaster of emotions we went through during this initial process of securing our space.

You can also get a glimpse at what it looks like now; but there’s a lot of work ahead to make it match our vision for the space!!

Stay tuned as we’ll be posting process updates here and on our IG. We can’t wait to start this next chapter with you!!

The secret is out: Lost The Plot Books is getting a physical storefront in Everett!!

Your favorite mobile bookstore is setting down roots and getting established in the gorgeous Deifenbacher building just outside of downtown Everett on Hewitt Ave.

We’re so excited for the possibility of amping up our events to the next level and continuing to build up our community in the Snohomish County area. There’s so many possibilities with this space and we can’t wait to explore them alongside you!!

Along with this next step, we will also be expanding our inventory. In addition to adult fiction, we’re planning on adding a small non-fiction and a small children’s sections. We will also be bringing in more of the popular books than what you’re used to seeing in the truck.

But no matter what, you can always rely on Lost The Plot to keep stories by underrepresented voices front-and-center. Not only is that what we built our brand on, but more importantly, it’s who we strongly believe should always be the key focus, which is even more prevalent today.

That said, if you’re not in the area, don’t worry: we’re still planning on keeping Plotsie on the road as much as possible! We’re building out a team to help keep both locations going. Nothing inventory-wise will be changing with the truck, and we hope it’ll continue being your go-to destination for discovering adult fiction.

It will take us some time to get everything built out for the brick-and-mortar, so we don’t have a grand opening date yet. We’re crossing our fingers we can open in time for the holidays, but this mostly depends on how quickly we can get our permits going. Please stay tuned for updates once we have a tentative open date!

(1/2, scroll for more captions)

In the meantime, here’s how you can help support our growth:

1. Leave a review on Google (free!): Now that we’re expanding to a physical storefront, these reviews will help more than ever to get people to discover Lost The Plot. If you’ve ever been to one of our pop-ups, please consider leaving us a quick rating & review to help the algorithm gods like us!

2. Become a member: We’re revamping our membership program and adding new perks alongside our ad
