Five years ago, Sweet Home Books was just a dream. Tomorrow, we’re celebrating five years of books, friendships, book clubs, storytimes, author events, and a community that has supported us through every chapter.

To say thank you, we’ve packed the day with surprises: giveaways, special promotions, free books, preorder deals, birthday fun, and more!

Watch this quick video from Catherine to get all the details, then make plans to stop by and celebrate with us tomorrow! Whether you’ve been with us since day one or just discovered us recently, we’re so grateful you’re part of our story.
