|
“Enjoy these second summer days, before the frost of fall really sets in.” ― Sarah Laskow
Just dropping into your inbox a quick moment, Reader, to remind you about the meetups remaining for this month and all of those for next month (the dates are weird for next month, playing a little bit of leapfrog, so pay close attention)... and to share a thing or two with you. We are seeing such warm, September weather... Are you back at the beach with your Summer reads? Are you determinedly reaching for your Autumn reads, cozy sweater hanging over the back of your chair? Are you pining for cooler weather? Reader, I am so ready for the cooler Fall days, colourful foliage and hot & spicy lattes (and books!)

We haven't scraped away the fun stuff though don't worry! Nothing about the events of the weekend is changing but the biggest change you will see is the prices..."
