Meet some of your favorite romance authors, get signed books, listen in on panels, and mingle with other romance lovers. It's going to be a fabulous day! This year, we'll also have Pam Jaffee (former publicist to the stars) giving out romance book recommendations. You can PREORDER books from Aesop's Fable so you are assured they will be here on the day of.
We're thrilled that Read My Lips Boston (Lily and Hannah highlight authors and main characters who identify as BIPOC, persons with disabilities, LGBTQIA,& more) will be hosting a pop-up booksale from 10am-12pm and will also have a station to make your own love potion - what could be more fun than books and the ability to mesmerize your love interest?!
AND, we're going to do a romance book exchange - so bring a few that you're ready to part with and take a few to replenish that TBR pile. We'll have a table ready and anything left at the end of the day will go to the Friends of the APL - win/win/win!
You may bring books from home to be signed but only 3 per author can be signed at a time (you'd just have to get back in the line to have more signed).
Please register so we know how many chairs to have out (and you'll receive reminders!). USE THIS LINK to register.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library.
