Hello friends!
Please join me to launch my three new reading-themed zines, including Found in Books vol 2.
There will be snacks and book chats, plus a bookish playlist to enjoy (including the Belle & Sebastian song in the title of this event!)
The zines will be $2 each or $5 for all three, cash only.
Bring your friends! xxx
