THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

This Valentine’s season, prepare to fall in love….with a book! Who says Valentine’s Day has to be about  romantic love?

Join professional facilitators Alice Moody and Ann Walters for this special event where you’ll discover your perfect literary match (or two!) – and mingle with new and old friends.

Simply bring any favorite book close to your heart that you can’t wait to share. Engage in fun, fast-paced, one-on-one conversations where you describe your book and learn about someone else’s before moving on to your next “date.”

Valentine cocktails, mocktails, treats, rating sheets, raffle prizes, and more! Come alone or bring a friend… it’s time to fall head over heels with your next great read!

About Alice & Ann:

Alice Moody & Ann Walters began Between the Covers Book Discussions in 2016. As professional facilitators, they’ve led hundreds of talks at libraries, independent bookstores, community centers, and private homes and venues. In addition to hosting pop-up recommendation events, they run a popular online literary subscription series, now in its third year. Before founding their current venture, Ann was a longtime bookseller at Lake Forest Book Store and blogged at Books on the Table. Alice, a writing coach and workshop leader, created Short Stories Live, a unique experience that melds live performance with literary discussion. Both Alice & Ann believe in the power of books to build connections and broaden our understanding of humanity.
