Leave with a brand-new adventure.

When it’s sitting in your lap, is that when it’s official that you’ve written a third book??

Our favorite book store (sorry BAM) has some new hours, but check out their amazing local events they have going on for August!!! 🖤📚✨

As much as I would love to pretend I am an immortal bookstore creature sustained entirely by caffeine and new releases, I am unfortunately a human being who occasionally requires rest.

Beginning August 3rd, our new store hours are:

Tuesday–Saturday: 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
Sunday–Monday: Closed

Don't worry. The books will still be here. The fictional men will still need therapy. Your TBR pile will still be judging you.

I’ll just be slightly more rested when I enable your next questionable book-buying decision.

Thank you for supporting The Charmed Page, respecting the new schedule, and continuing to make this strange little bookstore dream possible.

Come see us Tuesday through Saturday for books, gifts, local authors, and your regularly scheduled literary emotional damage. 🖤📚
