The Cove, is hosting a Boozy Book Fair for adults in celebration of Pride month on Friday, June 20th at Two Broads Ciderworks in San Luis Obispo from 5-8 p.m in partnership with The Gala Center. The event will feature a diverse selection of books by queer authors, bookish merchandise, fun games and more.
The Cove is an online bookstore owned by local New York Times bestselling author, Kalyn Josephson, which sells signed copies and special editions of books by local authors and bestsellers alike in addition to hosting pop-up events like the book fair throughout San Luis Obispo county.
“Book fairs were such a formative part of so many readers’ childhoods,” Kalyn Josephson explained. “I’ve seen a lot of readers clamoring for something similar as adults, and I love the idea of bringing readers together at a fantastic local business in celebration of the diversity of fiction.”
While the main focus of the event highlights The Cove’s curated selection of books, it will also include other local craft vendors, drinks from Two Broads Ciderworks, and a fundraising opportunity for The Gala Center. Attendees will have the option to buy and donate a discounted book to The Gala Center’s growing library of queer fiction.
Can’t make it? The next author event is already scheduled. Join The Cove at SLO Ranch Farms & Marketplace on Saturday, June 28th at 10 a.m. for a reading, Q&A, and signing for Josephson’s middle grade novel, RAVENFALL, a supernatural mystery series that follows a family of psychics who live at a sentient inn at the crossroads of the human world and the Otherworld.
