Join us for a Rich, Red & Addicting cocktail demonstration on Saturday, April 22nd at 4:00 pm in our NEW BOOKTIQUE! This in-person adventure compliments our Book Club chat for Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn, BUT PRE-READING IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT…
Local Chicago mixologist (Shelby Westart) will be demonstrating how to craft cocktails and mocktails from curated drink recipes that compliment the featured story. You'll get to taste her custom creations and ask any questions you might have too! NOTE: A percentage of the proceeds for this event will directly support this talented artist.
Psst... If ya didn't read the story with our Book Club, there's still time to pick up a physical copy, audiobook, or Book Box with curated reading pairings below before the event OR join us for the workshop before you dive into the book - your choice!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Longtime personal assistant Georgie Mulcahy has made a career out of putting others before herself. When an unexpected upheaval sends her away from her hectic job in L.A. and back to her hometown, Georgie must confront an uncomfortable truth: her own wants and needs have always been a disconcertingly blank page.
But then Georgie comes across a forgotten artifact - a "friendfic" diary she wrote as a teenager, filled with possibilities she once imagined. To an overwhelmed Georgie, the diary's simple, small-scale ideas are a lifeline - a guidebook for getting started on a new path.
Georgie's plans hit a snag when she comes face to face with an unexpected roommate - Levi Fanning, onetime town troublemaker and current town hermit. But this quiet, grouchy man is more than just his reputation, and he offers to help Georgie with her quest. As the two make their way through her wishlist, Georgie begins to realize that what she truly wants might not be in the pages of her diary after all, but right by her side - if only they can both find a way to let go of the pasts that hold them back.
Honest and deeply emotional, Georgie, All Along is a smart, tender must-read for everyone who's ever wondered about the life that got away...
