The BartleBook Club is turning 1! 🥳📖🍨

Join us on November 5 for the one-year anniversary meeting of our in-shop book club! As a nod back to the literary classic that started it all—Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville—we’re picking up another historical read, Hard Times by Charles Dickens. Come for the critique of capitalism, stay for some ice cream and a toast to our anniversary!

Our book club is free to attend—just RSVP at the link in our bio to make sure you get a spot.
