It’s time to celebrate your favorite local indies! 2017 Bookstore Day marks its third year of celebrating independent bookstores nationwide, with literary parties around the country.

Tubby & Coo’s will offer exclusive day-of merchandise created especially for Independent Bookstore Day by major publishers and authors, including a color-your-own poster inspired and SIGNED by Jenny Lawson, literary condoms,

You know Stonemaier Games, right? They make some of the most popular games at our game night, including Euphoria and Between Two Cities, and they broke Kickstarter records with their newest release, Scythe (coming soon!). Perhaps their most popular game is called Viticulture, which is a Euro strategy game where you compete to see who can create the greatest winery in Italy. There is also a new expansion to Viticulture called Tuscany Essential Edition, which adds so much to the game that once you play with it, you’ll never want to play without it. The extended board alone is worth the
