Tubby & Coo’s is Now Presenting Reading Between the Wines!
On November 5, 2013, owner of Tubby & Coo’s, Candice Huber, launched a reading series called Reading Between the Wines at Pearl Wine Co. in Mid-City as part of Fleur de Lit, Candice’s literary events website. For the first year, we were happy and proud to partner with Maple Street Book Shops for book selling at the events. Beginning with our first event on February 4, 2015, Tubby & Coo’s will be taking over as the book seller.
Reading Between the Wines is a laid back, salon-type environment where we drink wine, eat cheese, and talk to local authors about their books. The event takes place on the first Wednesday evening of every month at Pearl Wine Co. inside of the American Can Company from 7:00-8:00 PM. Pearl offers wines by the glass for $5, and we offer lively conversation with amazing authors and great reads.
Come and join us for our 2015 kick off event on Wednesday, Feb. 4!

Alys Arden, author of The Casquette Girls. After the storm of the century rips apart New Orleans, Adele Le Moyne and her father are among the first to return to the city. Events too unnatural – even for New Orleans – lead Adele to an attic that’s been sealed for 300 years, and the chaos she unleashes threatens not only her life, but everyone she knows. Caught suddenly in a hurricane of eighteenth century myths and monsters, Adele must quickly untangle a web of magic that links the climbing murder rate in New Orleans to her own ancestors. But who can you trust in a city where everyone has a secret and where keeping them can be a matter of life and death – unless, of course, you’re immortal.
Deborah Burst, author of Louisiana’s Sacred Places: Churches, Cemeteries and Voodoo and Hallowed Halls of Greater New Orleans. Louisiana’s Sacred Places blurs the lines between the sacred and the profane.

Burst even brings readers inside Voodoo ceremonies with vivid photography and a detailed history on the religion with interviews from New Orleans’ own Voodoo priestess, Sallie Ann Glassman. Burst ends the book with some dark humor in how New Orleans celebrates its dead with jazz funerals and post-mortem parties fit for a king.
