Join us Wednesday, September 17th to celebrate the new release from local humor and satire writer Lucie Frost!

About How The Hell Did I Not Know That?

After quitting her job with an awkward text to her boss, Lucie Frost planned to live out her early retirement fantasy. Except she was lost, an empty nester with no job, no structure, no identity, and no clear purpose. Everything changed after she binge-watched the television program 90 Day Fiancé one day, which led to a stream of answers to her question about midlife stagnation: What do we do with our lives when our jobs or children are no longer making those decisions for us?

Mark your calendars to come see us September 18th at 6 PM for an in person discussion of Love At First Sighting, our August Happy Endings Book Club pick. We'll also have extended Happy Hour specials for meeting attendees, so you can enjoy $2 off beer, wine by the glass, and kombucha.

Friday, September 19th at Nowhere Bookshop, we’ll be celebrating the launch of THIS IS HOW WE ROLL, a very queer YA anthology celebrating the love of TTRPGs with Texas-based party members Anna Meriano, Linsey Miller, and Jonny Garza Villa! come hang out for a great conversation on short stories, tabletop role-playing games, and how queerness simply makes them so much better!

Join us for an intimate evening of cocktails, conversation, and culinary inspiration with Pati Jinich, Emmy-nominated chef and James Beard Award-winning author.

Enjoy light bites and signature drinks in the warm, modern setting of Mezquite as Pati connects with guests over her passion for Mexican cuisine and storytelling.

This special event is part of Ven a Comer 2025 and a perfect prelude to our gala celebration.

Sip, savor, and meet one of Mexico’s most beloved culinary voices.
