We are THRILLED that @ayanagray_ is coming to NWA Bookfest this year! We’re such fans of her Beasts of Prey series and I, Medusa, and we can’t wait to read Hawk & Sparrow when it releases in a few weeks!

While Ayana has gained worldwide recognition, we love that she writes these incredible stories in Arkansas. We can’t wait to have with us on September 26th at the Walton Arts Center! by @nwabookfest

Vintage. Modern. Chic. Local. And a little sweet.

Eclectic - it’s how we like our books AND our sponsors! Be sure to stop by their booth or visit their shop for your next trinket or TBR addition (we don’t judge).

Sponsors like these make our event possible, supporting our mission to support the growing literary community in NWA through celebration and gentle reading practices. If you’re interested in sponsoring a future event please visit our website or sent us a DM!
