Confessional Cam: Honey Look, I’m just trying to finish my PhD, mind my business, and survive in a world that seems determined to test my patience. Is that too much to ask? Apparently. Because every time I turn around, somebody’s saying the wrong thing, doing the wrong thing, or underestimating the wrong woman. I’m not saying I have all the answers… but I do believe people should face the consequences of their actions. And if that makes me a little complicated? So be it. 👀 Sharp, clever, and impossible to put down, Honey by Imani Thompson will have you questioning who deserves your sympathy and who deserves your suspicion. Join us on July 25th for our Brews, Clues & Alibis book club discussion as we unpack every twist, theory, and jaw-dropping moment. 📚 Books are available now at LIT Java!

Wow, June was incredible at LIT Java! ☕📚 From book clubs and book blinging to Veteran Meetups, Story Time & Crafts, author meet-and-greets, workout classes, Paint & Sip nights, and Open Mic Night, our bookstore was filled with learning, laughter, creativity, and connection all month long. Every event, every conversation, every cup of coffee, and every page turned is possible because of this amazing community. Thank you for showing up, supporting local, and making LIT Java a place where stories and people come together.

Thank you to author @trisharthomas for joining us at LIT Java! 📚✨ We had a meaningful and engaging discussion about Nappily Ever After, exploring the complex relationship many Black women have with their hair, identity, beauty standards, and the experiences and trauma that can sometimes be tied to our hair journeys. The conversation was honest, thought-provoking, and filled with reflection, laughter, and connection. We appreciate Trisha for sharing her story and helping create a space where these important conversations could take place. And because no LIT Java event is complete without a themed drink, we featured a signature latte for one night only — The No-Lye Latte ☕✨, inspired by the book and the conversations surrounding it. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a memorable evening. We loved celebrating the 25th anniversary of Nappily Ever After with all of you! ❤️📖 #LITJava #TrishaRThomas #NappilyEverAfter #AuthorVisit #BookDiscussion BooksAndCoffee LITConversations TheNoLyeLatte BookstoreEvents

Moderated by @tiye28always , the conversation was insightful, engaging, and filled with meaningful discussion. We had the opportunity to get to know Aries better, learn more about her writing journey, and even get a sneak peek of what’s coming next. A special shoutout to Tiye, who was an amazing moderator. She asked thoughtful questions, kept the conversation flowing naturally, and created a space where readers could truly connect with the author and the story. At this point, we consider her part of the LIT Java family, and we are always grateful for her support and presence at our events. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who joined us for this intimate afternoon of books, conversation, and community.

📚✨ Story Time Recap at LIT Java ✨📚 Last week’s Little LITs Story Time was such a special morning! We were honored to welcome local author Kendra Thomas, who shared her wonderful book Kimari’s Summer Vacation with Her Grandparents with our young readers. The kids enjoyed an engaging story filled with summer adventures, family connections, and plenty of imagination. After story time, everyone had fun creating their own summer bucket lists during our craft activity, dreaming up all the exciting things they hope to do this season. A huge thank you to Kendra Thomas for spending part of her Saturday with us and inspiring our Little LITs to keep reading, learning, and exploring new adventures through books. 💛 We love seeing families gather, children discover new stories, and our community come together one page at a time. 📖 Join us every Saturday at 10:00 AM for Little LITs Story Time & Crafts at LIT Java. You never know what story adventure awaits next! #LittleLITs #StoryTimeAtLITJava #CommunityThroughBooks #ChildrensBooks #ReadLeadSucceed LITJava SummerReadingFun SupportLocalAuthors
