In 2025, we met Julia Quinn & Elise Hooper

Bestselling authors joined us for an afternoon of books, conversation, and tea.

We enjoyed a lively discussion, book signing, and light refreshments in the company of fellow book lovers. Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series, and Elise Hooper, acclaimed historical fiction writer of The Other Alcott and Fast Girls, shared insights into their work and writing journeys. It was a special opportunity to connect with two beloved authors in an intimate, inspiring setting.
