"Cool Idea of the Day!"

Skylight Books: Hot Summer Nights, wherein the bookstore is open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays in July and August, was just named the "Cool Idea of the Day" on the industry newsletter Shelf Awareness! Here's what they had to say about us:


Cool Idea of the Day: Skylight's Hot Summer Nights

Beginning this weekend and continuing through the end of August, Skylight Books, Los Angeles, Calif., will stay open until midnight on Friday and Saturday. General manager Kerry Slattery wrote in the store's newsletter: "In the words of Steve and Justin at our store, we'll have 'free coffee, killer atmosphere, book specials, smelly boys, lovely women, music probably too loud to read to, genre-f*cking, busking, ice cream, and real talk! We'll have vibe inducing events like moody DJs, experimental films, musicians of the heart, and snacks.' Or at least some version of these will happen on different nights. So come on by if you are in the neighborhood . . . maybe after a movie next door at the Los Feliz 3 or the Vista, a late dinner at Fred 62 or Cafe Figaro, on the way to or from Ye Rustic Inn, Vermont Restaurant, the Dresden Room, Palermo Ristorante, or any other of our wonderful neighbors. See you in the moonlight. . . We'll kick off the first night (Fri 7/10) after 10pm with musical 'busking' by Arlo and Aisling."

Thanks to Shelf Awareness for the awesome blurb. We'll be putting it on the dust jacket of our hearts.

As for the rest of you, stop by one of these hot summer nights and check out the scene at Skylight. This is a limited-time offer, act now!
