Bookswap 2.0 with Val Brelinski
Join us for Bookswap 2.0 with Val Brelinski on July 28th at 7PM!
Val Brelinski's strange and wonderful debut, The Girl Who Slept with God, tells the story of Grace, 17, who returns from a service mission in Mexico believing that she has been impregnated by God. Her deeply Evangelical Christian family moves Grace and her younger sister to an isolated home at the edge of town. Once on her own, Grace has to learn to deal with life the way we all do: the hard way.
Meet Val, celebrate the paperback release of this brave and moving novel, and join us for a new iteration of an old favorite event.
Bring a book about an exile.

BOOKSWAP 2.0: A Note about Format:
Booksmith's Bookswap is back with a few tweaks. In order to make Bookswap more affordable, more accessible, and more social, we've changed a few things:
First, we dropped the price to $10. That gets you admission, an open bar, snacks, galleys to take home, 20% off whatever you buy that night, and a whole mess of new titles on your To-Read List.
Second, the time. Going forward, we'll start at 7 and wrap about 9 (round times will be reduced by a few minutes each), since some people had trouble getting here by 6:30 (the old start time).
Finally, Bookswap will now happen more often, on the Third Thursday of every month.
Everything else will be just how you left it. Bring a book you love that loosely fits the theme (or doesn't! no pressure), we'll sit you in small groups, you'll chat about books, and at the end, we have a big, rowdy, white elephant swap. It's a No Homework Bookclub.
Tickets: $10, includes open bar for 21+.
