Join Bookshop Santa Cruz’s frontlist book buyer Melinda Powers and Events Coordinator Julia Sinn for an evening of books, beers*, and…well, what more could you want? Bookshop Santa Cruz’s second annual Winter Reading Program offers rewards for your reading: from December through March, read any 3 books from our 8 recommended titles and receive a $5 gift card to Bookshop Santa Cruz, a certificate for 1 cupcake from Buttercup Cakes, and a voucher for a free “Doonster Flight” from Bonny Doon Vineyard tasting room*!

Come for the short staff reviews of each of your 8 options, and stay to chat with other readers while you sip Discretion’s delicious locally-brewed beer or non-alcoholic seasonal refresher. You might even find a book group! Big thanks to our program sponsor and our host for their generosity and support. Look for another Winter Reading party at the end of March to wrap it all up!
