All She Wrote Books

Join All She Wrote Books on Wednesday, October 7th at 6:30pm, as we welcome author Betty Corrello to celebrate the release of her newest romance — Back for Seconds! Back for Seconds is a sexy, sensory holiday exploration of how food, sex, connection, and community can make even the darkest days shine bright with hope and love. It’s about letting yourself be seen—mess and all.

This book launch event will include a reading and conversation, an audience Q&amp;A, and a signing by Betty!

"Inclusivity" isn't just a buzzword to us. We make every effort to ensure our space and events are accessible to and for everyone. If you or someone in your party needs accommodations, please email us at <a target="_blank" href="https://mailto:info@allshewrotebooks.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">info@allshewrotebooks.com</a>.

About Back for Seconds
Two cups of chaos, a dash of generational trauma, and a pinch of Christmas magic.

June Alfiero is just trying to survive her first Christmas post-divorce. If growing up the only daughter of Evergreen’s boardwalk pizza king taught her anything, it’s how to eat or be eaten.

She’s done indulging family drama; she refuses to play games with her ex; and she definitely will not be falling for the viral vegan homecook&nbsp;she accidentally dragged on TikTok after one too many margaritas.&nbsp;

But when June comes face-to-face with the Adonis himself, Joey Pagano is nothing like his digital footprint. He’s patient. Earnest. Maddeningly kind. And navigating his own heartbreak.

The more time they spend together, sharing home-cooked meals and soft confessions,—the more June’s hardened exterior begins to melt.&nbsp;

Suddenly, her small Jersey Shore town is serving up more than bittersweet nostalgia: it’s late-night kitchen experiments, flirty bickering, shared secrets, and the kind of steady companionship June had given up on. Joey doesn’t shy away from her mess—he pulls up a chair, pours a glass of wine, and asks for seconds.

With every boardwalk stroll and cozy, flour-dusted moment, June feels something inside her unclench. Maybe healing doesn’t have to be quiet. Maybe it can be loud, joyful, and a little chaotic—just like Evergreen at Christmas.

But bearing her soul to Joey means risking the kind of heartbreak she’s barely recovered from.

Will June take a chance on the delicious magic growing between them—or close the door before Joey can knock again?

The Arlington Center

Join Sophie for a guided, holistic and poetic experience that helps participants release tension, reconnect with themselves and share the collective spirit through yoga, rhythm, sound, and symbolic gestures. Starting with gentle warm-ups and stretching, we’ll wind through easy movements and repetition, flowing together through the magic of rhythm and group energy. Live drumming grounds the journey, connecting everyone to the heartbeat of the Earth. Rooted in community and seasonal cycles, this practice welcomes all emotions and celebrates the joy of being fully alive. No dance experience is needed ~ come as you are and leave rejuvenated! You’re invited to dress comfortably ~ you can dance barefoot, or wear non-slip socks or sneakers. A bottle of water and the willingness to let go and connect to the beat!

RHYTHM REVIVAL! Follow the Drum with Sophie Bagot-Leurent

For the first time ever, Grammy Award-winning bassist Oteil Burbridge takes the stage with Vermont-based groove trio LaMP for a night of jam-rooted, improvisational rock — a one-night-only pairing you won't see anywhere else, presented by Fiddlehead Brewing Company. Burbridge is a founding member of Dead &amp; Company and a celebrated veteran of the Allman Brothers Band and Aquarium Rescue Unit; LaMP (Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger, Ray Paczkowski) is known for their work with Trey Anastasio Band and Joe Russo's Almost Dead.
Come experience the kind of spontaneous, in-the-moment playing these musicians are known for, live at Somerville Theatre on Friday, October 9, 2026, closing out the four-city tour.
Proceeds support Make-A-Wish, helping grant wishes for children facing critical illness across the Northeast.
