Description

September is the official start of spooky season (at least for us in our hearts) and that means ONE THING: it's time for all the spooky, witchy, and/or cozy books!!! We've got some help getting into the spirit this year (pun intended), because Aislinn Brophy and Julian Winters are coming to Little Shop to tell us all about Aislinn's magical new book, How to Succeed in Witchcraft!!! This evening is going to be filled with thoughtful conversation, pointy hats, witches brew punch, and of course fabulous books, so don't miss out on this fun-filled event! Tickets: Admission: $0 That's right, this event is free! However, you still need to "purchase" a book for every person in your group (ex: a family of four needs four tickets)! Pre-order a copy of How to Succeed in Witchcraft: $18.99 About the book: Shay Johnson has all the makings of a successful witch. As a junior at T.K. Anderson Magical Magnet School, she’s determined to win the Brockton Scholarship—her ticket into the university of her dreams. Her competition? Ana freaking Álvarez. The key to victory? Impressing Mr. B, drama teacher and head of the scholarship committee. When Mr. B asks Shay to star in this year’s aggressively inclusive musical, she warily agrees, even though she’ll have to put up with Ana playing the other lead. But in rehearsals, Shay realizes Ana is . . . not the despicable witch she’d thought. Perhaps she could be a friend—or more. And Shay could use someone in her corner once she becomes the target of Mr. B’s unwanted attention. When Shay learns she’s not the first witch to experience his inappropriate behavior, she must decide if she’ll come forward. But how can she speak out when her future’s on the line? About the author: Aislinn Brophy (she/they) is an actor, writer, and arts administrator based in the Atlanta area. She was born and raised in South Florida, but made her way up to the frigid northeast for college. Their hobbies include pawning off their baking on anybody nearby, doing funny voices, and dismantling the patriarchy. Aislinn has a degree in Theater, Dance & Media, and her experiences as a performer consistently wiggle their way into her writing. In all aspects of her work as an artist, she is passionate about exploring identity and social justice issues. Their debut YA novel, How To Succeed in Witchcraft, will be published fall 2022, with a second untitled novel to follow.
