We know this is a sort of last-minute promotion, but this graphic novel has been getting some amazing buzz and is beautifully illustrated. We just got copies into the store too! Feel free to swing by and take a look at the book, as well as pick up tickets to the event tonight!

All because we love you for subscribing to our mailing list.

It’s platonic love though, so don’t go getting any ideas.
