LITERARY LOVERS, this crowdfunding reward is for you! Enjoy a set of two tickets for the February Readings & Conversations event hosted by The Cabin, our local literary nonprofit! You'll also receive a book from each author. 

If you're less familiar, A Readings & Conversations lecture is an original talk by the author on the subject of their choice. It can be about their current book, upcoming projects, past works, relevant cultural issues, and more. The talk runs for about an hour and is followed by a 20ish minute Q&A from the audience.

This reward includes two tickets to the R&C event on February 20th, 2025. Powerhouse authors Lydia Millet & Richard Powers team up to discuss fiction and nonfiction, and the effects of mankind and science on our delicate world.

Once the campaign closes, we'll reach out to confirm your shipping address (if you prefer your tickets and books mailed), or to schedule a pickup at the current Lit Room bookstore location. 

She's mine, my precious! Make Oldspeak your backdrop for your own private party.

Once open, we will coordinate with you via email to schedule your event -- events can be held on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. 4 hours max (with all events ending at 10pm) + Includes $1,000 bar credit. This cost also includes full staffing for your event and Happy Book Hour all night for your special guests.

Book lovers unite! Pick one of our favorite books and contribute to our Oldspeak campaign! Your book will come with a bookmark, and it'll be embossed with our special seal on the cover page so you'll never forget where it came from. 

Our top picks:

• On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong -- our #1 BESTSELLER at The Lit Room for 2024. We're all eagerly awaiting his next novel which debuts next summer. 
• 1984 by George Orwell -- a timely read, both a classic and a historically banned book! 
• Milk & Honey: 10th Anniversary Edition by Rupi Kaur -- she self-published on the internet, gained notoriety, and now is one of the most well known poets of our generation. This version has her personal annotations reflecting back on the work she first published 10 years ago. Also a banned book. 
• For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway -- this novel ranks at #30 on the ALA’s list of most-banned classics. Idahoans claim him as one of our own, and the Hemingway House in Ketchum, Idaho hosts an invite-only writers-in-residency program. Another fun fact: Hemingway is also known for smuggling copies of Ulysses into the United States. 
• In Light of All Darkness: Inside the Polly Klaas Kidnapping and the Search for America's Child by Kim Cross -- From one of our favorite Idaho literary friends, who happens to also be a NYT bestselling author. Kim's deep empathy and meticulous research make this true crime novel a truly moving must-read. 
• Educated by Tara Westover -- an important memoir from an Idaho local. About the value of education, and learning there's more than one way to experience the world. 
• Sip and Sensibility: An Inspired Literary Cocktail Collection -- a delightful recipe book that beckons both bibliophile and mixologists!

This isn’t your average bag; it’s a statement. Make a meaningful impact and get a bag that says, ‘I care, but I look good doing it.’ While it can be used for groceries, always use it to tote your books to and from Oldspeak (yes, we do have a used book trade-in program!).

Raise a glass—and some funds! With your contribution, you’ll get this sleek, etched beer glass that’s all class with a dash of attitude. Perfect for your favorite brew (or whatever you’re pouring), this glass makes it clear: you're here to support a cause and sip in style.

Receive a copy of four (4) of Idaho's most challenged/banned books and dig into some insightful reading, while supporting our local bookstore. Makes a great gift for 4 friends at $25 each!
