We're Opening A Bookstore!

The Store Is Now Open!

When we last spoke, our renovation was wrapping up and we had no books on the shelves. Now the store is up and running! What was it like getting everything ready? Why is one of our slogans "mistakes were made"? How did the grand opening go? What have been our biggest surprises so far? What books are we recommending now? Take a listen to find out!

The News We've Been Waiting For!

We're finally able to tell you our grand opening date! (Spoiler alert: It's October 25. Come visit!) Press play to hear what we've been doing to get everything ready for you. We talk, too, about the upcoming movies and shows based on books that we're excited about, and we play a game where we each come up with the weirdest possible book pairings and then challenge the other person to figure out how to connect them. Is this game worth playing ever again? Let us know!

Updates and Book Recs

The store is almost ready! We're just waitiing (and waiting and waiting) on a new entrance before we can start putting books on the shelves. Find out our latest news, victories, and frustrations and hear about what we're reading now and what we're excited to read next.

We're Opening A Bookstore!

We (authors Eve Yohalem and Julie Sternberg) are opening a bookstore called Books & Cake in Hillsdale, New York! Renovations are underway--take a listen to hear how they're going; how we decided to take this step together; what's surprised us along the way; our unusual plan for organizing the books in the store; a few book recommendations; and more.
