The day is here! Emily Henry fans rejoice! We'll be celebrating the release of GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL LIFE with Jeni's ice cream, bevs, trivia, and some truly elite swag. Publishers Weekly, in its starred review, has this to say: "What begins as a charming if standard rom-com evolves into a hauntingly beautiful meditation on what makes a life well lived in the latest showstopper from Henry...This is a stunner." RSVP to join us!

Join TAYA this Spring for the Come Into The Light Tour, a transformative worship experience featuring legacy favorites like \\\"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)\\\" and \\\"Touch The Sky\\\", as well as new anthems from her upcoming record such as \\\"Come Into The Light\\\", \\\"Worship!\\\" and \\\"Gonna Be Good\\\".

“This tour is something I felt God drop in my heart over 2 years ago to do here in the United States, but for different reasons, it never eventuated…until now. I believe God’s timing and His alignment is perfect — and without either, I wouldn’t be walking into these nights with the stories and songs I now am.\\\"

Each night will be an invitation to pause and lay your life before God — every good, messy, broken, and sweet piece — and allow Him to have it all. You won’t want to miss these powerful nights of surrender in the Presence of Jesus, where we can Come Into The Light together and rediscover that He truly is everything He promised to be.

It's our favorite day of the year! An all-day celebration of independent bookstores (especially, ahem, THIS independent bookstore!) and the community we love so well (that's YOU!). Story Time at 10:30 will feature special guest Kate Willamson of Moxi Homewood, plus coffee and treats. We'll be offering exclusive deals throughout the day, the vibe will be festive, and happy hour will be from 5-6pm. Watch this space for more info!

We are kicking off Indie Bookstore Day with a special guest for story time, Kate Williamson, Head of School for Moxi Homewood! Kate is no stranger to the green rug, having been a guest storyteller at TYB during her time as librarian at I3. She'll read a wonderful story, and then lead kids and their families in a craft. She'll also be available to chat with families about the many offerings at Moxi, and bonus: she's bringing coffee for all the grownups! As always, story time is free, but please RSVP to help us plan for crafts and coffee. Kate is the Head of School at Moxi, a mom-founded, parent-led childcare center in Birmingham, Alabama. She is passionate about fostering a love of learning through joyful, play-based experiences that spark curiosity and growth. Moxi is redefining childcare with flexible, high-quality early education, co-working spaces, and wellness amenities—creating a supportive community where modern families can thrive.

We are so excited to welcome Birmimgham native Emily Carpenter for a homecoming event to celebrate her highly anticipated novel, already in development at AMC as a TV series! With echoes of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" and Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, Gothictown tells the tale of a restauranteur lured by pandemic-era incentives to move to a seemingly idyllic small town in Georgia, only to find herself trapped in the harrowing confines of a dark legacy. Lovers of thrillers, suspense, and Southern fiction: you don't want to miss this! This event is free, but please RSVP here. Emily Carpenter is a bestselling author of suspense novels including Burying the Honeysuckle Girls, The Weight of Lies and Gothictown. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, she graduated from Auburn University and worked in New York City as an actor, producer, screenwriter, and behind-the-scenes assistant for the CBS shows As the World Turns and Guiding Light before returning to her southern roots. She now lives with her family outside Atlanta, Georgia.

The time has come for us, as ardent lovers of literature, to read Stoner by John Williams, together. And let's read it with one big question in mind: does it deserve its widely-held status as a "perfect" novel? OK fine, another question: what is this book's deal? If you've read it before, re-read it with us, or just come join the fun with your mind already made up. This earnest review in the Yale Daily News, written by a student in 2024, is one confirmation that Stoner continues to claim minds and hearts, that a quiet campus novel about a lover of literature can still have a place in our loud, fast world. It's high time for TYB to weigh in! Free as always, and all are welcome!
