GPL Readers Weekend: Cozy Edition
November 1-2, 2025
Are you an avid reader? Do you make lists of books to read from Tik Tok videos? Or are you maybe a hopeless romantic that loves a bit of swoon worthy storytelling? Is curling up with a good book and a cup of tea your favorite way to spend an afternoon? Do you enjoy all things cozy? GPL is building a weekend JUST for you - Sarah Hogle and Jenn McKinlay are visiting GPL this November for an awesome 2-day event.
