Novelette-1524.jpg

Every month in 2025, the owners of East Nashville bookshop Novelette have come up with a theme, and then I buy a book under that theme — and then they give me pizza coupons for taking tests on the books. I’m just kidding about that last part, but the book membership has a pretty similar vibe to the Accelerated Reader program of my youth. Folks buy a book once a month under whatever off-the-wall theme the owners come up with, and at the end of the year there will be fun prizes for participating. But to be real, it’s just a real fun way to indulge my extreme book-buying habits while chatting with the funniest and coolest bookstore owners in town.
