We aren’t actually doing anything for Stephen King’s birthday*, but the template had an extra space.

Hi. I’ve been terrible about updating this space lately because WordPress wasn’t letting me upload new images, and it wasn’t saving new posts. I finally got it working again, but in the process I deactivated and reactivated the theme, which threw off all my settings. This is why it says “empty sidebar” in the right panel. I’ll fix it later.
Thanks to Gina and to Baron for hosting recent meetups. If you’d like to host something, please reach out!
We love indie bookstores and we love the literature of Hawaii, so this field trip organized by Gina is a great idea. More field trips to more bookstores, please! Send me your ideas, especially if you’d like to host one!
Thank you for reading with us. It’s been a blast!
Please read all of this! There’s unexpected info at the end.
Thursday at Kapiolani Park!
Our first audiobook walk.
Meet at the bandstand (front and center) at 6 for a voluntary group photo. We’ll start walking at 6:15 and go to 7:15. Then we’ll head to @barefootbeachcafe for food, drinks, and a hang. Or just a hang!
IF THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON AT THE BANDSTAND, MEET US BACK AND CENTER! BEHIND THE LAST ROW OF SEATS!
We’ll start together, but please walk at your own pace for your own duration. You can peel off at any time and meet us back at the bandstand or at Barefoot Cafe.
PLEASE NOTE (thanks, Aja!). Thursday is Juneteenth, and there will be activities in the park (close to Kaimana Beach, probably) at at the Shell.
We don’t know how crowded the park will be or how easy it will be to find parking, but let’s embrace the spirit of the day and maintain celebratory attitudes! If parking at the park is rough, try the zoo or the area around Monsarrat Ave. Remember, there are two lots on the Diamond Head side, near the rec building (if that’s what it is). Street parking on Kapahulu in front of the zoo is free beginning at 6.
Text Mitchell at 830-255-7423 (830 ALL RICE) for any reason, whenever.
Let me know if you need help getting audiobooks on your phone. There are some free options, but you have to plan ahead!
Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, born on this day in 1811.
It’s the second-best month of the year, and we have stuff going on.
June reads!
Message Mitchell at 830-255-7423 if you have questions, if you get lost, if you want company to or from your car or bus stop, if you’d like a ride home, of if you just want a silly story and word of encouragement.
Thursday June 12: our regular monthly meetup at Kahala Mall. Free parking, lots of food and drink options but no pressure to spend money. Meet at big round table in front of Whole Foods Market.

Bring a book or two for the book exchange table!
