Books-n-Bars

We are getting ready for a visit from Mr. Jamie Ford, who will be at the Crested Butte Library on Thursday, February 8, reading from his latest novel, Love and Other Consolation Prizes.

Our book of the month is Love and Other Consolation Prizes by Jamie Ford.

From the bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet comes a powerful novel, inspired by a true story, about a boy whose life is transformed at Seattle’s epic 1909 World’s Fair.

Against a rich backdrop of post-Victorian vice, suffrage, and celebration, Love and Other Consolations is an enchanting tale about innocence and devotion–in a world where everything, and everyone, is for sale.

Titles are available for check out at the library, online via OverDrive and for purchase at Townie Books.

We’ll convene at 5:30 p.m. at The Last Steep 208 Elk Ave. in Crested Butte.
