We're going to blame the slight delay of this month's email on an overload of Halloween candy, and we'll allow ourselves a bit of leeway since November is still young! However, there is lots going on at The Galaxy Bookshop this month, so without further ado, we present our November Newsletter!

Busy Person's Book Club
Tuesday, November 14th, 7 p.m.
|
This is the book club for people who love to read and talk about books but cringe at the thought of “assigned” reading. On the second Tuesday of each month, we’ll meet to talk about books that we’ve already read, usually within a predetermined genre. This month, it’s Biography and Memoir.
You are also welcome to talk about books outside of this category, but this will be the main focus of our conversation. Refreshments served, and all are welcome!

Death Cafe
Thursday, November 16th,
6:30 p.m.
|
Eat cake. Discuss death. Leave feeling ALIVE!
This is not a grief support group or end-of-life planning. The objective of the Death Cafe is “‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.”
Learn more at
deathcafe.com, and join us for a lively discussion in Hardwick!
Facilitated by Anne-Marie Keppel.

Week of Gratitude
November 19-25
|
Each year during Thanksgiving week we like to celebrate a Week of Gratitude. We wouldn't be here without the support of you, our customers, so Thank You! During our Week of Gratitude, we'll be raffling off a book-ish goody bag each day leading up to Small Business Saturday (read more about that below).
This year, we're adding a special raffle that you can enter by filling out a Galaxy Wish List. We will help you let your friends and family know which books you are really hoping to receive this year!
