Hey good people, we’d love to send you some books! You can browse what @ljabouttown.bsky.social called “possibly the best curated bookstore in the US” on our website: eveninghousebooks.com Our goal is to hold a light up to exciting indie presses, books in translation & other excellent stories

@eveninghouse.bsky.social might be the best curated bookstore in the U.S. If you’re ever in Buffalo—it’s a must-see. Thank you @johnchrostek.com and @adamvoith.bsky.social for inviting me! Go read Boxcutters from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social and R.I.Y.L. from @littleengines.bsky.social!!!

Tonight was fucking sick. Thank you to everyone who came out, thank you to @adamvoith.bsky.social & @ljabouttown.bsky.social for coming to Evening House. Go read Recommended If You Like & Still Alive!! Catch Adam at one of his new stops. We’ve got signed copies at the shop of both of their books

Hey if you’ve had website issues today being sweet and placing an order, we’re so sorry 😞 Wordpress is giving us grief and Amanda’s been on the way back home today so it’s just been John holding down the fort today. We’ll be at this soon as we can 🤘

Good news and bad news! Good news: We’re running a hardcover sale bc we don’t like doing returns and we choose books v carefully so we know these are excellent Bad news: We had a break in this week with hundreds of dollars of items stolen and could use some help recouping the loss

BaksUNFUN NEWS:
WE HAVE HAD A BREAK-IN OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND. THE PERSON TOOK HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OF TAROT DECKS, A CUSTOMER'S SPECIAL ORDER (DRANK SOME OF OUR WINE??), BROKE SOME THINGS BEHIND THE DESK AND MORE. WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE DETAILS.
WE'RE AN EXTREMELY SMALL NEW BUSINESS, RUN BY JUST THE TWO OF US, WITH NO SAVINGS OR DEEP POCKETS. JUST A SLOW BUILD UP MADE POSSIBLE BY CUSTOMERS AND COMMUNITY OVER THE LAST YEAR AND CHANGE.
EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO STOCK ON OUR SHELVES HAS BEEN A GAMBLE, AND IT'S HARD NOT TO FEEL DISCOURAGED BY THIS, BUT WE'RE GRATEFUL MORE WASN'T TAKEN OR DAMAGED AND EVERYONE IS IN GOOD HEALTH.
IF YOU DON'T MIND A REQUEST, WE'LL MAKE THE ASK:
IF YOU CAN SHOP WITH US THIS WEEK, WE'D GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU FOR DOING SO. WE LOVE RUNNING THIS SHOP AND MAKING A SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE AND ENGAGE WITH ART AND CULTURE DOWNTOWN.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
- JOHN & AMANDA

We’ve been running our Evening Hours After Hours book club for a year now! Here’s a look at the amazing books we’ve read and what we’ve got coming down the pipeline. We try to keep most of them in stock long-term (Also, we’ve got a strange short story collection bookclub starting in September!)

Friendly reminder that you can access a very fun, varied & sexy repository of newer indie books through our website (and we’ll ship an order to you anywhere in the US) eveninghousebooks.com OR you can stop by the shop & sit on our lovely thrifted loveseat & chairs, read & drink honey orange soda
