📚 The Bookshop Read-A-Thon 📚
Presented by The Story Emporium & Bookshop in association with Story Sirens Studio and The Placeless Blonde.
Help bring a dream to life—one page at a time!
Ash O’Rourke (aka Wheezy)—host of That Pretentious Book Club, The Scripturient Society, and founder of Story Sirens Studio—is launching an independent bookstore and creative community space in Hutto, TX: The Story Emporium & Bookshop (SE&B).
To support the launch, we’re hosting The Bookshop Read-A-Thon, a virtual fundraiser for readers who believe stories can change the world and independent bookstores are a haven for creative inspiration.
How It Works

📚 Read as many books as you can
