October Book Lovers Lunch
Lavendou Bistro, 19009 Preston Rd., Suite 200, Dallas, TX, USOctober is here, and we’re ready for good books, good food, and hopefully some sweater weather! Join fellow readers on Saturday, October 10th, for a relaxed luncheon at Lavendou Bistro Provençal, where we’ll escape to the French countryside for an afternoon of delicious food and lively book conversation. This month, author Meg Napier will join us for lunch, bringing a little romantic suspense and paranormal intrigue to the table! Come share what you’ve been reading, add a few new titles to your TBR, and spend time with people who love books as much as you do.
About Meg Napier
Meg's friends during her high school years all expected her romance novels to hit the shelves decades ago, but she foolishly allowed "serious pursuits" to get in her way. Now that her beloved children can feed, clothe, and most importantly, support themselves, she's free to turn her attention to her first passion - putting words to paper that capture your attention and make your heart sing in quiet joy. Her stories tell most frequently of second chances--in life, love, and sometimes even at rediscovering a soul-mate from a previous life. Learn more.3 attendees

Chelsea Conradt (she/her) writes twisty speculative thrillers. Her books are packed with both murder and kindness because we can be more than one thing. When not writing stories that make you question what’s real, she is likely watching a baking show or a true-crime documentary. She is nothing if not on brand. Chelsea lives in Texas with her husband, son, and two big dogs.2 attendees
