Book We're Discussing: The Second Death of Locke by VL Bovalino

Join Montgomery & Taggert Bookshop at the Chester Museum at the Mill for a special author event with Emily Sullivan and Lindsay Lovise on Thursday, 4/30 at 5:30 pm. The authors will engage in conversation inspired by their newest releases, A Murder in Marylebone, and Never Spar with a Viscount, before answering questions and signing books.

📚 This event is presented in collaboration with the Chester Historical Society and the Chester Library.

🎟 Registration is requested for this free event for adults.

Save the date for Chester First Friday in May to Sip & Shop for a cause at Montgomery & Taggert Bookshop! Enjoy an evening of extra shopping hours and a complimentary glass of wine while you browse books and gifts. 10% of all bookshop sales on Friday, 5/1/26 will be donated to Pibbles & More Animal Rescue.

🐾 Pibbles & More Animal Rescue has a mission to reduce pet overpopulation—particularly for pit bulls—through spay/neuter intervention. The organization provides education about responsible pet ownership, emphasizing adoption over purchasing, and rescues dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens from high-kill shelters and dangerous situations. They also help rescued animals find loving forever homes across the tri-state and New England area, including NY, NJ, PA, CT, ME, and VT.

🚘 Thank you to Fuel To Inspire for sponsoring this month's fundraiser event!
