Book Trip: Bakery, Burmese, & A World Famous Bookstore in your own backyard
Details
Spring into Spring with a fun day trip to Ojai with your fellow book~lovers! Spring is in bloom (almost) and so too is the desire to fly on the breeze to pastry and tea and to explore an outdoor world of books to see! Join us to visit a bakery & Burmese restaurant in Ojai that was just featured in the Feb 4th NY Times food section. Then we’re off to Bart’s Books, an outdoor bookstore in our very own backyard (well, not literally, but you get the idea) that actually is pretty darn famous, if being featured in Afar and Sunset magazines and others is any measure.
Pairs well with The Lion Women of Tehran but it’s more about gathering and having fun. Please join us even if you haven’t yet read the book.
Book selection:
The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali (I had to reschedule this book due to February babysitter availability for Valentine’s weekend :)

I couldn’t add the locations in the meetup app because it wouldn’t let me but here they are for your research. One book club member recently visited Bart’s & loved it. Date still to be determined on this one but I was thinking a day in March. I can change the time to a later start time to accommodate as well; just let me know. Guests welcome. This is a joint event with the book club but I thought it might be an idea to add one weekend day event to the social group, in case members are interested. We also have the “Read Like a President” (President Obama’s favs) in the future.
