Get ready for a late-night literary celebration at Bliss Books & Wine as we welcome the highly anticipated release of Score by Kennedy Ryan!

Join us on Monday, May 18 for an exclusive Midnight Release Party as we count down to the official launch. Doors open at 11:00 PM, giving you time to mix, mingle, and soak in the excitement with fellow readers before the clock strikes twelve.

At midnight, pick up your pre-ordered copy, or be among the first to get your hands on Score the moment it officially releases. Expect great vibes, bookish energy, and a celebration worthy of one of the year’s most anticipated reads.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Kennedy Ryan or ready to dive into something new, this is a night you won’t want to miss.

There's still time to pre-order a special Indie bookstore/Harlem edition of Score.  This event is free to attend, but if you would like to secure a SIGNED paperback copy, purchase a ticket here.

Get ready to travel the world—one glass at a time.

Join us for Sip Around the World, a dynamic 6-week wine tasting series inspired by the excitement and friendly competition of world soccer. Each week, we’ll spotlight two renowned wine regions from across the globe as they go head-to-head in a flavorful showdown.

Guests will enjoy curated tastings from each region, guided by knowledgeable wine experts who will share insights on flavor profiles, winemaking traditions, and regional characteristics. Then, it’s your turn to weigh in; cast your vote and help decide which region advances to the next round.

From bold reds to crisp whites, every week brings a new pairing, a new perspective, and a new opportunity to discover your next favorite wine.

The Competition Lineup:

Week 1: Bordeaux vs. Mendoza (May 21)

Week 2: Tuscany vs. Colchagua Valley (May 28)

Week 3: Rioja vs. Napa Valley (June 4)

Week 4: Douro vs. Western Cape (June 11)

Week 5: Semifinals (June 18)

Week 6: Finals — Crown the Bliss Champion (June 25)

Whether you're a seasoned wine lover or simply curious to explore, this interactive series is designed to be fun, educational, and a little competitive.

Reserve your spot each week to follow the journey, and taste your way to the top!

Join us for a structured community gathering designed to foster intentional connection, collaboration, and support.

The Reciprocity Circle is not a traditional networking event; it’s a space where women show up with clarity and leave with connection.

Each attendee will:

• Introduce herself to the room

• Share two specific needs (personal or professional)

• Offer one skill, resource, or area of support she can give

Participants will write their asks on a Reciprocity Card, which will be pinned to a shared board. Those who can assist will place their business card or a note directly onto the card, creating a visible, interactive ecosystem of support.

This gathering is designed to be:

Collaborative, not competitive

Structured, not chaotic

Intentional, not transactional

A small ticket fee helps us hold the space intentionally and ensure committed attendance. A glass of wine or a non-alcoholic drink is included.

Spots are limited to maintain an intimate and meaningful experience.

Come with a need. Leave with support.

Join us on JUNE 3RD at 7:00 PM CT for our next hybrid Wines & Spines Wine Down Wednesday event.
