Book Signing/Meet & Greet

I Have Awesome (Autism) by Jon and Becky Richey

Meet the Richey Family

Jon and Becky Richey are parents to two adult children with autism—each with vastly different needs and abilities. Their daughter Hannah is independent, social, and a passionate advocate for herself and others! Jacob, profoundly impacted by autism, stands 6’5” but functions at a 5–6-year-old level. He is joyful, kind, and full of humor.

The Richeys didn’t choose the special-needs world—it chose them. Now lifelong members of the “forever parent” community, they share a heartfelt and hopeful message in their book, Finding Joy on the Journey—a candid look at grief, resilience, and discovering unexpected joy in a life reimagined.

Come meet the Richey family for a book signing and conversation about parenting, perspective, and finding beauty in the journey

Book Hoarders “Support Group”

Book Hoarders Support Group

We are enabling, not healing! Are your stacks of unread books beginning to qualify as structural support in your home? Do you keep buying more books despite swearing “no more”? You’re in the right place.

Join us the last Monday of every month for a completely unserious support group where we do the opposite of recovery: we SWAP books. That’s right—bring the books you’re willing to part with (no judgment if you take back more than you gave) and meet your fellow book-loving enablers.

What to expect:
• Chaotic book swaps
• Bad influence energy
• Zero accountability
• New additions to your ever-growing hoard

Let’s swap stories—and books. Hoarders unite!

BookTok Trivia

BookTok Trivia Night – Round Two

You missed the first one? That’s on you. But lucky for you, we’re back — and this time, the questions are harder, the prizes are better, and the fictional men are just as morally questionable.

Think you're a BookTok genius or just really good at pretending you've read the books? Either way, you're invited to a chaotic night of trivia featuring spicy plot twists, unhinged characters, and plenty of moments that might spark a group therapy session.

Here’s what’s going down:

  • Free to play — because we know you're hoarding cash for the next collector's edition

  • Come solo or bring your book besties — teams are welcome

  • Prizes, exclusive in-store deals, and the kind of glory you can’t buy

  • Bonus rounds that just might call out your reading habits (and your fictional crushes)

No gatekeeping. No pressure. Just laughs, low-stakes chaos, and a lot of BookTok energy.

Do You Know Your Rhysand From Your Xaden?

If your brain is full of book boyfriends, morally grey men, and plot twists that made you scream at the page—this is your moment. Join us at Turn the Page Bookstore for BookTok Trivia Night, where spicy quotes, chaotic fun, and bookish banter collide. Whether you quote Fourth Wing in your sleep or just love a good villain arc, this night is for you.

Compete in teams of 2–6 (or fly solo like the brooding main character you are) as we dive into the fandom-fueled worlds of your favorite BookTok reads. Expect clever questions and exclusive in store only deals on your most beloved titles. We’ll have snacks and drinks to fuel your brain—and prizes for the top three teams who prove they’ve been paying the most attention on BookTok.

Want an edge? Come dressed as your favorite character—wings, crowns, and weapons (safe ones!) are all fair game for bonus points. The event is totally FREE to play, so gather your book besties, brush up on your fantasy lore, and prepare for a night of laughter and trivia. Let the games begin!
