You Remind Me of a Romance… a Classic Screwball Book Club (#3)
Saturday, March 25, 2023 ~ 7:00pm CT/8pm ET/5pm PT
Virtual Event at Love’s Sweet Arrow (Chicago)
We’re back with another installment of You Remind Me of a Romance at Love’s Sweet Arrow in Chicago!
This time I’ll be joined by special guests Jen DeLuca and Emma Barry to talk all things pirate! We’ll be focusing on the screwball musical The Pirate — starring Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, and Gene’s super short shorts — and why pirates are always so much more appealing when they’re fictional… Hope you can join us for this free event! (And as always, it’ll be recorded so you can catch it on the store’s YouTube page later if you miss the live version.)
RSVP for a reminder HERE.

Virtual Event at Love’s Sweet Arrow (Chicago)
I’m thrilled to be back for another installment of You Remind Me of a Romance with Love’s Sweet Arrow in Chicago!
Join me & special guests Eva Leigh & Maureen Lee Lenker for a fun chat about the classic road-trip screwball It Happened One Night! Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, hitchhiking shenanigans, and a lack of undershirts make for a satisfying on-the-road romance. We’ll discuss what we love about this trope, and give you lots of recommendations for your TBR pile!
