      Book Launch for Party on Purpose at North Figueroa Bookshop on June 6 (Photo – cherylleutjen.com)

      Tough times, say North Figueroa Bookshop organizers, are exactly when we need to gather, and they’re inviting folks to do so in the garb of their favorite decade: Roaring 20s, 70s Disco, 40s Swing…and celebrate Party on Purpose: Your Complete Guide to Eco-Chic Entertaining this Saturday, June 6, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm.

      By Melanie Hooks

      ​Join author Cheryl Leutjen, aka the Eco-Worrier, for the book launch that of course, had to be a party. Rep your favorite era with pride. Any decade, any vibe. Costumes optional. Dancing à la your decade optional.

      The invitation is to join others with intention, and with really good snacks. Because that’s exactly what this book is about: gathering with intention, celebrating with joy, and proving that you don’t have to choose between a great party and your values.

      ​Books available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments. Probably a lava lamp. Definitely a disco ball. Party like the fate of humanity depends on it.

      ​Author Cheryl Leutjen is an environmental attorney, geologist, and author of Love Earth Now and Madness on the Brink of Eco-Apocalypse. She writes about surviving this moment — climate chaos, adulting, and whatever else tries her patience — with candor, dark humor, and stubborn hope.

      Find the link to this and other writerly/readerly events all month long at the North Fig Bookshop website here.
