Congratulations to Mystery Lovers Bookshop, Oakmont., Pa., which wrote to customers: "It's our birthday this Saturday! Mystery Lovers turns 30 and we cannot thank our customers enough for making Mystery Lovers what it is today. This year has been trying for everyone, including retailers. When we temporarily closed our doors in March we did not know what would happen. However, with you all by our side, we have been able to reopen. We plan to be here another 30 years and continue to be a destination for book lovers." Owners Tara Goldberg-DeLeo and Kristy Bodnar bought the store in 2018.
As part of the celebration, the store is hosting a Zoom event with Richard Goldman, who founded the store with his late wife, Mary Alice Gorman, tomorrow, Thursday, October 29, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern. "Take a trip down memory lane," the store wrote. "Learn about the origins of Mystery Lovers and hear some fun stories from the past 30 years." Register for the free event here.
