This week our booksellers’ #CurrentlyReading list defies simplification, so we’ll just let you scroll through! 🤗📚 What are y’all reading?

Scaring off the #SundayScaries with ghostly stories from @alt_myriam_gurba666 👻 How are y’all handling them?

It’s a besos kind of day 🤗 (And if you’re wondering what a beso is, it’s a sandwiched sponge cookie filled with Nutella or apricot or strawberry jam 😋)

10% of all in-store book sales this weekend (Sat & Sun) will be donated to @transequalitynow 🏳️‍⚧️🌈 (And if you want #LGBTQ+ book recommendations, our booksellers are always ready 📚)

It’s gloomy days like today that have us feeling the #wanderlust 😌 If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? 🧳

You know it’s #PrideMonth when 4/5 of our #NewReleaseTuesday features are #LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈 (Jk - we keep our #LGBTQBooks in stock year round 😉)

A little bit of #LGBTQ+ fiction, a smidgen of #SouthernGothic , and a hefty dash of Black authors make up our staff’s #CurrentlyReading this week 📚 What are y’all reading?

It’s almost here 🤩 #InTheHeights is coming this week, but next week you could be there for the #InTheHeightsBookLaunch with Lin-Manuel Miranda, Quiara Alegría Hudes, and Jeremy McCarter 🥳 Get your preorders in so you don’t miss a thing 🤗

#LateNightReads call for something fearless and maybe a little sexy, so we’re looking at @lisadtaddeo’s novel coming out this Tuesday 📚 (And the first 10 preorders from us will receive this fierce tote and copies with signed bookplates 🤗)

Don’t forget - 10% of all in-store book sales today and tomorrow will be donated to Equality NC 🌈 (And if you want #LGBTQ+ book recommendations, our booksellers are always ready 📚)

Y’all know we have Durham-based @ponysaurusbrewing on tap, right? 🍻 Come on over for a pint 🤗 #DrinkLocal

Y’all may have heard, but it’s #PrideMonth 🌈🤗 We’ll be sharing some of our favorite LGBTQIA+ authors and stories throughout the month, so keep a lookout for them 🏳️‍🌈

We’re partnering with @chapelhillgov with their #SmallTownPride festivities and donating 10% of our in-store book sales to four different #LGBTQIA+ nonprofits (one nonprofit per weekend):
6/5-6/6: @equalitync
6/12-6/13: @transequalitynow
6/19-6/20: @aclu_nationwide
6/26-6/27: UNC LGBTQ Center

It’s #NewReleaseTuesday (and the first day of #PrideMonth 🌈) and wowza do we ever have books for you 📚 Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and more all come together to give you a super diverse (and inclusive) group 🤗 Which one are you most looking forward to?

This week our #CurrentlyReading has everything from mystery to fantasy to graphic biography 📚 What are y’all reading?

Did you know we have new hours? You can see us any day until 7pm now! (And even later on Fridays and Saturdays 🤗)

Awww snap! The wonderful @karenetucker came in to sign a few copies of #Bewilderness ahead of the #VirtualBookLaunch with @sjsindu on June 1st 🤩 Have you ordered your copy yet? 🤔

Hey y’all! Just a heads-up that we will be CLOSED on Wednesday, June 2nd so our staff can have a wellness day 💕 We love y’all and want to be there for you, so we’ll be back at it on Thursday ready to help you with all your book and coffee needs!

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth , so we’re highlighting a couple books that are written for the kids (and adults) who feel alone or are trying to get a handle on their own minds 📚

Please know that no matter what you’re going through, you’re not alone and we’re here if you need us 💕

Fun fact: all our syrups are made using whole ingredients - including our Blueberry Lavender and Lavender Sea Salt syrups 🤗 (Both are also FANTASTIC in chocolate milkshakes, which are made with @mapleviewfarmicecream and @viderichocolate 😋 #LifeHack)

Y’all know it’s #NewReleaseTuesday and we’ve got a few great new novels and an awesome poetry collection to throw your way 📚 Which one are y’all most excited to read?

In this week’s #CurrentlyReading we’ve got a few books you can get straight off the shelf and a few to look forward to this year 🤗 What are y’all reading? 📚

Rumor has it this week will be super hot, but that makes it perfect #AguaFresca weather ☀️ Come on in and cool off with a fresa limón or horchata agua fresca 😋

Hey y’all! Don’t forget to order your copy and sign up for the #VirtualBookLaunch for Bewilderness on June 1st 🤗

Start off your weekend right with a Saturday pastry box 😋 With conchas, buñuelos, besos, and more, you can’t go wrong 🍽 What’s your favorite #Epilogue pastry?

Temps are going up and we’re breaking out the iced drinks! ☀️ What do y’all reach for to beat the heat?

Did you know our #frozen cocoa is made with @viderichocolate from #Raleigh ? 🍫 It can be made #vegan and with any of our #housemade syrups too 😋

Guess who is offering tickets for the #InTheHeightsBookLaunch ? 👀 (Hint: it’s us!)

The $40 ticket to the event will also include a hardcover copy of the book AND because it’s virtual and we ship all over the US, you can join in whether you’re in Chapel Hill or San Diego 🤗 (And yes - you can even get these as gifts for the Lin-Manuel Miranda fan in your life 😉) Head over to the LinkTree in our bio or click the link here for more info.

It’s #NewReleaseTuesday and we’ve got essays, short stories, and novels for you!
📚
Healthy dashes of nostalgia from @emikojeanbooks (Princess Diaries + What A Girl Wants + Crazy Rich Asians) and @johngreenwritesbooks (y’all know his other books)
📚
A modern gay gothic novel in the Hamptons makes a great summer read from @jprampage
📚
Two fantastic literary short story collections from @giantratsumatra and @ethelrohan are refreshing and powerful new additions!

A little bit of social commentary, a little bit #YA - all our staff’s #CurrentlyReading 🤗📚 What’re y’all reading this week?

Mark your calendars! 🗓 June 1st at 7pm, we’ll have two extremely talented authors in conversation - @karenetucker and @sjsindu 🤗 See you there!

(Link in bio)

Today we’re celebrating one of the booksellers who’s been with us since just about the beginning and is now officially a UNC grad 👩🏽‍🎓 We couldn’t be more proud to count her as part of the team 🤗 Congratulations, Lupe! We can’t wait to see what you do next 🎓

It’s graduation weekend, so we’re celebrating with #CarolinaBlue conchas and #UNC #Tarheel puerqitos this weekend 🎓🐏 Once again, congrats to the #ClassOf2021 - YOU DID IT 🥳

A bittersweet day. We know you have to leave but we don’t have to like it. Thank you for the moments you shared with us & for making this space so special. Congrats & know you will be missed. You will always have a home to come back to here at Epilogue. Now go out there and be the light this world needs. #goheels #graduation2021 #tarheels #unc #unc21

Another week, another #NewReleaseTuesday to celebrate 🥳 Which one of these beauties are you most excited to read? 📚

This week’s #CurrentlyReading has a lot of #latinx authors and quite a few titles to look forward to 📚 What are y’all reading?

✨EXCITING NEWS✨ We’ll be hosting the launch of @karenetucker ‘s new book Bewilderness! 🤩 Join us in June 1st for Karen and @sjsindu ‘s chat to welcome this book to stores 🤗 (And you can preorder a copy on our website!)

.

Set in rural, poverty-stricken North Carolina, this “beautiful, gritty, and piercing” novel follows two young women—best friends—as they “journey through the highs and lows of friendship, love, and addiction,” perfect for readers of Julie Buntin’s Marlena (Erika Carter, author of Lucky You).

We have quite the treat in store for y’all tomorrow! 🤗 Live music with @danielle15724 makes for the perfect #MothersDay outing - especially when paired with a @carrborocoffee latte or maybe a @ponysaurusbrewing beer 🎶 See ya there!

We’re thinking ✨artsy✨ thoughts this morning while reading about #LeonoraCarrington 🎨 What are y’all reading this morning?
