Deets: Calling all Mount Vernon Triangle bookworms! Cantata, Quadrangle and The Wilkes Company’s newest 275-unit residential building in Mount Vernon Triangle is teaming up with Busboys and Poets for conversation and cocktails at The Next Chapter Book Club. 

Between Wednesday, July 26, and Thursday, July 27 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM, booklovers can stop by Cantata to pick up a free copy of acclaimed author Akwaeke Emezi’s You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty, which has been featured in multiple best seller and must-read book lists, including The Washington Post, New York Times, Essence, Harper's Bazaar, Refinery29 and more. 

Following the book pickup, Cantata will host a gathering on Thursday, August 17 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the stunning Cantata rooftop for an evening of drinks, dessert, moderated conversation, and Q&A with Busboys and Poets. 

Hint for the Average Socialite: This event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required, but visitors are encouraged to RSVP via the link below. 

Guests who pick up a free book in July will be automatically entered to win a beach read beach bag, full of everything you’ll need for your next beach day, including a beach bag, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, and $100 Busboys and Poets gift certificate towards their next book purchase.
