Wyatt Square, the little shopping plaza just off Wyatt and EMR in Middletown (map) is having their second annual open house this Thursday, Oct 22, from 5-7pm, according to an announcement on Facebook. A post by indie local bookstore Island Books says there will be "wine, cider, and goodies all throughout the Square" as well as "fantastic bargains" and "raffles galore."

Island Books also announced they will be "offering 20% off, storewide, for these 2 hours only." Want to support local authors as well as local booksellers? Why not check out the latest by former Middletown High School teacher, Hannah Goodman, Fear of Falling.

Hey, why not stop by on your way to the PPEF Fall Showcase? Hint, hint.

Full disclosure: I like books. I really like local bookstores.
