In Conversation With

Scarlett Irwin
Scarlett (she/they) is the store manager, bookseller, and proud parent of Cooked at Booked, the store’s beloved cookbook club. When she’s not valiantly preventing the bookstore from being incinerated by unruly book dragons (a full time job, honestly), she’s summoning new pinterest boards with the power of mild inconvenience and attempting to organize chaos with lists that multiply when no one is looking. Scarlett has strong opinions about tacos and can usually be found lounging with her extremely sleepy, suspiciously dragon-esque dog, Nugget, and because she has delusionally convinced herself that the books miss her when she’s gone, she makes sure to tell them “goodnight” before locking up the store.
About the Venue

Booked
Booked is an independent bookstore located at 506 Main St. in Evanston, Illinois, that carries a diverse selection of books for children and adults. In fact, it is our favorite independent bookstore, but we are biased, because we own it. We host author events, story times, book clubs, crafting events, birthday parties, just-because parties, and more.

Booked Club for Grown-Ups
Booked Club reads contemporary, literary fiction and nonfiction from a diverse range of authors. Booked owners Abby and Betsy host Booked Club on the third Wednesday of the month (most months!) at 7:00pm at Booked. Bringing snacks and beverages to share is always encouraged but never required.

Dumpster Fire Book Club
THE HORRORS PERSIST, but so do we! Dumpster Fire Book Club welcomes adults and teens (12+) every other month to read dystopian fiction, led by Betsy! We love imagining a better world through imagining just how bleak it can get first! Email betsy@bookedevanston.com if you have any questions!

Sunday Smut Book Club
Special! Join us for the last Sunday Smut book club of the year! We'll of course trade thoughts on the book, but we will additionally share treats potluck style, and talk about our favorite reads of 2026! Bookseller Alicia hosts our Sunday Smut Book Club on the last Sunday of the month (most months!) at 3:30pm. Sunday Smut reads are the latest in romance novels with a range of subgenres, sexual and gender identities, and spice levels. Questions? Email alicia@bookedevanston.com.
