For 14 local book lovers, Sept. 25 was an evening of glitter, crafts and fantasy as South Surrey\u2019s Grandview Corners Indigo hosted a night dedicated to all things Romantasy. <\/p>\n
The bookstore hosted its Romantasy Night<\/a>, inviting readers to celebrate the popular blend of romance and fantasy through crafts, trivia and a little book bling. <\/p>\n The event was first announced on social media that this was an opportunity for local readers to get creative with their favourite books while connecting with others who share a love for the genre. <\/p>\n Guests could bedazzle a book, create their own bookmarks and put their Romantasy knowledge to the test during a themed trivia session. <\/p>\n According to Sonia Dhungana, the customer experience leader at Grandview Corners Indigo, the event had 14 eager attendees. <\/p>\n Dhungana shared that she hosted the evening alongside colleagues Tara Bevan and Tara Cayla. <\/p>\n Cayla, who was said to also enjoy crafts, was in charge of guiding guests through the book bedazzling and bookmark-making activities, while Bevan hosted the trivia session.<\/p>\n The trio even wore Romantasy-themed masks to keep with the evening\u2019s theme.<\/p>\n Dhungana shared that upon arrival, guests were taken to the event area, where they could immediately get started on the evening activities. <\/p>\n She said some jumped right into bedazzling their books, while others started making bookmarks in preparation for others to arrive. <\/p>\n Once everyone was there, Dhungana said the group moved on to the Romantasy trivia game that the Indigo team prepared for the evening. <\/p>\n \u201cEvery guest really enjoyed the trivia and they were very engaged,\u201d Dhungana shared after the event. <\/p>\n Dhungana said there were three prizes prepared for the trivia winners, as well as a prize for the best Romantasy-themed outfit. <\/p>\n Since dressing up was optional and Dhungana explained no guests arrived in costume, the team pivoted and instead awarded the prize to a fourth trivia winner. <\/p>\n Dhungana also shared that during the book bedazzling portion of the evening one book was not enough for one guest and therefore they chose to bedazzle two books instead. <\/p>\n \u201cThe event went really well,\u201d said Dhungana. <\/p>\n She explained that the guests were all very appreciative and lovely through the evening, adding that it was a pleasure for the team to host the event. <\/p>\n Dhungana shared that the team would love to host future events in their store and even had several guests asking when the next event would be. <\/p>\n To keep updated on future events or other happenings at the Grandview Corners Indigo find them on both social media at indigograndviewcorners<\/a>.<\/p>\n
