SUMMARY:Alicia Ross
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 7th\n2pm CT – Center Stage \n \nAlicia Ross is a bookseller at Booked\, Evanston’s cozy independent bookstore! A Northwestern alum\, but originally from the south\, she was sucked in by the cuteness of Evanston and the clout of telling out-of-towners she lives in Chicago (they can’t prove otherwise). Alicia hosts Sunday Smut\, the adult romance book club\, and is pushing very hard for more horror romance\, mass market paperbacks\, and super-hot consent scenes. When she’s not at the bookstore\, you may find her working in the marketing department of one flightless bird’s arbitrary publishing house or dabbling in zany internet content.
