A rogue librarian, a sentient spider plant, and an illegal spellshop in a sleepy coastal village. What could possibly go wrong?

Join us as we read The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst, a cozy cottagecore fantasy about Kiela, a librarian who flees a revolution with a stack of stolen spellbooks and ends up back on the island where she grew up. Between a nosy and very handsome neighbor who will not stop showing up, a town in desperate need, and the very real threat of death for sharing magic with commoners, Kiela is about to discover that starting over is a lot more complicated than she planned. We will move through the book across three sessions with space for discussion, reactions, and the kind of conversation that only a truly cozy read brings out.

Meeting Schedule (all sessions at 7:00 pm, RSVP required):

• Session 1: Wednesday, June 24 | Chapters 1 through end of Chapter 12

• Session 2: Wednesday, July 8 | Chapters 13 through end of Chapter 24

• Session 3: Wednesday, July 22 | Chapters 25 through end of book

Whether you’re reading it for the first time or revisiting the dungeon, come ready to talk twists, favorite moments, and how far you’d go to survive the crawl.
