🔮 OCTOBER JOY SPELL — DAY 23/31
✨ THE COVEN GATHERS ✨

Some people have wine nights. Some have dinner parties.

We gather around books and collectively lose our damn minds over fictional people. 😂📚🖤

Tonight, the coven gathers at Hardcovers for book club. We're discussing Pink Ink, with on-theme snacks, drinks, and celebrating some birthdays. Naturally, we’ll stay on topic for approximately seven minutes.

Because book club isn’t just about the book. It’s the dramatic gasps, unhinged theories, questionable character decisions, loud laughter, unexpected tangents, and “WAIT. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS.”

It’s having a place where your enthusiasm isn’t too much, your weirdness isn’t weird, and your love for fictional characters’ terrible choices is met with enthusiastic follow-up questions. 😂
In a world asking us to be productive, polished, and available all at once, there’s something magical about making space for books, friendship, laughter, and community.

So here’s your reminder, witches:

Joy isn’t always a grand adventure. Sometimes it’s a room full of women, a good book, and the kind of laughter that makes your cheeks hurt.
Protect those nights.
Make room for your people.
Gather your coven.
And bring the book receipts. 🔮📖

✨ Your turn, witch. What's your favorite part of book club: the discussion, snacks, gossip, or feral tangents? Be honest. The coven is mostly judgment-free. 😂🖤

Absolutely loved visiting @hardcoverswa yesterday with @thedarkspinstress! Seriously if you haven't visited them yet, what are you doing?

I'm a sucker for sprayed edges so I had to pick up some of their pretty books and of course some signed copies as well!

Did I need more bat and book themed items? Yes. Yes I did. All the clothes are so soft and comfy. I've lived in the bat sweater today while running errands and it's super cozy.

Final pic is my bookcase guardian. Doesn't everyone want giant spider guarding your bookcase?

My sweet friend sent me a blind date with a book from KY. I was so surprised. It was Joss Richard’s book “Let’s Kiss and Tell” I’ve been wanting to read it since I met her at a book event. Was kicking myself for not buying it then. Thank goodness I got a book plate signed. ❤️

FIRST LINES FRIDAY

**Thanks to PRH Audio for the free audiobook**

‘First dates are inherently terrifying….’

Doomsdate was my second book from Laura Piper Lee in the last couple of months and I have to say she is fast becoming a favorite romcom author. With the perfect blend of action, comedy and romance, this book is perfect anytime, but especially for the fall/winter months.

I’ll be the first to admit that I did not see myself having the good time I did with this story. An apocalypse romance? Not really on my bingo card. But I loved how it turned into a road trip romance that was filled with action, zombies and two people being vulnerable with one another to help them achieve what they were looking for. Everett and Maisie are wonderful and balance each other out.

This book may be unhinged and outlandish, but it is 100% sexy, humorous and enjoyable. Especially listening to the audiobook narrated by Hathaway Lee and P.G. Hammock. They brought the humor and chemistry alive while giving us some exciting action scenes that kept me on the edge of my seat. I was laughing out loud at some crazy antics (who knew you could fight off zombies with a hard on 😜) and found myself falling not only for the MCs but also a few surprising supporting characters. Combining the zombie apocalypse with these two very opposite characters and their side quests allowed for some chemistry to simmer and soon we have an MMC that is down bad for the badass FMC doomsday prepper.

Overall, Doomsdate is a fun read/listen that is perfect for the season!

Q: what is a book you’ve read recently that surprised you?
