CAMP BANTAM 2026 🏕️📚

Thank you @bantambooks for hosting us for a weekend of reading, crafting, book clubbing, and s’mores-ing!!! Such a lovely, welcoming group of campers and the BEST bookish memories to take home ❤️ (plus… you know… all the books)

And then there were two 👯‍♂️

If you’re familiar with Midslumber in any capacity, it's safe to assume you’ve likely heard of or interacted with Madison at some point. Madison is the genius behind both of our bookclubs! But, she's also been involved and cheering on Midslumber since day one (literally)!

While she’ll continue her role as book club leader, I’m so excited and grateful that I get to bring her on in a more official capacity as our Event Planner/Coordinator!

One of my biggest limitations thus far as a previously one-person operation has been the fact that I only have two hands! I know so many of you have requested that Midslumber host more author events, screenings, community focused activities, and so much more. Now, we can!

This is a really exciting (and honestly kind of surreal) milestone for Midslumber. But, Madison understands what I’ve been trying to build here and already cares so deeply about our community. I really can’t think of anyone I’d trust more to help!

While she’s been haunting the place this whole time, please help me give her the warmest of welcomes anyways! Prepare yourselves…we already have SO many ideas 😈
