Book Clubs That Don’t Feel Like Homework

We host book clubs the Judging By The Cover way: low-pressure, high-vibes, and full of juicy conversation.

Each month, we dive into fantasy, thriller, and horror picks—with a bonus seasonal summer mood-read that’s all about vibes over plot twists. Whether you’re here for the witches, the whodunits, or the women taking revenge (or falling in love), there’s a seat for you.

Expect thoughtfully chosen titles, themed snacks, drinks, and a room full of readers who get it. Newcomers welcome, always.

Join us every other Saturday morning for a gentle walk through the neighborhood—just you, your audiobook, and a few fellow book lovers. We’ll meet in front of the store at 9am, press play together, and take a 30–45 minute stroll.

No cost, no pressure—just fresh air, good company, and a story in your ears.

Heartwood
A woman disappears on the Appalachian Trail in this character-driven mystery that blends suspense with a strong sense of place. Quiet, immersive, and perfect for readers who like something a little more layered.

And Now, Back to You
A second-chance romance full of complicated feelings, missed timing, and the kind of chemistry that doesn’t go away. Emotional, swoony, and very easy to get pulled into.

Conform
A thought-provoking sci-fi that explores control, identity, and what it means to belong. A great pick for readers who like big ideas and discussions that go beyond the page.

Don’t Let the Forest In
An eerie, atmospheric story where something feels off from the very beginning. Haunting, unsettling, and the kind of book that lingers after you finish.

Lost Girls of Hollow Lake
A dark, mysterious story filled with secrets, shifting perspectives, and questions that keep you guessing. Perfect for readers who love a little tension and intrigue.

Ages 14-17yo.
Parent supervision optional.

Little Blue Truck’s Springtime
A sweet, interactive spring story perfect for little readers. We’ll enjoy a read-aloud together followed by a simple, fun craft.

Book purchase optional; pre-read not required.
Ages 3-6yo.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.

I, Medusa
A bold, myth-inspired story that reimagines Medusa’s voice with power and depth. Fierce, emotional, and a fresh take on a familiar legend.

She’s Not Sorry
A twisty, fast-paced thriller where nothing is quite what it seems. Expect theories, strong opinions, and plenty to talk about.

The Night We Met
If you like romance that actually makes you feel something (and maybe spiral a little), Abby Jimenez always delivers.

Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter
Cozy, a little magical, and very "I just want to vibe and read something cute." There are cats. There's mystery. It's a good time.

The Day the Crayons Quit
A sweet, interactive spring story perfect for little readers. We’ll enjoy a read-aloud together followed by a simple, fun craft.

Book purchase optional; pre-read not required.
Ages 3-6yo.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Project Hail Mary
Even if you don't read sci-fi... you'll like this. It's fast, a little chaotic, and weirdly emotional. 

Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng
Unsettling in a very "this is going to sit with me" kind of way. Not just scary, there's a lot going on here.

The Hunger Games
If you somehow missed this one, now's your chance. It's intense, addictive, and you'll have a LOT to say.

Ages 14-17yo.
Parent supervision optional.

Metal Slinger
A little darker, a little gritty, and easy to get pulled into. Good if you want something with edge.

The Better Mother
Very "who do you trust?" energy. Messy, tense, and definitely one you'll want to talk through after.
