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.
