BOOK CLUB
We are very excited to host our first book club on Thursday November 14, 2024, from 6pm-7pm.
Our book for this month is “The Woodsmoke Women's Book of Spells”
by Rachel Greenlaw.
If you want to join, we have a sign-up sheet in our store on the round table near our green couch. We will also be selling the chosen book of the month. We only have a limited number of spots so if you’re interested, sign up! We look forward to seeing you there!
SYNOPSIS OF BOOK OF THE MONTH
There is an old tale woven through the mountain town of Woodsmoke about a stranger who appears as the first snow falls in winter, who will disappear without a trace as the frost thaws in spring, leaving a broken heart behind.
Carrie Morgan ran from Woodsmoke ten years ago, and the decision has haunted her ever since. Spending a decade painting and drifting around Europe, she tries to forget her family’s legacy and the friends she left behind. But the Morgan women have always been able to harness the power of the mountains surrounding the town, and their spells—and curses—are sewn into the soil. The mountains, they say, never forget.
Sure enough, when Carrie’s grandmother dies and leaves behind her dilapidated cottage, she returns to renovate—certain she will only be there for one winter. She meets Matthieu as the temperature dips, a newcomer who offers to help refurbish the cottage. Before long, and despite warnings from her great-aunt Cora of the old stories, Carrie finds herself falling for the charming stranger. But when the frost thaws in spring, Matthieu goes missing.
Carrie is convinced he’s real, and he’s in danger. As she fights her way across the mountains to find him, she must confront all the reasons why she left Woodsmoke and decide whether the place she’s spent the last decade running from is the home she’s been searching for.
Rachel Greenlaw, the beloved author of One Christmas Morning, returns with another beautifully crafted, emotionally charged, and romantic tale about lost love and the magic of coming home.

FUTURE OF BOOK CLUB
We plan to do a book club meeting every month on the second Thursday of each month starting in Nov. of 2024 from 6pm-7pm.
As of right now, we only have plans to host one meeting a month, but if many people with different genre tastes want to join, we may branch out with multiple meetings a month.
We have picked the first book out, which hopefully has a little something for everyone, but we are hoping that eventually the collective group will pick the book. We will be reading new releases no matter the genre.
