Wellโฆ we think we might have started something! ๐
Last night 17 of us came together for the very first Romantasy Book Club and what an absolutely brilliant evening it was! We spent the night chatting all things Whispers of the Deep, sharing opinions, laughing and getting slightly sidetracked (as all good book clubs should ๐).
When Hannah from Howley Coffee Co first asked me to help with starting a Romantasy Book Club together, I donโt think either of us quite knew whether anyone else would want to join usโฆ turns out you absolutely did! ๐ฅน๐โค๏ธ
So, Hannah and I are VERY excited to announce that the votes are in and our September read isโฆ
๐ฎโจ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐! โจ๐ฎ
Tarot-inspired magic, a mysterious academy, secrets, scheming, enemies-to-lovers tension and a deliciously slow-burn romanceโฆ with a little more ๐ถ๏ธ than our first read. ๐
And once again, the lovely Meeple Play Cafe will be giving our book club a home:
๐
Friday 4th September
โฐ 7pm
๐ Meeple Play Cafe, Hythe
A massive thank you to everyone who took a chance on our little idea and joined us for the very first meeting. We couldnโt have asked for a better bunch of people to start this with. โค๏ธ

Thereโs no membership, no book-club experience required and definitely no need for serious literary analysis. ๐ Read the book (or as much as you manage!), come along, grab a drink and join Hannah and me for an evening of fantasy, romance, questionable fictional men and plenty of bookish chat.
Nowโฆ whoโs joining us at the Academy? ๐ฎ๐โจ
