📝 The best Sunday mornings start with a blank page (and a mimosa) 🥂

This Sunday, June 21, come start yours with us at Journaling Club from 10–11:30am.

A guided journaling session, mimosas, and a little stillness before the day begins. Whether it’s your Father’s Day gift to yourself or a quiet moment before the festivities — this is the perfect way to begin a Sunday. ✨

Another magical night in the books 📖🌙✨ Our ACOTAR Countdown Club gathered to dive into A Court of Mist and Fury — and wow, did this group bring the energy! From Team Tamlin vs. Team Rhysand debates to deep dives on trauma, loyalty, and that mating bond, the conversation has us in stitches all night.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to discuss, debate, and divine their fates in our Cauldron oracle activity 🔮

Next stop: A Court of Wings and Ruin. See you at the next gathering in July! (A few rare spots still available)🍷📚

Puzzle Night recap: good wine, great puzzles, even better company. 🧩✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night—and to Elms Handcut Puzzles for the stunning handcrafted wooden puzzles that had everyone at every table completely locked in. The concentration in the room was real—heads down, glasses nearby, and so much great teamwork! Nights like this are exactly why we do what we do.

See you at the next one in August!

We gathered, we tasted, we became vegetable believers. 🌿📚

Last night we were joined by the incredible Cara Mangini Mangini, author of The Vegetable Butcher and The Vegetable Eater, for an evening that made us fall head over heels for veggies.

The conversation was led by our beloved friend Bebe Carminito Bebe Black Carminito , cookbook author and food stylist extraordinaire, who drew out all the good stuff: the roots of Cara’s deep passion for vegetables, her vision for making them the true star of the plate, and why they are so much more satisfying than we give them credit for.

We got to taste a gorgeous spread of Cara’s recipes, watch her break down veggie prep with live cutting tips and tricks, and then — chef’s kiss — she assembled the most beautiful, fresh zucchini salad right before our eyes. This is exactly why we love Cookbook Lovers Club. 😋

Keep your eyes on our website — our next Cookbook Lovers Club is coming July 28th featuring Cathy Cogliandro Alioto , author of Tapas España. You won’t want to miss it!
