🚨Think May was packed with events? You haven't seen anything yet... because June is here, and we're not slowing down one bit! 🚨

June at The Novel Realm is absolutely loaded with gaming events, book events, special events, community gatherings, and plenty of surprises along the way.

🎲 First up, Magic: The Gathering fans have a HUGE month ahead! We've got:
✨ Open the Archive Strixhaven Draft
🌈 Pride Night
🎓 Avengers Academy
🦸 And all of it leads up to the incredible release of Marvel Super Heroes!
We'll be celebrating with pre-release parties, pre-release events, and plenty more Marvel-themed fun throughout the month.

⚔️ Riftbound players, your time has come! This weekend we'll be hosting our very first Riftbound Summoner Skirmish event, and we can't wait to see what everyone brings to the battlefield.

🎮 Our regular gaming nights continue as well, with Friday Night Gaming, Pokémon, Lorcana, Commander, board games, and more.

Pokémon trainers can also look forward to a few special product releases this month, including new tins and First Partner Series 2 collection.

Don't forget our other MONTHLY events like Dungeons & Dragons, Trivia Night, Line Dancing (held next door!), Book club, and look out for some learn to play and special gaming events at the end of June that have yet to be announced!

📚 And if you think we're only talking games, think again...

This weekend kicks off the amazing New Jersey Book Crawl! Over 40 participating bookstores, three days of bookish adventures, special items, door prizes, exclusive goodies, and more. We can't wait to welcome all of our fellow book lovers through our doors.

🚗 We'll also be out and about at several community outreach events throughout June, so keep an eye on our page for details as those are announced.

🎉 And then... the big one.

On June 27th, The Novel Realm celebrates TWO YEARS! 🎂🥳

We're planning a fantastic anniversary celebration featuring:
☕ Free coffee bar
🎂 Cake
🎁 Door prizes
📖 Local authors and book signings
🛍️ Special items
🎉 And plenty of fun throughout the day

It's the perfect way to cap off what may be our biggest month yet.

Honestly, by the end of June, we should probably be tired of seeing all of your faces...
..but let's be real, we'd rather see you even more. ❤️

Thank you for helping us build such an incredible community. June is going to be one for the books—literally.
