More Than Just The Homeschool Store

Hello, Brazoria County! My name is Victoria Boykin, and I would like to introduce, or re-introduce, myself and my store. It seems many people don’t know who, where, and what we are, so please let me show you!

Last May The Scholar’s Source was opened with the purpose of providing tools for education in all its forms. From classroom decor, educational games and manipulatives, workbooks, children’s books, science experiment kits and more, we filled out shelves with different ways to learn. We also held get togethers for the community, went on field trips, and had some really awesome art and science classes along the way.

But as we went on growing, we have become so much more than that. A few months ago, we began adding in shelves for books of all genres and for all ages. Currently, we have over 50 bookshelves or new and used books, spanning a large variety of genres and age groups. Board books for the baby readers, genre fiction, classics, as well as a variety of nonfiction from science and history, to biographies, cookbooks, and coffee table books. We even have a growing selection of vintage and antique books!

We also have added unique gifts for teachers, kids, book lovers, and more! Both unique finds we have curated and handmade goods from our own local creators. (We are always looking for more to add, too!)

On top of that, we have curated a selection of board games, puzzles, and are building out a selection of tabletop games and accessories. We even carry Warhammer! We are also planning game nights as well as game craft nights for our community of gamers. Not to mention the variety of other book clubs, pop-ups, and markets we have, as well as author events and meetups. (Stay tuned for announcements of upcoming events!)

And last but certainly not least, earlier this year we partnered with the Artist Alliance of Brazoria County, a local non-profit artist co-op, who now use our community classroom as their home base! They have several instructors who teach everything from junior art club for the kids, drawing classes, all-day workshops, cookie decorating, to guided painting classes and paint & hang parties, and so many more to come!

So if you thought you knew who we were, and didn’t come because it wasn’t for you- please, try us out! If you didn’t know we existed, now you do. And if this sounds like something exciting to try out, PLEASE, come check us out. Our mission is still to educate, we just believe that comes in many forms. But we can’t do it without you. Our heart is with our community, and as we work toward our goal of eventually growing out of this space we need our community to support us back.

Like, share, and follow our page.
Come to an event.
Invite someone you know will love us.

Just stop in and check out a local author or artist, or hang out in the store and read a book for a while.

Much love, and eternal gratitude,

Available June 9th, 2026

It’s been four years since Jovie betrayed Acker, fracturing their relationship. Her decision to take King Edmond’s magic, sparing his life at Acker’s request, has sparked a brutal war. The Kenta and Strou forces ally against the Roison and Alaha, with Maile perched dangerously on the edge of their battles.

Jovie is determined to keep the innocent Maile people from a conflict she helped start―even if it means suppressing the Matching Bond and sacrificing any hope of repairing her relationship with Acker. Yet, visions of him continue to haunt her dreams.

Acker is resigned to aid in his father’s war while in an arranged marriage with a wife who detests him. Though still pained by Jovie’s deception, he can’t stop his thoughts from turning to her. And Acker has found a way to slip into Jovie’s dreams despite her attempts to stifle the Matching Bond. There he watches her, torn between his loyalties and desire.

When he discovers the chilling reason behind the return of his father's magic, as well as Edmond’s dangerous new alliance, Acker must finally decide which war he wants to fight: the one for his king or the one for his heart.

The Unicorn Hunters

Katherine Arden

With her country's future and her own life at stake, an orphaned duchess must journey into a world of myth and there discover a power that may be her salvation—or her demise—in this enchanting new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Winternight Trilogy and The Warm Hands of Ghosts.

Anne of Brittany was a child when her realm was invaded, her home besieged, and her royal father driven to his death.

Now her treasury is empty, her land occupied by her enemies, and she is ordered, under threat of renewed war, to become queen of her conquerors and marry the King of France.

This marriage means her country’s annexation. But Anne promised her father that Brittany would never be conquered.

Defiantly, she betroths herself in secret to France’s greatest enemy. But in a world where courts may spy on each other by magic, there is only one way to solemnize this illicit union.

Anne takes her court deep into a legendary forest, where the court diviners’ skill cannot reach. The world thinks they are only a hunting party, coursing after unicorns. But that is a lie, a trick, a feint. No one in living memory has seen a unicorn. All Anne wants is this secret wedding, which is her only hope of salvation.

But when against all hope a unicorn appears and a stranger out of legend stumbles from the trees and falls at her feet, Anne is plunged into a world of enchantment where a doomed sovereign might find the power to change her own and her country’s destiny—or be lost in the shadows forever.

Available June 9th

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes the second book in the devilishly steamy Seasons of Carnage trilogy where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense—and where love is ripe for ruin.

It’s time to reap what you sow.

Cape Carnage is blooming with secrets, and they’re ready to harvest. But every time Nolan Rhodes digs one up, another grows in its place. Harper isn’t who he thought she was. Arthur might be more sinister than he first thought. And Sheriff Yates? The man is everywhere he turns. When true crime fanatics descend on the town looking for answers about the death of their leader, Nolan finds himself at the center of a search and rescue operation for missing people he knows are already dead. Cape Carnage teeters on the brink of chaos. And the harder Nolan tries to keep it together, the closer Harper comes to unraveling.

Harper Starling has risked everything to bury her trauma in Cape Carnage. But now that Nolan has unearthed her past, her whole life seems ready to break apart. And who can she trust? The enigmatic man she’s falling in love with? He came to kill her. The serial killer mentor she’s vowed to protect? He’s become an unpredictable menace. The woman in the mirror? She might be the most dangerous of all.

Loyalties are tested. Bonds are bent to a breaking point. And love? That might be the deadliest trap of all.

Harvest Season is a dark romance with mature themes. Please check content warnings at the beginning of the book.

“Brynne Weaver is a literary force unlike any other. Tourist Season is an evocative, suspenseful romance that will be sure to grip onto every reader’s imagination and send their pulse skyrocketing. Filled with deliciously dark humor and slow-burn tension, Harper and Nolan’s story was as decadent and twisted as it was human and raw. I had the time of my life reading Tourist Season and will forever read anything Brynne writes.” —Hannah Bonam-Young, USA Today bestselling author of Out of the Woods

Two Ships: Jamestown 1619, Plymouth 1620, and the Struggle for the Soul of America
“Provocative . . . essential reading for today’s polarized times.” —Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

“This is a brilliant conceit, wonderfully executed. . . . David S. Reynolds has found
In the bitterly polarized decades leading up to the American Civil War, it was commonplace to argue that America’s strife could be traced back to the arrival of two ships, less than a year apart—The White Lion, which brought the first enslaved Africans to Jamestown in 1619, and the Mayflower, which brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock in 1620.

In a deeper sense, David S. Reynolds shows us, in this magnificent book, those two ships, invoked by Frederick Douglass and many others, stood for two quite distinct realities: the Puritans and the Cavaliers, names and ideologies born in the bloodshed of the English Civil War. The Virginia colony, founded by royalists, was steeped in the ideas of divine right, which flowed down in rigid patriarchal hierarchies. Plymouth Colony’s dissenters to the king and his church, while hardly perfect, carried the seeds of a more egalitarian political vision.

These two ships of 1619 and 1620 played a key role in the battle of images and words that marked the roiling fight, and then war, over slavery. As Reynolds shows, there was a long stretch of time in America when everyone knew what Cavaliers and Puritans meant. It was North versus South, but more deeply, it was about whether social hierarchy was the natural order of things.

But then, as America descended into the long night of Jim Crow, the metaphor of the two ships went to sleep as well. The meaning of the Mayflower and of Thanksgiving changed as they became mainstream, apolitical ideas. If the ships’ status as cultural touchpoints before the Civil War tells us something vital about that conflict, their forgetting afterward tells us much about why the road to true equality has proved so stony. By dredging up these two ships’ dueling images, the great David S. Reynolds enables us to make the same use of them that Frederick Douglass and his contemporaries did to challenge us, and to give us hope that we are up to the task.
