where magic meets girlhood.

Think of it like a weekend-long bookish slumber party. You know that feeling of staying up too late, giggling with your friends, talking about anything and everything under the stars? This is that, except with books.

We host bookish retreats for women and femmes, designed to feel like the sleepover of your dreams: one where everyone knows what a shadow daddy is and has a TBR just as long as yours. Our retreats are a place where you can loudly love your favorite books, be your full self, and live out the found family trope in real life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Think of reading retreats like a weekend-long book club where you can read, participate in planned activities and make new friends, deep-dive into your favorite fan theories, show off your trivia knowledge, with plenty of time for crafting, adventuring into town/nature, and yapping.

  • NEVER! We welcome fantasy readers of all ages (21+). Our reading retreats are designed to provide you with a little escape from reality (often into the woods), some leisure time to do the things you love the most, and connect with other fantasy lovers. You can’t be too old to have a little relaxed fun!

  • No! Superfans welcome, of course, but we welcome readers of all interest/obsession levels.
