Do you spend more time adding books to your TBR than actually making progress on it? Have strong opinions about fictional characters? Find yourself desperately needing someone to discuss the latest plot twist with?

You might have found your people.

I posted here a little while ago about starting The Bookish Coven, a local group for women in their 20s, 30s and 40s around Annapolis and Anne Arundel County who love fantasy, romantasy, sci-fi, and all the wonderfully weird books in between.

We've got a small group going now, and we're planning our first in-person meetup for Thursday, October 15 in the Annapolis area!

The idea is book community first, book club second. Book recommendations, fictional character debates, questionable book boyfriends, optional group reads, and getting together with people who understand why your TBR will never actually get shorter.

Our first meetup will be a casual happy hour to meet everyone, talk books, and probably leave with even more books on our TBRs. No assigned reading or homework, but bring whatever you're currently reading if you'd like!

We organize everything through our private Facebook group, The Bookish Coven, so if this sounds like your kind of crowd, come join us!

Hope to meet some more local book lovers!

Hi! I recently started a Facebook group called The Bookish Coven for women in the Annapolis/Anne Arundel area who are into fantasy, romantasy, sci-fi, and similar genres, and I'm looking for some other local readers who might want to help get it going!

I'm hoping for it to be a little more relaxed than a traditional book club. We'd have optional monthly group reads, but also just talk about whatever we're currently reading, share recommendations, discuss new releases, etc.

I'd also really like for it to eventually have a social side—casual book discussions, coffee or happy hours, bookstore trips, BYOB/"bring your own book" meetups, and other bookish things around the area.

It's brand new, so there aren't many of us yet, but I figured there had to be some other fantasy/romantasy readers around Annapolis looking for something like this too. 😂

If you're interested, comment or message me and I'll send you the Facebook group!
