Sarah Beth Durst with Katherine Arden: The Spellshop

Join us at Phoenix Books Essex for an evening with author Sarah Beth Durst! We are thrilled to help her celebrate the launch of her new novel, The Spellshop, a cozy fantasy romance filled with magic, second chances, and jam, this book reads like a romcom by way of Studio Ghibli; it’s perfect escapist fare that makes for ideal beach reading and daydreaming. Sarah will be in conversation with fellow author, Katherine Arden.
