Febru book of the month:

Metal Slinger

Author: Rachel Schneider


February’s Book of the Month is Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider ⚔️💖
Where sparks fly, magic hums, and love is anything but ordinary. With Valentine’s Day in the air, we’re leaning into romantasy *slow-burn tension*, powerful worlds, and a connection that feels forged rather than fated. Metal Slinger blends danger and devotion, reminding us that love can be both a weapon and a shield.


Please note: Milford book club includes the cost of the book of the month, you can Pick up your book from book lovers book shop in Milford anytime prior to the book club date by showing your ticket confirmation.
Each month, we’ll dive into a new book together and then meet at our cosy venue to share our thoughts, laughs, and favourite moments. Alongside the discussion, we’ll spend time stitching a custom embroidery patch onto our dedicated Storytime Stitching hoodie ... a creative keepsake that grows with every book we read!

Whether you’re brand new to embroidery or already love crafting, you’ll have the freedom to choose your own design — with inspiration, guidance, and tools provided to bring your ideas to life. This is less about being “experts” and more about enjoying time together as cosy crafters and page-turning pals.

This month, we’ll be reading Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider and creating designs inspired by its magic, metals, and romance—stitching strength, passion, and fantasy into every thread 🧵📖✨
If you’re craving a Valentine’s season filled with epic love and immersive worlds, we’d love to have you join us in the book club.

Let’s celebrate the season together with great books, festive threads, and cozy Christmas vibes!
