Welcome to a new year and the kick off of the first meeting of The Bookwyrms Book Club for 2026!
If you hadn't noticed, we've got an amazing book section, and we love to talk books, so a book club feels like the perfect next move! We'll be meeting every month to discuss interesting books, and there will be coffee and snacks. We've really been blown away by the interest and attendance in our first couple of meetings, and want to clarify some things about how we're doing things.
The goal of The Bookwyrms is to introduce titles we're excited about to new readers, so purchase of the book club selection ticket combo is a requirement to join the discussion. You can buy the special book + ticket combo online and in-store, just mention it at check out!
Our first book of the year is House of Frost and Feathers by Lauren Wiesebron:
A touch of The Bear and the Nightingale, a bit of Juniper & Thorn, and a sense of wonder and adventure makes up this lyrical debut fantasy of a young woman in search of a home, and a home in search of people to make it feel lived in.
Marisha’s time is running out. She’s already lost her family to the sleeping plague, and she fears she’ll be next. Penniless and desperate for protection, Marisha is forced to accept a job as apprentice to the notorious koldunya, the sorceress Baba Zima.
But Baba Zima is renowned for being both clever and cruel. And most difficult of all is her current apprentice, Olena, who wants nothing to do with Marisha. Despite her fears and Olena’s cold demeanor, Marisha finds herself drawn into the magical world of koldunry and delves further into Olena’s research—a cure for the sleeping plague.
Accompanying Olena on an increasingly dangerous, seemingly impossible search for a cure, she finds hidden connections between the sleeping plague, her own family’s history, and her bizarre, recurring dreams: dreams of a masked ball where the deep sleepers are trapped endlessly dancing—and a monstrous beaked man who haunts her every step . . .
