The November Book Club - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
2024-11-26 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
Join us on November 26th at 7PM ET to talk about the incredible novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab!
Here’s the description:
“France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever―and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.
Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.
But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.”
And here are some of the excellent reviews:
“Victoria Schwab sends you whirling through a dizzying kaleidoscopic adventure through centuries filled with love, loss, art and war ― all the while dazzling your senses with hundreds of tiny magical moments along the way. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue will enchant readers as deeply as its heroine’s Faustian bargain; you will find yourself in quick turns both aching with heartbreak, and gleefully crowing at the truly delicious, wicked cleverness in store.” – Naomi Novik
“Addie Larue is a book perfectly suspended between darkness and light, myth and reality. [This novel] is―ironically―unforgettable.” – Alix E. Harrow
“Sweeping in its scope yet wonderfully intimate, it’s dark and sexy yet romantic and heartbreaking.” – Rebecca Roanhorse
“Rich and satisfying.” – Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“A knockout.” – Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
And probably our favorite –>
“It’s a bit cheeky to call The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Faust for romantic bisexual goths, but it’s not wrong… I for one will most certainly remember her.” – NPR

The December Book Club - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
2024-12-16 19:00 - 20:00
Hi all! Apologies for the short notice on this one – we were actually planning to do a different book, but then it didn’t turn out how we hoped. When we realized that we’d actually never read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens as a Carterhaugh group though, we knew what we had to do!
Join us on December 16th at 7PM ET to talk about this incredibly influential novella (that happens to feature one of the best opening lines in all of literature, in our humble opinions!) There’s a lot more to this story than you might think, especially if you’ve only seen film adaptations, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

The January Book Club - Bitter Medicine by Mia Tsai
2025-01-27 19:00 - 20:00
Join us on January 27th, 2025 to discuss Mia Tsai’s urban fantasy novel, Bitter Medicine!
Here’s the description:
“As a descendant of the Chinese god of medicine, ignored middle child Elle Jiang was destined to be a doctor. Instead, she is underemployed as a mediocre magical calligrapher at the fairy temp agency. Nevertheless, she challenges herself by covertly outfitting Luc, her client and crush, with high-powered glyphs.
Half-elf Luc, the agency’s top security expert, has his own secret: he’s responsible for a curse laid from an old assignment. To heal them, he’ll need to perform his job duties with unrelenting excellence and earn time off from his tyrannical boss.
When Elle saves Luc’s life, they begin a dangerous collaboration, but their chemistry blooms. Happiness, for once, is an option for them both. But Elle is loyal to her family, and Luc is bound by his true name. To win freedom from duty, they must make unexpected sacrifices.”
We LOVE a good contemporary, folklore-infused fantasy!!

—Publishers Weekly [Starred Review]
“There are so many joys in this paranormal. The wealth of languages, mythologies, religions and magicks are a weight that balances the emotional tenderness.”
—New York Times Book Review

The February Book Club - The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
2025-02-18 19:00 - 20:00
We’re so excited to announce that our book for February is all about love… in all different kinds of forms – The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sandu Mandanna! Our meeting will be February 18th at 7PM ET.
Here’s the write up –
“A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family—and a new love—changes the course of her life.
As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and she follows the rules…with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos “pretending” to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.
But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and…Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he’s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.
As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn’t the only danger in the world, and when peril comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for….”
And here’s what people are saying –
“Mandanna crafts a cast of winningly quirky characters, each with their own part to play in Mika’s path to belonging… This charming romantic fantasy is a gem.” – Publishers Weekly [Starred Review]
“This whimsical romance is full of quirky, lovable characters who will charm even the grumpiest of readers. It’s an enchanting story that brings to life the wonders of finally finding your people and letting love find you.” – The Washington Post

The March Book Club - The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang
2025-03-25 19:00 - 20:00
Join us on March 25, 2025 at 7PM ET to discuss Jen Wang’s beautiful fairy-tale graphic novel, The Prince and the Dressmaker!
Here’s the description:
“Prince Sebastian is looking for a bride―or rather, his parents are looking for one for him. Sebastian is too busy hiding his secret life from everyone. At night he puts on daring dresses and takes Paris by storm as the fabulous Lady Crystallia―the hottest fashion icon in the world capital of fashion!
Sebastian’s secret weapon (and best friend) is the brilliant dressmaker Frances―one of only two people who know the truth: sometimes this boy wears dresses. But Frances dreams of greatness, and being someone’s secret weapon means being a secret. Forever. How long can Frances defer her dreams to protect a friend? Jen Wang weaves an exuberantly romantic tale of identity, young love, art, and family.”
We LOVED this story. Here are some reviews:
“There is so much love in Wang’s illustrations, which are perfectly suited to the fairy tale nature of the book…it’s completely satisfying. In modern fairy tales, there really are happy endings.”—New York Times
“Gorgeously dense artwork, lively sense of movement, effervescent fashions, sweet romance, and heartwarming denouement.” ―Booklist [Starred Review]
“With inviting illustrations and a relatable story line, this tender tale of friendship and identity is sure to delight even readers who aren’t fans of the graphic novel format.”― School Library Journal [Starred Review]

The April Book Club - Divining the Leaves by Shveta Thakrar
2025-04-10 19:00 - 20:00
We are thrilled to announce that our April book club pick will be our dear friend Shveta Thakrar’s new book, Divining the Leaves, AND that Shveta herself will be joining us! We’ll be meeting on April 10th at 7PM ET.
Here’s the description:
“Plant-loving Ridhi Kapadia and popular Nilesh Batra were friends once.
Now, seventeen and alone, Ridhi blends natural perfumes, wears flower crowns, and wanders her local woods, listening for the leafy whispers of her beloved trees. Pleading for the yakshas to admit her into their enchanted forest kingdom, where she knows she truly belongs.
After learning his parents’ perfect marriage is a sham and getting suspended from school, a heartsick Nilesh lands at Ridhi’s doorstep—the last thing either of them wants. So when a pretty yakshini offers him the distraction of magic, the same magic he mocked Ridhi for believing in, he jumps at it.
Furious, Ridhi strikes a bargain with a noblewoman of the yaksha court. In exchange for helping restore her reputation, Lady Sulochana will turn Ridhi into the yakshini she yearns to be—and teach her to divine the trees’ murmurs.
But when Nilesh ends up trapped in the yakshas’ realm, Ridhi realizes the leaves might be telling a disturbing story about the forest her heart is rooted in—one that, even if the two of them band together, threatens to shred the future like so many thorns.”
And here are just a few of the beautiful reviews this book has received:
“A coming of age story blends seamlessly with Indian mythology in this beautifully written novel. Shveta Thakrar is skilled at conjuring tastes and aromas with her words, bringing the dual worlds of the story to vivid life.”— Juliet Marillier, author of the Blackthorn & Grim series
“Thakrar’s writing is rich and detailed without being dragged under by its own weight, depicting her story like a fine tapestry… This is a complex, deeper dive than usual, but Thakrar leavens her satisfying story with humor and populates it with realistic and appealing characters.”― Booklist [Starred Review]
“Thakrar’s Hindu- and Buddhist-inspired story with a primarily Indian cast is overflowing with lush, sensual imagery… [an] undeniably beautiful fantasy.”— Kirkus Reviews

The May Book Club - The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa
2025-05-21 19:00 - 20:00
Our next book club pick is The Cat Who Saved Books, a delightful little book by Sosuke Natsukawa! We’ll be meeting on May 21st at 7PM ET.
Here’s the description:
“Bookish high school student Rintaro Natsuki is about to close the secondhand bookstore he inherited from his beloved bookworm grandfather. Then, a talking cat appears with an unusual request. The feline asks for—or rather, demands—the teenager’s help in saving books with him. The world is full of lonely books left unread and unloved, and the cat and Rintaro must liberate them from their neglectful owners.
Their mission sends this odd couple on an amazing journey, where they enter different mazes to set books free. Through their travels, the cat and Rintaro meet a man who leaves his books to perish on a bookshelf, an unwitting book torturer who cuts the pages of books into snippets to help people speed read, and a publishing drone who only wants to create bestsellers. Their adventures culminate in one final, unforgettable challenge—the last maze that awaits leads Rintaro down a realm only the bravest dare enter . . .
An enthralling tale of books, first love, fantasy, and an unusual friendship with a talking cat, The Cat Who Saved Books is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.”
Sounds perfect for a lot of us, right?
“Cats, books, young love, and adventure: catnip for a variety of readers!” – Kirkus Reviews
“Quirky and heartwarming in equal measure, The Cat Who Saved Books invites us to remember the joy of curling up with a favorite book, and savoring the tactile pleasure that comes with turning the pages and immersing ourselves in a good story.” — The Japan Times

The June Book Club - Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
2025-06-25 19:00 - 20:00
We are SO EXCITED that our June book club will feature Weep, Woman, Weep by our friend and colleague Dr. Maria DeBlassie AND that Maria will be joining us for our discussion on June 25th at 7PM ET!
(You might remember Dr. DeBlassie from the absolutely phenomenal bonus she did for our Enchant course, “Conversing with the Tarot to Conjure Main Character Magic”!)
Here’s the description:
“The women of Sueño, New Mexico don’t know how to live a life without sorrows. That’s La Llorona’s doing. She roams the waterways looking for the next generation of girls to baptize, filling them with more tears than any woman should have to hold. And there’s not much they can do about the Weeping Woman except to avoid walking along the riverbank at night and to try to keep their sadness in check. That’s what attracts her to them: the pain and heartache that gets passed down from one generation of women to the next.
Mercy knows this, probably better than anyone. She lost her best friend to La Llorona and almost found a watery grave herself. But she survived. Only she didn’t come back quite right and she knows La Llorona won’t be satisfied until she drags the one soul that got away back to the bottom of the river.
In a battle for her life, Mercy fights to break the chains of generational trauma and reclaim her soul free from ancestral hauntings by turning to the only things that she knows can save her: plant medicine, pulp books, and the promise of a love so strong not even La Llorona can stop it from happening. What unfolds is a stunning tale of one woman’s journey into magic, healing, and rebirth.”
Please note that this book does come with content warnings for assault, domestic violence, racism, and colorism.
Here are couple of the excellent reviews this book has received:
“This may be one of the more compelling, beautiful books that I’ve read this year…An unexpected joy.” ~ Melissa on Goodreads
“If you’re a fan of magical-contemporary novels like Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman, The Wood Wife by Terri Windling, or the novellas and stories by Francesca Lia Block, then you’ll be delighted by Maria DeBlassie’s Weep, Woman, Weep.” ~ Hayley on Goodreads
Sounds right up our alley, no? And hey, the book’s subtitle is “A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings,” so you KNOW it’s perfect for Carterhaugh!

The July Book Club - But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
2025-07-10 19:00 - 20:00
Buckle up for book club this month because we’re reading Hache Pueyo’s novella But Not Too Bold. We’ll be meeting on July 10th at 7PM ET.
But Not Too Bold is the sapphic Bluebeard retelling that happens when you throw Angela Carter, Mexican Gothic, Gaudi, and a bunch of spiders into a blender. It was originally written in Brazilian Portuguese and translated into English by Pueyo.
We cannot emphasize enough: content warning for spiders. If you cannot do spiders, skip this one!
Here’s the official writeup:
“The Shape of Water meets Mexican Gothic in this sapphic monster romance novella wrapped in gothic fantasy trappings.
The old keeper of the keys is dead, and the creature who ate her is the volatile Lady of the Capricious House⁠—Anatema, an enormous humanoid spider with a taste for laudanum and human brides. Dália, the old keeper’s protégée, must take up her duties, locking and unlocking the little drawers in which Anatema keeps her memories. And if she can unravel the crime that led to her predecessor’s execution, Dália might just be able to survive long enough to grow into her new role.
But there’s a gaping hole in Dália’s plan that she refuses to see: Anatema cannot resist a beautiful woman, and she eventually devours every single bride that crosses her path.”
Here are some of the reviews:
“An intoxicating feast for anyone who has found beauty in the monstrous.”―Cassandra Khaw
“Pueyo weaves an exquisite web of a tale, full of enigmatic characters, eerie atmosphere and all-consuming passion.”―Laura Pohl
“Pueyo knows exactly how to blend darkness and evil with cuteness and gorgeous prose. . . . A master of Latin American dark fiction.”―Renan Bernardo
We will not lie to you, 90% of why we’re reading this one is because Sara read it over the weekend and needs to talk about it. The writing is stunning, the setting is ridiculously amazing Spanish Gothic, and it’s wildly creative. Do we buy the romance? NOPE. Do we care? NOPE. Let’s get into this truly bizarre, lush, fascinating little novella!

The August Book Club - Not Quite a Ghost by Anne Ursu
2025-08-19 19:00 - 20:00
Join us on August 19th, 2025 at 7PM ET to discuss Anne Ursu’s Not Quite a Ghost (as recommended to us by Hannah and many others in the Carterhaugh community!)
Here’s the description:
“The house seemed to sit apart from the others on Katydid Street, silent and alone, like it didn’t fit among them. For Violet Hart—whose family is about to move into the house on Katydid Street—very little felt like it fit anymore. Like their old home, suddenly too small since her mother remarried and the new baby arrived. Or Violet’s group of friends, which, since they started middle school, isn’t enough for Violet’s best friend, Paige. Everything seemed to be changing at once. But sometimes, Violet tells herself, change is okay.
That is, until Violet sees her new room. The attic bedroom in their new house is shadowy, creaky, and wrapped in old yellow wallpaper covered with a faded tangle of twisting vines and sickly flowers. And then, after moving in, Violet falls ill—and does not get better. As days turn into weeks without any improvement, her family growing more confused and her friends wondering if she’s really sick at all, she finds herself spending more time alone in the room with the yellow wallpaper, the shadows moving in the corners, wrapping themselves around her at night.
And soon, Violet starts to suspect that she might not be alone in the room at all.”
We absolutely loved this moving, creative, and beautiful story. Here are some reviews:
“This is a story about a haunted house—but it’s also a fresh, modern look at unexplained health issues, COVID-19 anxiety, changing friendships, and blended families. Compulsively readable and relatable, Ursu’s twisty middle grade novel is highly recommended.” — School Library Journal [Starred Review]
“Anne Ursu has done it again: Not Quite a Ghost is a tender-yet-fierce hug of a story, complete with heartbreaking (and heartwarming) friendship ups and downs, a sensitive and honest exploration of invisible illness, and a truly creepy thing that lives inside the walls of a very special house. I want to press this beautiful book into the hands of everyone I know.” — Claire Legrand, New York Times–bestselling author of Some Kind of Happiness

“Ursu draws on familiar elements of ghost stories and the renewed attention Long COVID has brought to chronic illness to create a deeply poignant exploration of what it means to be sick in a way the rest of the world dismisses.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books [Starred Review]

The September Book Club - Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis
2025-09-18 19:00 - 20:00
Join us on September 18th at 7PM ET to discuss the hilarious and delightful novel Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis!
Okay, so here’s the publisher’s description:
“Queen Saskia is the wicked sorceress everyone fears. After successfully wrestling the throne from her evil uncle, she only wants one thing: to keep her people safe from the empire next door. For that, she needs to spend more time in her laboratory experimenting with her spells. She definitely doesn’t have time to bring order to her chaotic library of magic.
When a mysterious dark wizard arrives at her castle, Saskia hires him as her new librarian on the spot. ‘Fabian’ is sweet and a little nerdy, and his requests seem a little strange – what in the name of Divine Elva is a fountain pen? – but he’s getting the job done. And if he writes her flirtatious poetry and his innocent touch makes her skin singe, well . . .
Little does Saskia know that the ‘wizard’ she’s falling for is actually an Imperial archduke in disguise, with no magical training whatsoever. On the run, he’s in danger from Saskia”s enemies and her new-found allies, too. So when Saskia finally discovers the truth, will their love save them – or be their doom?”
And that’s, like, fine, right? Neither of us know if we would have actually picked this one up based on that description alone though.
But here’s the thing – the actual novel is SO much better than that description (or the odd paperback version of the cover) hints at! We think this Goodreads review sums it up much better:
“What an absolute delight this book was, and oh, do we need more gentle heroes! This lovely new story from Stephanie Burgis features a rakish Queen of Villainy and her gentle librarian–who harbors some serious secrets. If you love hidden identities, slow burn romance, and learning to face the ghosts of your past–by learning to draw strength from those you love–then this story is for you.
Burgis turns so many stereotypes on their head, but by far the one I loved the most was what makes us strong – or weak. Gentleness as strength. Radical kindness. Loving and leaning on someone allowing you to find your own strength and stand strong. What a beautiful story! And don’t be confused–the true villains certainly get their just deserts, but figuring out what that is and how to go about it is also part of our characters’ arc, and I loved that.
This is an adult romantasy, and it certainly hits the expected romance notes within a fabulously fantastical world, but there are also plenty of twists to keep you intrigued, and so much heart. Also! Crow friends, our hero nerding out over fountain pens, a troll housekeeper and the absolute best found family! What more could you want?
Highly recommend!”
Fair warning – this book IS romantasy, so there is a bit of spice, but honestly it’s pretty mild for the genre. Trigger warning also for death, childhood abuse, and what looks a lot like PTSD.

The October Book Club - A Sorceress Comes To Call by T. Kingfisher
2025-10-21 19:00 - 20:00
Join us on October 21st at 7PM ET to discuss T. Kingfisher’s A Sorceress Comes to Call, which is one of the best fairy-tale retellings we’ve read in the last several years. And it’s a “Goose Girl” retelling, which is very rare to see in a novel-length retelling!
The vibe is Regency-romance setting but make it Gothic horror and also hilarious? We honestly don’t know how she does it.
Here’s the starred review from Publishers Weekly: “With this riff on the Brothers Grimm’s “The Goose Girl,” set in a fantasy world inspired by Regency romances, Hugo Award winner Kingfisher (Nettle & Bone) continues her hot streak of deeply compassionate, thrilling, and often laugh-out-loud fairy tale retellings. Cordelia, 14, grows up in a house without closed doors. Her mother, Evangeline, is a dangerous enchantress who regularly compels her into total obedience. The first time Cordelia’s allowed some privacy is when Evangeline moves them into the home of her suitor, Squire Samuel Chatham—a home Evangeline means to seize and remake to her specifications by whatever means necessary. The Squire’s sister, Lady Hester, feels an awful presentiment of doom and is on the defensive around Evangeline, but only Cordelia knows the true, murderous extent of her mother’s powers. Can Cordelia speak up against a mother who controls her so completely? Would Hester even believe her if she did? The dual narrators—terrified fish-out-of-water Cordelia and tenaciously sensible Hester—are nuanced, distinctive, and frequently funny. Kingfisher’s remarkable skill for crafting scene-stealing secondary characters is also on full display in ruthless cardsharp Imogen Strauss, über-competent butler Willard, merry widow Penelope Green, and the mysteriously magical horse Falada. Expertly blending humor with folkloric horror, this incredibly satisfying fantasy will delight Kingfisher’s fans and newcomers alike.”
Content warning for parental abuse, murder most fowl, and creepy horses.
We hope you sign up for this one! It’s a spectacular book and perfect for the month of Halloween. To join us, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for October!

The November Book Club - All of Us Murderers by K.J. Charles
2025-11-20 19:00 - 20:00
Join us on November 20th at 7PM ET to discuss K.J. Charles’ All of Us Murders! It’s a TON of fun, one of the best depictions of ADHD we’ve ever seen in a novel, and the perfect Gothic November read.
Here’s the description: “When Zeb Wyckham is summoned to a wealthy relative’s remote Gothic manor, he is horrified to find all the people he least wants to see in the world: his estranged brother, his sneering cousin, and his bitter ex-lover Gideon Grey. Things couldn’t possibly get worse. Then the master of the house announces the true purpose of the gathering: he intends to leave the vast family fortune to whoever marries his young ward, setting off a violent scramble for her hand. Zeb wants no part of his greedy family–but when he tries to leave, the way is barred. The walls of Lackaday House are high, and the gates firmly locked. As the Dartmoor mists roll in, there’s no way out. And something unnatural may be watching them from the house’s shadowy depths… Fear and paranoia ramping ever-higher, Zeb has nowhere to turn but to the man who once held his heart. As the gaslight flickers and terror takes hold, can two warring lovers reunite, uncover the murderous mysteries of Lackaday House–and live to tell the tale?”
And here are some reviews!
“Twisty, atmospheric, and more than a little indebted to Agatha Christie, this satisfying whodunit with a queer twist will keep readers up all night.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“All of Us Murderers balances loathsome characters, a plethora of dastardly twists and well-earned romantic reconnection. Fans of historical romance and mystery lovers with a taste for steam will not put this book down till the last body is buried.” – BookPage
“The mist from the English moors creeps eerily over this story laced with romance, mystery, and intrigue.” – Booklist
Charles’ trigger warnings include: Romance with heavy Gothic vibes. Ableism directed against a character with ADHD. Homophobia. Misogyny. References to rape, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, child abuse (not shown on page). Horrible family. Murder. References to enslavement, the slave trade, and abuse of enslaved people. False imprisonment. Character in grip of phobia. Spiders.
Arachnophobes, if you can take references to spiders but just want to avoid longer passages with graphic text, there are two scenes to avoid –> Chapter 13: skip from where Zeb goes upstairs after leaving Wynn, and go straight to the next chapter. Chapter 23: Don’t read the first paragraph. Then towards the end of the chapter, when Zeb is leaving the library, you might also want to skim over after the dialogue line, “Whatever you do, stay quiet” for the next few short paragraphs until the para beginning, “Eternity passed”. (Sorry, that one is harder to mark in the text!)
