SUMMARY:The August Book Club - A Rose By Any Other Name by Mary McMyne
DESCRIPTION:We’re still way ahead of the game on announcing book clubs this summer\, and we’re not stopping now! On August 22nd\, we’ll meet to discuss Mary McMyne’s new novel A Rose By Any Other Name… and Mary herself will be joining us! \nY’all\, this book has got Shakespeare\, witchcraft\, masques\, and so much more – you’re going to LOVE it!! \nHere’s the description: \n“My name has only been whispered\, heretofore… \nEngland\, 1591. Rose Rushe’s passion for life runs deep—she loves mead and music\, meddles with astrology\, and laughs at her mother’s warnings to guard her reputation. When Rose’s father dies and a noble accuses her and her dear friend Cecely of witchcraft\, they flee to the household of respected alchemists in London. But as their bond deepens\, their sanctuary begins to feel more like a cage. To escape\, they turn to the occult\, secretly casting charms and selling astrological advice in the hopes of building a life together. This thriving underground business leads Rose to fair young noble Henry and playwright Will Shakespeare\, and so begins a brief\, tempestuous\, and powerful romance—one filled with secret longings and deep betrayals.  \nIn this world of dazzling masques and decadent feasts\, where the stars decide futures\, Rose will write her own fate instead.  \nFrom the author of The Book of Gothel comes the lush\, magical story behind Shakespeare’s sonnets\, as told by one of his most famous subjects—the incendiary and mysterious Dark Lady.” \nCan you even?? \nHere are some reviews: \n“A fascinating fictional exposé [with] a touch of mysticism and an LGBTQ twist.” – Booklist (starred review) \n“A delightfully impish heroine… a tempestuous erotic connection… a captivating imagining of the life of the Dark Lady\, the illusive inspiration for Shakespeare’s later sonnets.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review) \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of August!

SUMMARY:The September Book Club – Nimona by ND Stevenson
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for another graphic novel\, y’all\, and we’re so excited about this silly\, adorable\, and moving one – Nimona by ND Stevenson (yes\, the comic that inspired the recent Netflix film\, and yes\, the creator of the recent She-Ra reboot!) Join us on September 25th at 7PM ET to talk about this absolutely delightful book that won tons of awards and even more hearts. \nHere’s the description: \n“Nimona is an impulsive young shapeshifter with a knack for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain\, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren’t the heroes everyone thinks they are. \nBut as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle\, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona’s powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.” \nAnd here are some reviews: \n“If you’re going to read one graphic novel this year\, make it this one.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review) \n“Nimona\, with all her flaws\, breaks away completely from what women are allowed to be in popular fiction.” – Vanity Fair \n“From its first panel\, Nimona draws you into a narrative combining shark jokes\, a shadowy institution and a startling amount of heart. So whether you’re young or old\, a comics newbie or a seasoned veteran\, make the decision to explore the fantastical world Stevenson has created. You won’t regret it.” – Paste Magazine \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of September!

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Witches in the Grimms' Fairy Tales
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a time\, there was a witch. She was beautiful and powerful. She was frightening and dangerous. She was everything people feared and everything many of them wanted to be. \nOn September 30th at 6:45PM ET\, folklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman discuss the versatile figure of the witch in the folkloric medium of the fairy tale. Using the collection of the Brothers Grimm\, Cleto and Warman explore the many distinctive witches they gave us and their relationships to self-determination\, community\, and nature. Then Cleto and Warman focus on the witches who appear in five fairy tales: “Rapunzel\,” “Hansel and Gretel\,” “The Three Spinners\,” “Frau Trude\,” and “All Kinds of Fur.” By illuminating different aspects of the figure of the witch as she appears in the Grimms’ tales\, they demonstrate the complexity and power that characterize her\, even within a single collection of stories. \nThese witches represent the many ways of being a woman in the world and are a rich repository of education\, inspiration\, and enchantment\, Cleto and Warman say. \nClick here to grab your tickets!

SUMMARY:The November Book Club - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 26th at 7PM ET to talk about the incredible novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab! \nHere’s the description: \n“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. \nThus 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. \nBut everything changes when\, after nearly 300 years\, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.” \nAnd here are some of the excellent reviews: \n“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 \n“Addie Larue is a book perfectly suspended between darkness and light\, myth and reality. [This novel] is―ironically―unforgettable.” – Alix E. Harrow \n“Sweeping in its scope yet wonderfully intimate\, it’s dark and sexy yet romantic and heartbreaking.” – Rebecca Roanhorse \n“Rich and satisfying.” – Kirkus Reviews\, Starred Review \n“A knockout.” – Publishers Weekly\, Starred Review \nAnd probably our favorite –> \n“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 \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of November!

SUMMARY:The December Book Club - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
DESCRIPTION: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! \nJoin 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! \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of December!

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Chilling Holiday Folklore
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this event has been rescheduled from December 5th to December 18th!! \nThese days\, the December holidays usually center on joyous magic\, warm evenings curled up by the fire\, and celebrations of the good in the world. Traditionally\, however\, the winter season also ushers in the terrors of the dark and the cold\, teaching us to bar doors\, whisper warnings\, and\, above all\, to be “good for goodness’ sake.” \nFolklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman explore an array of chilling holiday folklore from around the world\, beginning with the increasingly famous German Krampus who visits children who don’t make the “nice” list. Hear tales of the Icelandic Jólakötturinn\, a gigantic cat that devours naughty children\, and learn how to best the Welsh Mari Lwyd\, a skeletal horse with a taste for song and poetry. Get to know the Eastern European Christmas witch Frau Perchta and trace the history of the sometimes mischievous\, sometimes terrifying Yule Lads and their monstrous mother\, Grýla. \nCleto and Warman share insights into the darker side of holiday lore\, reintroducing you to a more complex vision of winter\, one that’s easy to forget in an increasingly hectic and standardized season. \nClick here to grab your tickets!

SUMMARY:The February Book Club - The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHere’s the write up –  \n“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. \nAs 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. \nBut 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. \nAs 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….” \nAnd here’s what people are saying –  \n“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] \n“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 \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of February!

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Sleeping Beauty - Once Upon a Dream
DESCRIPTION:You probably think you know the story of the cursed girl hidden away in the castle overgrown with thorns. There’s an evil\, jealous fairy and a magical spinning wheel\, and it all turns out well due to true love’s kiss. It’s one of our most famous\, well-loved\, and most often retold fairy tales. But “Sleeping Beauty” actually has a long and complicated past\, one filled with goddesses\, magic rings\, astrology\, and atrocities far beyond anything you’d ever see in a Disney film. \n“Sleeping Beauty” has existed in countless versions around the world\, and its roots go back to at least early French medieval texts. We can even connect it to earlier stories about the seasons. The idea of the beauty of nature undergoing a temporary death in the autumn\, only to return to life with the arrival of spring\, is a cross-cultural concept perhaps best exemplified by the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone. It’s also easily applied to the story of the cursed sleeping maiden who reawakens to a world born anew. This is a tale that repeatedly raises questions of cycles\, propriety\, and what love really means. \nFolklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman of the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic explore “Sleeping Beauty” on February 25th\, 2025 at 6:45PM\, delving into how people tell the story around the world\, what changes it has undergone\, and how it has been retold to tackle new ideas in recent times. What captivates us so much about this tale\, and how might we take possibly the most passive fairy-tale princess of all and make her relevant for modern audiences? The lecture also includes a few prompts for audience interaction. \nClick here to get your tickets!

SUMMARY:The March Book Club - The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 25\, 2025 at 7PM ET to discuss Jen Wang’s beautiful fairy-tale graphic novel\, The Prince and the Dressmaker! \nHere’s the description: \n“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! \nSebastian’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.” \nWe LOVED this story. Here are some reviews: \n“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 \n“Gorgeously dense artwork\, lively sense of movement\, effervescent fashions\, sweet romance\, and heartwarming denouement.” ―Booklist [Starred Review] \n“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] \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of March!

SUMMARY:The April Book Club - Divining the Leaves by Shveta Thakrar
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHere’s the description: \n“Plant-loving Ridhi Kapadia and popular Nilesh Batra were friends once. \nNow\, 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. \nAfter 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. \nFurious\, 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. \nBut 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.” \nAnd here are just a few of the beautiful reviews this book has received: \n“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 \n“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] \n“Thakrar’s Hindu- and Buddhist-inspired story with a primarily Indian cast is overflowing with lush\, sensual imagery… [an] undeniably beautiful fantasy.”— Kirkus Reviews \nIf you haven’t come to a book club where an author joins us before\, you’re in for a real treat! you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of April!

SUMMARY:The May Book Club - The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHere’s the description: \n“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. \nTheir 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 . . . \nAn 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.” \nSounds perfect for a lot of us\, right? \n“Cats\, books\, young love\, and adventure: catnip for a variety of readers!” – Kirkus Reviews \n“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 \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of May!

SUMMARY:The June Book Club - Weep\, Woman\, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
DESCRIPTION: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! \n(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”!) \nHere’s the description: \n“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. \nMercy 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. \nIn 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.” \nPlease note that this book does come with content warnings for assault\, domestic violence\, racism\, and colorism.  \nHere are couple of the excellent reviews this book has received: \n“This may be one of the more compelling\, beautiful books that I’ve read this year…An unexpected joy.” ~ Melissa on Goodreads \n“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 \nSounds 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! \nBook club sessions where the author joins us are always really special – if you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of June!

SUMMARY:The July Patreon Fairy-Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Hello everyone! Here is all the information for our July Fairy-Tale Salon – \nDate: July 3rd at 7PM ET \nPrompt: Movie Night: THE MUMMY! \nQuest: It’s time for another salonnières movie night\, and we’re doing a SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER (but folklore style!) We’re coming together to watch the 1990s classic\, The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser at the peak of his heartthrob era and Rachel Weisz as the librarian we all secretly aspire to be. We know it’s not perfect\, but we still love it (and we will die on the hill that this movie is a feminist triumph… from the 90s no less! We don’t have a lot of those.) \nTo join us\, you’ll log on to the Zoom link the same as usual\, we’ll all mute and start the film\, then we’ll use the chat there to talk throughout the movie. Please note that we do expect everyone to shout “I… AM A LIBRARIAN!” at the appropriate moment ;). \nIf you’d like to participate\, just make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher for the month of July – see you soon!

SUMMARY:The July Book Club - But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
DESCRIPTION: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. \nBut 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. \nWe cannot emphasize enough: content warning for spiders. If you cannot do spiders\, skip this one! \nHere’s the official writeup: \n“The Shape of Water meets Mexican Gothic in this sapphic monster romance novella wrapped in gothic fantasy trappings. \nThe 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. \nBut 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.” \nHere are some of the reviews: \n“An intoxicating feast for anyone who has found beauty in the monstrous.”―Cassandra Khaw \n“Pueyo weaves an exquisite web of a tale\, full of enigmatic characters\, eerie atmosphere and all-consuming passion.”―Laura Pohl \n“Pueyo knows exactly how to blend darkness and evil with cuteness and gorgeous prose. . . . A master of Latin American dark fiction.”―Renan Bernardo \nWe 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! \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of July!

SUMMARY:Whispers and Warnings: The Secret Trip Into Faerie They Don't Want You To Know About - A FREE Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Want to run away to Fairyland? \nWe don’t blame you. \nBut here’s the thing. Faerie isn’t a land of sparkles and rainbows. It’s dangerous\, seductive\, and beguiling. We’re not saying don’t enter the realm—we’re saying you gotta be prepared. \nWe’re saying bring snacks and don’t eat theirs. \nJoin two professional folklorists (yes\, we got actual PhDs in this stuff) for the secret trip into Faerie they don’t want you to know about—where lore meets chaos\, glamor meets trickery\, and the truth is weirder (and wilder) than you think. \nThis isn’t just “believe in magic” energy. This is “here’s the citation” energy. \nWhether you’re new to the world of Faerie or you’ve stepped into more than a few mushroom circles in your day\, this is for you. \nCome curious. Leave enchanted. Possibly changed. \n\n\n\nClick here to get all the details and register for this FREE\, live talk on July 14th at 7PM ET (will be recorded!)
