Celebrate ACOTAR with two more amazing events!

Nov 10: First, join GH at yogaonstatesycamore on Tues 10th at 6pm for a Valkyrie training session! Trainer Cori will focus on balance, breath, and stillness. You’ll be surrounded by candlelight and the Golden Hour sisterhood. Limited to 20 trainees, reservation required- book at our link in comments. Shop ACOTAR merch before and after class, and take home a Valkyrie goodie bag.

Nov 15th: Then, join us at The Greenhouse for an A Court of Splintered Harmony Book Discussion on Sunday 15th from 1-2pm. The Suriel has spilled enough tea, now it’s our turn! Come ready to spill the tea with fellow readers over a cup of your own! We’ll discuss our favorite moments, characters, unexpected twists, lingering questions, and theories about what comes next in book 7, A Court of Forgotten Melody. Arrive early to grab a drink, and snag a seat!

After Halloween Storytime (Sat 10-10:30) I’m going to stick around to sell our remaining ALEX AND ANI ACOTAR jewelry collection. Attendees to the ACOSH midnight release party got first pick and 16 pieces of jewelry went home! I’ll only be selling these online or in-person due to the high possibility of theft, so if you’ve been considering a piece, or just want to check out these beautiful pieces in-person, now’s your chance. As a thank you, the first eight purchasers can select a mini Pegasus gift from the House of Wind. Do it for the Miniature Pegasus!

Happy ACOTAR Book 6 Day!!! Welcome to the Mass-verse A Court of Splintered Harmony!

While I’m sold out (you can still grab a copy for your other local Sycamore bookstore Hidden Chapter Bookshop), I wanted to see if anyone was interested in buying a ln ACOSH bedazzling kit from me for just $12. Kit would include glue, tweezers, a palette, a wax picker pencil, and all the colors, sizes and styles you’d need to accent the background, and font.

Let me know if you think I should offer these!
