Soulbound Books

07/24/2026

We're BACK! After a few weeks off, Soulbound is officially back at the market. The table is packed with serious firepower this week: space operas, cosmic horror, memory thieves, and a fresh haul of Dungeon Crawler Carl stickers that are NOT going to last. Come find us tomorrow and we'll guide you to your next great sci-fi adventure

Swipe through, then come say hi 👇

Operation Bounce House — Matt Dinniman brings the chaos again. If you know, you know. If you don't, ask us — we'll help you join the cult!

ALSO we just got a huge haul of DCC stickers in and they are going FAST.

Kindred × The Dispossessed — 50th anniversary editions of two of the greatest sci-fi writers of all time, both women, both sitting on our table together right now. If you haven't read these yet, get here fast — these are the editions you want.

Volatile Memory — Seth Haddon does space opera with teeth. And talons?

Shroud — Adrian Tchaikovsky asks what's down there in the dark.

Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep — Paul Tremblay's newest. For fans of the late great PKD.
...Jimothy?

But seriously, the 10th anniversary edition of VanderMeer's Southern Reach opener is gorgeous and unsettling in equal measure.

Leviathan Wakes — the book that started The Expanse. If you loved the show, the source material's even richer.

The Three-Body Problem — Aliens mess with Earth physics experiments remotely to halt human scientific progress so they can steal the planet. Physicists freak TF out. Hugo winner!

A Resistance of Witches — Witches???? Fighting N***S?? YES PLEASE.

The Story Keeper — brand new this week! A house, a mystery, a story that won't stay buried.

The Traveler — time, memory, and the ache of watching it all slip. Bonus: the main character's based right here in Madison.

Grumpy Monkey: Up All Night — also brand new this week — for the tiny humans who also refuse to go to bed. A farmers market staple in the making.

We’re so excited to partner with Young Blood at their DeForest Taproom for Books & Brews on July 28th! From 3-8 PM, you can come drink beer and grab a book (and we, for one, can’t think of a much better combo).

We’ll be there with newly released titles plus a curated selection of brewery-themed reads to keep you sipping and turning the page.

Thank you to The Langholf and Fort Atkinson for hosting such an incredible event.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, browsed our books (swipe for our best sellers from the weekend), told us your stories and got delightfully nostalgic with us by playing Fantasy M.A.S.H. (check out our stories for a recap!)

Small business dreams are made of days like this one. See you next year ❤️

New day, new books!! Come see us for expertly curated Sci-Fi/Fantasy picks and new releases

Canterbury Tales but make it space. Most alarming and terrifying reimagining of a bird I've ever seen.

Gorgeous new cover of a classic - if you haven't read this one yet this is the copy to pick up

Hugo award winner. The earth is the villain.

Bad ass FMC, dark and broody MMC, fast paced and action packed.

Aliens mess with physics experiments remotely to stop humans from advancing so they can take our planet. Physicists do not react well.

Katie's favorite romantasy. Cozy, relatable and hilarious.

Super excited about this one. Biography of an actress who gets involved with a health CULT that drives her to a place where she can no longer discern reality from fiction.

Duology quick read. 10/10 emotional damage.
..Jimothy?

If you find yourself wishing PKD were here to write about our current AI era, this book is for you.

Books & Blooms wrapped with the best kind of ending: a winner! 🎉

Congratulations to Christa Harding , who walked away with her own custom gift basket — her pick of books (including a gorgeous sprayed-edge Wild Reverence), plus a candle and Secret Garden vase to match.

Thank you to everyone who came through today, registered, and made this collaboration with Leaf & Bloom such a joy.

See you at the next one. 📚🌸

Tomorrow's the day! Books & Blooms starts at 3 PM, and we could not be more ready.

Every flower arrangement you're seeing in this carousel was put together by Dabrielle from Leaf & Bloom in under two minutes. We watched her do it. If you've ever wondered what real floral talent looks like in real time, come see her work tomorrow.

Alongside her arrangements, we'll have sprayed-edge editions, curated favorite reads, and complimentary drinks to sip while you browse. Pop in and out as you please, no RSVP required — but there's still time to register via the link in our bio, and doing so gets you entered in our 5 PM drawing for a gift basket you'll get to customize yourself, flowers by Dabrielle plus your pick of books and goodies (pictured here is just a sample of what's possible!).

3:00–6:00 PM tomorrow, July 14. Register now, we'll see you soon!
