📚✨ TWO MONTHS, TWO NEW READS!

We’re so excited to announce our Book Club picks for October and November! 🍂☕️

🎭 October: If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio
At an elite arts conservatory, seven Shakespearean actors find their friendships unraveling when rivalry, secrets, and betrayal lead to murder. A dark academia mystery full of twists and unreliable narrators!

🍁 November: There There by Tommy Orange
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we're exploring this powerful novel following twelve Native American characters whose lives intersect at the Big Oakland Powwow. A moving story of identity, community, generational trauma, and resilience.

Whether you're joining us for one month or both, we can't wait to dive into these stories together! 🤎

NEW RELEASE TUESDAY!! 📚🍂✨
Nothing makes us happier than adding brand-new books to our shelves—and today’s lineup is GOOD. 👀
From the long-awaited return of Pachinko author Min Jin Lee, to a new fall romance from Lynn Painter, some seriously creepy horror, and even a return to Basgiath (!!), there’s a little something for every reader in this week’s releases. 🐉☕️🍁
Swipe through to meet the newest additions to The Books Cellar, then stop by and grab the one calling your name! 🤎📖
Which one are you reading first?! 👇

🐉 THRESHING DAY — Rebecca Yarros
Back to Basgiath we go! Thirteen stories revisit one legendary Threshing Day through familiar characters—including Xaden—and reveal the moments when riders and dragons first chose each other.

✨ THE RADIANCE — Ayad Akhtar
After a near-fatal hit-and-run triggers an unexpected spiritual awakening, a writer becomes caught between revelation and madness. A thought-provoking story of mystery, desire, faith, and what might remain when life fractures.

🍎 TRUST FALL — Lynn Painter
A small-town girl inherits a fortune and is thrown into New York City’s elite world, where a mysterious boy with a major secret turns everything upside down. A cozy, fall-in-NYC enemies-to-lovers rom-com from the author of Better Than the Movies!

🏡 TRAD WIFE — Sarah Langan
A journalist sets out to expose the truth behind a picture-perfect trad wife influencer—only to discover something much darker hiding beneath her idyllic life. Social media, secrets, and seriously unsettling horror.

🍂 AMERICAN HAGWON — Min Jin Lee
From the author of Pachinko, a sweeping family saga follows a Korean family from Seoul to Sydney to Southern California as they navigate ambition, education, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a better life

📚✨Books, candles & a little local love!✨🕯️

We had the best time heading over to Wick A Candle Bar for their **Pour, Create & Read** night! We got to set up, sell some of our favorite books, and support another local Jacksonville business while doing what we love. 🤍

There’s nothing better than seeing local businesses come together, create a community, and make a night out of it! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to shop with us and hang out. 📚☕️🕯️
