More Magic Fantasy Book Club

It's time to feel wonder again.

Have you found yourself in a reading slump? Do you keep picking up books that leave you depressed and uninspired?

Maybe you need more magic in your life.

This fantasy-only book club meets each month to discuss a new fantasy read. We follow the same schedule as the More Magic Book Club (I host on this on Substack along with the More Magic podcast) to make things easy.

The 2026 schedule:

January - The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
February - The Incandescent by Emily Tesh
March - Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett
April - A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan
May - The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin
June - Circe by Madeline Miller
July - The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
August - The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet
September - Hekate by Nikita Gill
October - Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
November - Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher
December - Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

If any of the titles interest you, grab a copy, give it a read, and join us to share your thoughts! I'll bring discussion topics to get the conversation going.

Be kind and considerate in your discussion. The book might be someone's favorite, and it's no fun to have someone rip apart something you love.

If you are unable to attend in person but still want to participate, join us on Storygraph! Each book will have its own Buddy Read on Storygraph. You can find all of the links in this post on Substack, and the Storygraph link will also be shared in the Meetup event once it's scheduled.

We tend to meet the third or fourth Saturday of the month for book club, and we will have a few other types of events in 2026. If there are any you'd like to see, please take this quick survey to provide feedback!

I'm looking forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts on the books!
