Our semi-monthly Romantasy book club features reads that are steamy, dreamy, and adventurous! This club is for readers who love epic fantasy worlds and swoon-worthy love stories: think fierce heroines, morally gray love interests, slow burns, and high stakes.
This book club meets semi-monthly at the shop– in January, March, May, July, September, and November, to be exact-- to discuss our reading selection, sharing perspectives and conversation around the book and its themes.
For the month of July, we are reading Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon.
This steamy fantasy romance set in the Critical Role universe (a DND-inspired world), following Guinevere, a merchant's sheltered daughter who yearns for adventure, and Oskar, a brooding half-orc wanderer. After bandits attack her caravan on the dangerous Amber Road, Guinevere is forced to travel with Oskar, leading to sizzling tension and forbidden love between the unlikely pair. As they journey together, the couple faces mercenaries and magical dangers while deciding whether to choose their expected, separate futures or fight for a shared happily ever after.
And we’ve got a BIG surprise for you this month!! This book club will be lovingly co-hosted with Danville’s very own Khaos Legacy Tabletop Gaming & More! These guys are the pros when it comes to DND, and they’ll be on site for cosplay photos and participating in our discussion. After our book discussion, they’ll lead a micro DND game set in Exandria! Perfect for beginners with ZERO prior knowledge of DND or for experienced players, this micro session will give players an opportunity to engage with the world of Tusk Love in a whole new way!
