A Retreat of Reading and Revelry - January 5-8, 2026 - Coastal Massachusetts
A weekend at the Townhouse with the Sidra on the air!
A Retreat of Reading and Revelry
Any fantasy fan waited SOOOO LONG for Book 6 (IYKYK) from a certain series- but we’ve been blessed by the cauldron because Book 7 is right on its heels in January. So we needed a weekend to celebrate- because who knows when we’ll get our next installment!
Our next reading retreat weekend: A RETREAT OF READING AND REVELRY is a fantasy-inspired escape designed for those who feel most at home wandering enchanted forests, lingering in candlelit libraries, and losing themselves in stories filled with powerful courts, fierce heroines, impossible bargains, and unforgettable found families.
This special weekend celebrates the release of a highly anticipated fantasy novel while inviting you to fully immerse yourself in the magic of reading.
Expect cozy reading hours, themed gatherings, whimsical food and drink, and playful nods to beloved fantasy tropes that fans will recognize instantly.
Throughout the retreat you’ll discover quiet places to devour your newest read, lively discussions with fellow fantasy lovers, and immersive moments that feel pulled straight from the pages of your favorite book.
What to Expect:
Starfall Celebration Night
An evening of starlight, music, laughter, and magic. Celebrate beneath twinkling lights with themed drinks and delicious bites.
Silent Reading Parties
Cozy up with your new book alongside fellow readers in candlelit comfort. Think blankets, warm drinks, and that magical quiet where everyone is lost in their own story.
Courts & Characters Conversations
Gather with fellow fantasy readers to talk theories, favorite characters, and the moments that absolutely wrecked us (you know the ones).
Fantasy-Inspired Food & Drink
Meals and beverages will be crafted to feel like they belong in a fae court banquet—sparkling drinks, decadent treats, and menus worthy of starlight celebrations and magical feasts.
Immersive Activities & Surprises
From themed games to creative workshops and magical little details hidden throughout the weekend, you’ll find plenty of moments designed just for fantasy readers.
