About this Event
Join us for a spooky, magical evening as we dive into a selected romantasy read and chat about everything from epic love stories and morally grey characters to magic, kingdoms, curses, and all the swoon-worthy moments in between.
Halloween costumes are encouraged! Come dressed as your favorite character, creature, witch, villain, or anything else that feels suitably magical, spooky, or romantasy-inspired. 🧙♀️🧛♀️👻
You’ll also get to embrace the Halloween spirit by painting your own pumpkin or Candle, creating a fun and festive little piece of autumn magic to take home with you. 🎃 Whether you go spooky, whimsical, romantic, or completely chaotic, make it your own!
We’ll end the meet with a Romantasy Blind Date Book Exchange. You can bring your own romantasy book (brand new or gently used), wrapped with a short teaser and any relevant trigger warnings clearly noted on the front, or opt for us to provide one for you. Be sure to select the correct ticket type when registering.
