✨ January 2026 Book Club Pick Announcement ✨

I’m so excited to officially announce our January 2026 Book Club Pick:

Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz 🌿💐

This cozy fantasy leans fully into whimsy, redemption, and soft magic. Set in the charming town of Dragon’s Rest, the story follows Violet, a plant witch whose reputation as a so-called “villain” doesn’t quite match the reality of who she’s becoming. Think vibrant flowers, sentient plants, gentle romance, and a warm, comforting atmosphere that feels like a hug in book form.Visually and thematically, the novel carries strong “thornwitch” vibes softened into kindness—where sharp edges give way to growth, healing, and second chances. From Violet’s flower shop to the quiet magic woven into everyday life, this story is perfect for readers who love cozy fantasy with heart, humor, and emotional depth.

If you’re craving:

🌱 Whimsical, low-stakes fantasy

💕 Cozy romance and redemption arcs

🪴 Plant magic and charming small-town settings

…this one is absolutely for you.
