Leaves & Literacy Book Club (October 2026)

Leaf & Petal has our very own book club! Headed up by Maeve and Georgia (usually), Leaves & Literacy is a chance to discover and discuss new books, drink delicious tea, and get an exclusive handmade item!

3. Come to the book club meeting at Leaf & Petal the first or second Tuesday of each month (this meeting will be November 10th) where you will discuss the book, enjoy tea and refreshments (provided free of charge), get a 20% discount to shop, and get FIRST chance at signing up for the next month's book club.

About We Have Always Lived in the Castle: 

Shirley Jackson's beloved gothic tale of a peculiar girl named Merricat and her family's dark secret

Taking readers deep into a labyrinth of dark neurosis, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate. This edition features a new introduction by Jonathan Lethem.
