July Book Clubs ……Whether you’re looking for an adults-only night out with fellow fantasy readers or a way to create lasting memories with your kids, Wisp Bookshop has a book club for you!
📖 Adult Book Club
July Pick: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
🗓 Monday, July 27 | 7:00–9:00 PM
Our adult book club is more than just talking about a book—it’s an experience. Expect themed activities, trivia, games, photo opportunities, great conversations, light refreshments, and a room full of people who love fantasy just as much as you do. Every month is a different adventure!
How it works:
✨ Purchase the Book of the Month through Wisp Bookshop to receive:
• Guaranteed early access to tickets
• A discounted ticket price
• A chance to support your local indie bookstore
Founders also receive early ticket access as part of their membership. Any remaining tickets are released to the public after early access ends.

📚 Family Book Club
July Pick: The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
🗓 Celebration: Sunday, August 2 | 4:30–6:00 PM
Our Family Book Club is designed to make reading together fun and stress-free! When you purchase the monthly book through Wisp, you’ll receive an optional reading guide that includes:
💚 A family-friendly reading schedule
💚 Discussion questions after each reading
💚 Optional activities to do together
Then, at the beginning of the following month, families come together at Wisp Bookshop to celebrate the story with activities, crafts, discussion, and light refreshments. You don’t have to finish the book to join us—we’d still love to see you!
The goal is simple: build community, create magical memories, and help families fall in love with reading together.
I can’t wait to welcome both new and returning Wispies this month. Which adventure are you joining us for?💚
✨ Meet Wispie! ✨
Wispie is our very special adventure companion, and she’s ready to be checked out—just like a library book!
One lucky family will take Wispie home to share in everyday magic, create special memories, and bring her along on an adventure. Before returning her to Wisp Bookshop, snap a few photos of your family’s day together. We’ll add them to Wispie’s Adventure Album so everyone can see the magical places she’s been!
Interested in bringing Wispie home?
Stop by the shop to add your family’s name to the drawing! Every weekend, I’ll draw one lucky family to take Wispie on her next adventure.
A very special thank you to Sam—one of our amazing Book Club members and a Wisp Founder—for lovingly creating Wispie and bringing her to life. She is already so loved, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the magic and talent Sam shared with our community. 💚
And for everyone who’s already fallen in love with Wispie… good news! Medium-sized Wispies and Wispie keychains will soon be available in the shop, so you can bring a little piece of Wisp magic home with you.
I can’t wait to see where her magic takes her next! 💚✨

Wisp will be closed tomorrow for the holiday, but will be open again on Sunday, July 5th with normal hours: 10a-6p. Hope you all have a day spent with those who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved! If you need an escape, dive into a book in a cool space ;). See you Sunday!
I hope everyone had such a great time this past Monday for our June “book club” … I think it should be called fantasy monthly event at this point lol.
Thank you to everyone who dressed up, completed quests, and just enjoyed life/time with friends. Watching this community laugh, compete, and completely commit to the adventure is exactly why we do this every month.
A huge thank you to Gibby Center for the Arts for hosting the first half of our adventure and helping make this event possible. All the proceeds will help fund more amazing events they host throughout the year! We appreciate your partnership so much!
And, of course, thank you to Matt Dinniman for creating such a wildly imaginative story that brought a room full of strangers together for a fun unhinged night!
Lastly, thanks to everyone who volunteered their time to help set-up and make this event happen - I love you all so much. This community is everything! And to my hubby, 1440 Film Co., for this edit with the amazing Soundbooth Theater Princess Donut cover 🔥….. Until the next quest… Achievement Unlocked: Another unforgettable Wisp Book Club.
If you stop by the shop and catch me reading… just know I’ve been completely consumed by Book 5: The Lion & The Deathless Dark in the Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent
So if I don’t hear you the first time… it’s not personal. 😂
This incredible book releases August 4th - and trust me, you’ll want to add it to your TBR. 🖤 You can pre-order your copy on my website - check the link in my bio!
Huge thank you to Tor Publishing Group for the advance copy!
My to-do list: Miles long.
My ADHD by 6PM: 🎶 Do you want the house tour? 🎶 (To my defense, I WAS cleaning first. As soon as this song came on…game over lol)
Anyway, welcome to Delaware’s first fantasy-only indie bookshop. ✨📚💚
Jean jacket edit - alright, have you been collecting our book club patches each month? You can add them to the Wisp tote, crewneck and/or … the jean jacket! Comes with the Wisp Bookshop patch - you can choose where to place it! Our DCC June patch will be announced soon and I’ll share as a pre-order. Special thanks to some of our community members who modeled - Kristy, Megan P., Christina W., and John.
Did you miss the paperback opening? No worries, the Grand Opening will be on Sunday, June 7th at 11am. Park at the town municipal building behind 24 W. Main St. Unit C Middletown, DE. I’ve partnered with other small businesses and authors to make the day even more magical. I will be releasing their info leading up to the event. For now, our online shop is open - all links are in my bio 💚 Can’t wait for book club on Tuesday where we will celebrate opening and (ticket required)! 🎥: Thanks hubby 🥰,
Guess what???? If you planned on coming to the truck today, come to the brick-and-mortar instead! It’s a soft opening…. Paperback opening ?? lol. Either way, 10a-4p 24 W. Main Street Unit C Middletown, DE 19709. Grand opening on June 7th 11a.
I guess I now know why that “found family” is my favorite trope… I am so thankful so many of you have become family and good friends during the journey of finding myself again. You all truly are the light on some dark days and outside of my immediate family, the ones I now know that I can rely on. My hope is that you too have found your “chosen family” and a place of acceptance, unhinged conversations that make you giggle, with a sprinkle of mush that makes you feel that you belong.
