A huge thank you to everyone who attended our very first Local Author Book Fair! We are grateful for our amazing book-loving community for showing up and our wonderful local authors for bringing their stories to share.
Congratulations!
We want to congratulate local author H. R. Cole for her novel, Daughter of the Void, winning yet another award! It has been an absolute pleasure to watch this romance fantasy book gaining ever more fans and awards ever since its debut.
Children’s Section Under Construction
If you’ve had the chance to visit recently, you may have noticed that there is a bit of work happening in our children’s books section. Under construction is our Children’s Book Nook! In true Spellbound fashion, we are creating a whimsical piece of a fairytale forest right here in the bookstore. Keep an eye on our social media for an announcement of its completion! In the meantime, the rest of the children’s section is still open for shopping.

Featured Book
Wintering by Katherine May
This is a personal read of one woman’s journey through a difficult chapter of her life. Katherine realistically reframes the everyday into wonders. She embraces the difficulty of the transitions with a calm, slow pace and learns to care for herself in order to care for others. This is a personal journey but the setting is also a lovely character, with the sea and a trip to Iceland included. (My favorite!)
A timely read for a stormy, cold month.
