Briarbook Lane and our Enchanted Garden book club now have a community on Discord! Join us to chat about reading, writing, and all things fairy-tale. We'll be selecting the first book pick for 2022 soon, so now's the time to dive in and let us know what fairy tale novel you'd like to see us cover next.

This quarter, for our sixth book club pick and the third quarterly pick of 2021, we are discussing House of Salt and Sorrows, a "Twelve Dancing Princesses" retelling by Erin A. Craig. We've already shared our individual reviews (find Mary's here & Elizabeth's here), and now it's time for us to discuss the book and respond to the six questions we cover with each book club discussion.

Remember that you can join in this discussion, whether by commenting here or on YouTube, or by joining our Enchanted Garden Book Club Facebook group!

When we first started Briarbook Lane, we knew we wanted to run an associated book club, so that at the very least the two of us could read, review, and discuss a book together every few months. We are both very much fans of fairy tales, and so it was easy for us to decide that we'd like to theme this book club after fairy-tale retellings.

Join us in reading this fairy-tale retelling over the next few months! In March, Mary and Elizabeth will each share a review of this novel. Then, they will discuss the book and share their discussion here. You can join the discussion as you read by joining our Facebook group!
