An Enchanting Evening with Lucy Jane Wood in conversation with Autumn Woods, Monday 22 September at 7pm
Join them to celebrate bestselling author of Rewitched, Lucy Jane Wood, for her new spellbinding cosy fantasy Uncharmed!
Annie Wildwood is practically perfect, in every witch way. Her life is a haze of pink, magic and impossibly high standards, but when she is tasked with mentoring a troubled teenage witch with extraordinary powers, Annie’s charmed existence is quickly thrown into utter chaos.
Set in the same enchanting world as Rewitched, Uncharmed celebrates found family, unconditional love and the joy of swapping perfectionism and people pleasing for being your true, magical self.
Lucy will be in conversation with Autumn Woods, aerospace engineer by day, romance author by evening and weekend, whose debut Nightshade was published in June 2025.

20 Years of Twilight!, Tuesday 30 September at 6.30pm
Few series have captured the hearts of YA readers like Stephenie Meyer‘s global phenomenon saga, and they’d love to celebrate the 20th anniversary since its original publication!
Team Edward and Team Jacob are invited to remember and enjoy sharing with other fans, and grab a copy of the gorgeous new deluxe edition. They can’t promise sparkly-skinned vampires nor hot-tempered werewolves but there’ll be quiz, discussion, games and (bloody) cocktails!
