Cozy Quillers! Our April book club pick is Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto and I can't wait to dive into this cozy mystery with you!

A little about the book:

Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady--ah, lady of a certain age--who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco's Chinatown.

Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to.

Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing--a dead man in the middle of her tea shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. Vera doesn't know what comes over her, but after calling the cops like any good citizen would, she sort of . . . swipes the flash drive from the body and tucks it safely into the pocket of her apron. Why? Because Vera is sure she would do a better job than the police possibly could, because nobody sniffs out a wrongdoing quite like a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands.

Vera knows the killer will be back for the flash drive; all she has to do is watch the increasing number of customers at her shop and figure out which one among them is the killer. What Vera does not expect is to form friendships with her customers and start to care for each and every one of them. As a protective mother hen, will she end up having to give one of her newfound chicks to the police?

For those new to the Cozy Quill, we host our book club discussions in our members-only Discord under the Book Club category. The format is very much like the Fable App, if you're familiar. Basically, we create 2-3 chapter clumps for you to pop into to discuss the story as you're reading.

We don't do a live event around book club, but if you would like to host a virtual discussion, let myself or our Discord mods know and we'll get that set up for you!

NOTE: This book is a step outside our usual cozy fantasy vibes, but I've heard such great things about this story. All content warnings are listed in Storygraph, and if this feels a bit too much this month, we'll see you in the next one.

Happy reading,

Meg

Hello friends! Just a few fun updates for you on our Twig's Traveling Tomes process. It's been an active month behind the scenes and we have SO MUCH to celebrate. Here's a few highlights:

COVER DESIGN:
As we were wrapping up the cover art, we realized that Everett wasn't standing out as much as we'd like. So with a few key adjustments we went from this:

To THIS:

I think the pop of blue really helps highlight our scrappy rogue and can't WAIT to see this in person and in YOUR hands! What do you think of the change?


BLURBS:

We were so fortunate this year to receive DREAM blurbs for Twig's! You'll begin to see them used in our marketing and you'll see them on your physical ARCs soon, which is exciting.

One of my FAVORITE moments of this entire process was hopping on the phone with Gryffin the moment I heard a very special blurb come in.

If you'd like to see the video of that call, CLICK HERE!

Here's what our favorite cozy authors are saying about Twigs:

"Whimsical and wonderful, Twig's Traveling Tomes is a delightful treat for book lovers in search of a charming escape!" - Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of THE SPELLSHOP

"Have you ever fallen in love while tumbling into a comfortable armchair with a crackling fire, and cup of tea waiting for you? If not, then this is the book you should read to experience it!" - Delemhach, bestselling author of the House Witch  

"Full of found family and flirty banter, Twig’s Traveling Tomes puts a fun spin on the idea that books really can take you anywhere. This world-hopping quest with a charming band of misfits is delightfully chaotic and inventive, and will make you wish for your own magical traveling bookshop (and a good grappling hook)!" - Julie Leong, USA Today bestselling author of The Keeper of Magical Things

And we have MORE where that came from! Such a joy seeing this sweet story land with authors that have championed the genre. I couldn't be prouder of Gryffin and all the work that's led her here. She deserves every bit of this celebration and praise!

AUDIO BOOK:
I'm DELIGHTED to announce that there will be an audio book releasing for Twig's as well! We're over the moon about this news and will be partnering with RB Media (Recorded Books imprint) to publish later this year. I will keep you updated as we start the narrator hunt, but I'm confident that this team will find the perfect person to voice Louella's adventures. More to come!

BOOK BOX WINNER:
And finally, it's time to share our March Book Box winner! If you're new to SBC, each month I randomly choose a winner to receive a curated book box I make just for you. It's one of my favorite things we do here!

Today I'm delighted to announce that mickeybooklore is our March winner! Mickey, you should see an email in your inbox already, but all you need to do is fill out that form and I'll get you your box asap. Thank you so much for being a part of this cozy community!

That's all for now, friends. Looking forward to more updates soon and a LIVE interview with Gryffin to catch up and answer any questions about the process so far. Will keep you in the loop once that's scheduled.

xx,

Meg

It's time to populate our MARCH Cozy Quill/Traveling Tomes Newsletter with all your creative inspirations! Hopefully you were able to glance at the newsletter sent out yesterday and get an idea of what we're building. It will continue to grow and sharpen up, but it felt so meaningful! Thank you to all who submitted in February.

Our March theme is: A GENTLE THAW🍃. The Spring season is upon us and with it comes a thawing and an awakening. I wanted to feel that in the newsletter this month, so feel free to fill it with any examples of light entering, growth happening, and all the good things blooming.

Feel free to share: 

  • A small sign of growth or change in your life (big or tiny) that made you smile this month.

  • A cozy ritual, hobby, or creative moment that helps you feel lighter as winter thaws.

  • A book rec, piece of writing, or project that has a theme of blooming or becoming.

  • A photo of something emerging, blooming, or just quietly beautiful around you.

  • A recipe that suits the spring.

If you'd like to submit a piece for the newsletter, I'll be accepting through Friday, March 27th. The newsletter will be released to all of our Cozy Quill tiers at the beginning of the following month.

If your submission isn't chosen due to space limitations or whatever reason, please know we'll be creating a channel in the Discord to share those as well if you permit.

All the info you need is in the form below, but please don't hesitate to comment below with any questions. xx, Meg
