Book Curator Book Club
Curated like a secret. Read like a ritual.
Book Curator is a free book club and literary lifestyle community guided by independent bookstore owner Nicole Ihasz, designed to help you discover books you’ll truly love...not just the ones everyone is talking about.
Each month, The Monthly Stack brings you five thoughtfully curated books, chosen through the lens of our five reading identities. And beyond the books, Book Curator comes to life through literary retreats and experiences created for people who want to make reading a richer part of the way they live.
The Monthly Stack Newsletter
The Password Is Fiction. And It's Always Been Yours.
Five books. One very good reason to check your inbox.
Every month, The Monthly Stack brings you five books I've read, loved, and genuinely want to put into readers' hands...from exciting debuts and unexpected discoveries to books you may not be hearing about everywhere else.
You'll also find more books worth knowing about, observations from inside the bookstore, and a little inspiration for your reading life.
Chosen by a bookseller. Written like a letter. Always free.
MEET THE READING IDENTITIES
You don't have to be just one kind of reader.
Some days you want beautiful prose and complicated people. Others call for a love story, a dark mystery, an impossible world, or something that makes you check the lock twice.
The five Book Curator reading identities aren't boxes to fit into. They're different sides of your reading life.
See where your reading takes you.

Beyond the Page…
Book Curator Retreats & Experiences are about making a little more room for the things we love...great books, beautiful places, interesting people, incredible meals, and the pleasure of discovering somewhere new.
Some experiences may include authors or literary programming. Others might take us inside an extraordinary library, through a city after dark, around a table over a long dinner, or simply give us time to read somewhere wonderful.
Because a well-read life doesn't only happen between the covers of a book.
