✨ Wrapping Up the Week
As the week comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to highlight some of our most memorable moments — and what a wonderful week it’s been!
We had the absolute pleasure of hosting an Author Spotlight with Acro Writes, the brilliant mind behind Born of Blood and Ruin. This darkly fantasy story is the first in what promises to be an unforgettable trilogy, and we’re beyond excited to follow its journey.
Even more exciting news, we’ve officially launched our blog — The Gilded Quill! This interactive space is designed to bring our bookish community even closer together through shared reads, author features, and all things literary magic.
And before we sign off, we want to send the biggest thank you to everyone who has supported us along this wild, wonderful adventure. Your encouragement, comments, shares, and love mean the world to us — truly. None of this would be possible without you, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of our story. 💛
Here’s to more books, more connections, and more golden moments ahead. Until next week, happy reading!

Author Card Catalog-have you checked it out
Here at Indie Book Bound Sisterhood, we believe every story begins with a storyteller — and our Author Card Catalog is overflowing with incredible voices waiting to be discovered. Many of these talented authors are celebrating (or about to celebrate!) the release of their debut novels, and we couldn’t be more excited to share them with you.
Our catalog is easy to browse and beautifully bookish — think of it as wandering through a library of new worlds. Each author has a personal bio, details about their current or upcoming book, and direct links to where you can find their stories. Whether you’re on the hunt for your next favorite read or just love learning about the creative minds behind the pages, this is the perfect place to explore.
We’ve had the joy of meeting these authors ourselves, and trust us — they’re every bit as inspiring as the tales they write. Their journeys are filled with passion, persistence, and imagination, and we’re thrilled to help you connect with them too.
✨ Want to meet them “face to face”? Join us for our Live Author Spotlight every week on TikTok with @lunar_soul_book_bound from 7–8:30 PM EST. It’s a cozy, come-as-you-are kind of event where readers and writers can chat, ask questions, and celebrate storytelling together.
Our hope is to keep growing this shared space — a place where readers and authors meet, connect, and remind us all that we’re part of the same wonderful, book-bound world.
Witches and Goblins and Ghosts, oh my…
Are you a spooky reader? 👻 Do you have those hauntingly good books you dust off every October — or do you find new chills and thrills each year that keep you up reading long past midnight? Either way, we’ve got the perfect treat (no tricks, promise).
This Halloween, Indie Book Bound Sisterhood is hosting a cozy, spooky read-along featuring none other than guest author J.W. Constantine! Join us on October 31, 2025, at 9:00 PM EST for a night filled with a cozy spooky tale, bookish banter, and the kind of vibes that make you want to curl up under a blanket with a candle flickering nearby.
Bring your favorite fall drink (pumpkin spice latte or hot apple cider, anyone?) and come chat with us about all things spooky and bookish.
Let us know in the comments below if you’re joining, or follow us on TikTok — we’ll happily send you the link to our book club Discord so you can read along, join the discussion, and maybe meet a few fellow night-owl readers.
It’s time to light a candle, stack your TBR with a few haunted favorites, and let Indie Book Bound Sisterhood join you in your reading nook this Halloween. 🕯️📚✨
Once Upon a time…
