Reader's Retreat & Book Bash 2026
Hosted by The Fantasy Author Legion
Calling all fantasy readers! The Fantasy Author Legion is hosting an
intimate Reader's Retreat at the award-winning Cornerstone Bed &
Breakfast in Philadelphia, PA, on February 20-22, 2026. Spend the
weekend immersing yourself in the world of fantasy books, right
from the moment you check in on Friday. As a VIP attendee, you’ll
enjoy a wine and cheese meet & greet with fellow readers, then
have fun exploring Philly’s nightlife for dinner, or stay in and find a
cozy chair to read.
Saturday morning, be woken up by the enticing scents from the
kitchen, and enjoy innkeeper Brian’s decadent 2-course breakfast.
In the afternoon, meet 5 authors from the Fantasy Author Legion,
learn about their books, and grab signed copies. VIPs will also have
access to author panels/discussions and arts & crafts sessions
featuring book bedazzling and keychain making. After some free
reading time and dinner, meet up at the firepit for s’mores and
readings from some of the attending authors. Adelaide will also be
there to read your future from her tarot cards.
On Sunday, enjoy another delicious breakfast and luncheon, and
meet another round of 5 authors from the Legion. Attend a second
author panel and make a friendship bracelet before saying
goodbye to all the new reader bffs you made over the weekend.
This Fantasy Reader's Retreat is perfect for book clubs, girls’ trips,
or a late Valentine’s Day gift.
*Local to Philly? We also have 1-Day Passes so you can take part in luncheons with our authors, buy books and get them signed, and attend the panels & bookish crafts with add-on tickets*
