Read the Author Book Club - T.J. Klune

Love the idea of book clubs but hate being locked into a single title every month? Milwood’s Read the Author Book Club is your new favorite excuse to read exactly what you want—while still having people to talk about it with.

On June 8, 2026 at 6:30 pm, the spotlight is on beloved fantasy author T.J. Klune. Instead of everyone reading the same book, participants choose any Klune title that catches their eye—then come together to compare notes, characters, themes, and tear-jerker moments. Whether you’re into cozy fantasy, heartfelt queer romances, or whimsical found-family adventures, there’s a Klune story that will hit you right in the feelings.

• New to T.J. Klune? Pick a popular gateway like a magical house story, a quirky tale about bureaucracy in the afterlife, or a cozy neighborhood of superheroes-in-hiding.

• Already a fan? Use this as the perfect reason to tackle that backlist title you’ve been saving—or reread an old favorite and see what details you missed the first time.

• Love to share opinions? The conversation is all about comparing different books by the same author—what themes repeat, how the characters grow, and which worlds you’d actually want to live in.

This monthly club is laid-back and reader-friendly: there’s no required book, no pop quiz, and definitely no shame if you’re only halfway through your pick. Walk-ins are welcome, and the group happily takes suggestions for future authors to feature, so you might even shape the upcoming lineup.

Tickets aren’t required to attend, but signing up online gets you a handy email reminder before the meeting, so the date doesn’t disappear in a sea of calendar alerts. If you love the idea of exploring an author’s universe from multiple angles—and hearing what other readers discovered in different books—this is a cozy, low-pressure way to do it.

Bring your current T.J. Klune read, your favorite scenes, your wild theories, and maybe a friend who needs a nudge back into reading. You’ll leave with new recommendations, new perspectives, and probably a longer TBR list than when you arrived.
