What to Expect at the 2026 Festival

This year, we’re celebrating even more books, a plethora of genres, and all things bookish at the third ever Tea Leaves & Reads Literary Festival.

Our Festival for 2026 is a full two-day weekend with many wonderful Authors joining us (and you!) with delicious food, beverages and the best bookish company.

A brand new emotional, sweeping romance from the bestselling author of One Moment. 

When Lissa meets Ash, she can’t deny their instant connection. It’s like they’ve met before, many times. Then, the flashbacks start and somehow she just knows: these are memories of past lives. And in those lives, there’s always one person. Always, she falls in love with him. Always, it ends in tragedy.

Our Blog

We often read and review books ahead of publication thanks to the generosity of many authors and publishers that we are connected with which helps us to know what’s coming and what we should be putting in our boxes.
