Rosemary · Founder & chief book hunterThe person behind the pop-up
Turning pages.
Summoning smiles.
“Books have always been my way of connecting with people, places, and possibilities.”
Black Cat Books is Rosemary's passion project: a roaming space for creativity, cozy connection, and stories with a touch of magic, mystery, or horror. When she isn't building the next collection, she's gardening, trying a new recipe, or hanging out with her cat Moosh and a wonderfully chaotic pack of pups.
Forever favorite: The Night Circus
