Wednesday’s Weekly Read - The Cloisters by Katy Hays

Greetings, my dear story lovers. 🐾

It’s Wednesday here, and after much thoughtful prowling (and a persuasive meow over Lady Mirabella’s desk), I’ve selected this week’s read just for you: The Cloisters by Katy Hays.

Why this one? Because it purrs with the slow-building intrigue that even I find impossible to resist. Set in a secluded New York museum filled with medieval art and shadowy corners, it follows scholar Ann Stilwell as she discovers a 15th‑century tarot deck rumored to divine fate. Deliciously mysterious, isn’t it?

I chose this story because it delivers precisely what a discerning cat like me adores:

• 🕯 Gothic cat‑walks and corners, perfect for exploring—or hiding things.

• ✒ Dark academia tension—with ambition, secret glances, and whispered lore.

• 🎴 Tarot and destiny—a lovely twist for curiosity’s sake.

• 🍵 A mood that asks for a bold cup of tea—and one I have in mind.

  
  

To pair with these swirling shadows and secrets, I recommend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Black Tea Blend—strong, finely balanced, and as timeless as the detective tales of its namesake. This brew is perfect for steady contemplation, especially when a story makes you wonder about fate’s many hidden threads.

So, settle into your favorite reading nook (preferably sunlit like mine), pour a cup of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s blend, and let The Cloisters weave its mysteries around you.

Until next time, I remain,
