Blue Hour Lit
Ink & Ease is a two-night escape designed to help you to slow down and immerse yourself in your latest read. Unlike a traditional book club, this reading retreat is designed for you to bring books of YOUR choosing. Choose a book from your TBR list or work with us to bring a book for you!
We invite you to explore CMU's Biological Station, curl up in front of the fire or dig your toes in the sand as you get lost in a good book. Make new connections with fellow book lovers and enjoy the island. As this event is the first of its kind, we are running it as close to cost as we can.

Lodgings include private or shared rooms with common areas for reading and relaxing. Take in the spectacular views from every window and walk.
Explore CMU's Biological Station, sign-up for walks and hikes around the island, and take in the view. This relaxing weekend could be spent curled up in a chair or out in nature. The choice is yours.
We know that some reading retreats encourage everyone to read the same book. That's lovely, but not our plan. Bring a stack from the library, load up on audiobooks, or ask us to help you find your next read. We'll host a book exchange and foster a cozy space for chatting about your favorite characters and authors. We're excited for readers of all genres to enjoy the station and a bookish retreat.
