Location
Join us in Albuquerque!
Dreams really do come true! For our next Book Huddle reading retreat, we’re headed to Albuquerque, NM, staying at the stunning Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm.
This enchanting venue, a multiple TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice award winner, offers the perfect setting to kick off the new year. While the lavender won’t be in bloom during our stay, we’ll still be surrounded by 25 acres of serene cottonwood trees, formal gardens, wandering peacocks, and complimentary bikes to explore the grounds.
address
4803 Rio Grande Blvd NW, Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, NM 87107
Rooms
Pet sheep by day; count sheep by night.
All rooms have luxurious organic bedding, a wet bar, cable TV, private guest room safes, operable windows, high-speed wifi, luxury linens/robes, and signature lavender spa amenities made with lavender that's grown right on the farm.
They’re all situated in various buildings; some are in renovated hacienda styles (hand-plastered walls, fireplaces, New Mexican artwork) and some are more modern and located near their lotus pond and gardens. A dream!
If you’d like your own room, pick the solo room. If you’d like to have a shared room, pick the shared room or sofa bed ticket. After you secure your ticket, you’ll be able to note any roommate preferences.

Once you’re in, you’ll vote on your retreat book track!
For the retreat’s books, we’ll focus on recently published works. All attendees can vote on the retreat’s fiction, fantasy, mystery, or romance book, and then you’ll pick your genre book track. Book options will prioritize women and BIPOC authors and LGBTQ+ storylines.
Based on your book track, you’ll be assigned to a group of people who also chose that book, and you’ll meet throughout the retreat to discuss your book.
It’s encouraged to read your book in full before the retreat starts for maximum discussion opportunities. Your book will be shipped to you before the retreat begins! Our past retreat books have included…
