Scary Mommy 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards Best Reading Retreats

Here at Scary Mommy, we firmly believe that books are magic. They can help us escape, make us think, and have a much-needed laugh or cry. So why wouldn’t we want to head out on a book retreat with our besties (or solo!) and indulge in the power of a good read? These reading retreats help you do just that. Here are some of our favorites.
