SUMMARY:Horror Book Club: Only Good Indians
DESCRIPTION:Introducing our very first ever Horror Book Club! \nWe’re kicking things off with a book that does not mess around. Join us for our first ever Horror Book Club discussing The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones. \nPlease RSVP. \nOn the last day of hunting season\, four young Blackfeet men do something they will spend the rest of their lives regretting. Ten years later\, as the anniversary of that day creeps closer\, an entity with a long memory and an even longer reach comes looking for them\, one by one\, wherever they’ve run to. Part slasher\, part ghost story\, part unflinching look at identity and the weight of the past\, Jones weaves a tale that’s as much about what haunts us as what hunts us. \nCalled a masterpiece by critics and blurbed by Stephen King himself as “thrilling\, literate\, scary\,” this one earns every nightmare it gives you. Not a bad way to break in a brand new book club.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Book Club: Song Of Achilles
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our next LGBTQ Book Club discussing The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. \nPlease RSVP. \nExiled prince Patroclus finds an unlikely friend in the golden\, gifted Achilles\, and what begins as boyhood companionship grows into something deeper as the two are raised together under the guidance of the centaur Chiron. But the world has other plans for Achilles. Bound by prophecy and the pull of glory\, he is drawn toward the Trojan War\, and Patroclus follows\, determined to stay by his side no matter the cost. Miller reimagines Homer’s Iliad with tenderness and ferocity\, turning a story of gods and warriors into an aching\, unforgettable love story. \nA gorgeous\, heartbreaking retelling that’s become a modern classic for good reason.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Club with Jane Costello: *Forty Love*

Jane will be joining us from the UK to discuss her new sexy rom-com\, a perfect summer read. \nCopies are available at the store\, as an audiobook through Libro.fm\, and as an e-book through Bookshop. \nRSVP to receive the link via email. \nA fun\, sexy rom-com about finding a new passion just when you thought it was game over. Forty-something single mum Jules lives next door to a tennis club but has no plans to pick up a racket — especially not with her old school day crush\, Dr Sam Delaney\, back in town and displaying a killer forehand in direct view of her bedroom window. But when an unprecedented wave of anxiety hits — brought on by perimenopause and her daughter’s solo trip around the world — she rashly agrees to join an amateur women’s tennis team sitting at the bottom of every league. As rallies are hit and friendships are formed\, Jules finds herself in the grip of an all-consuming relationship… and not only with the tennis. A warm\, hilarious\, and gloriously feel-good novel about reinvention\, resilience\, and second chances at love.

SUMMARY:Author Event with Rachel Beanland\, The Half Life
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Rachel Beanland\, Author of The Half Life \nWhat happens when the life you chose starts to feel like a cage? When twenty-three-year-old Eileen O’Malley falls for a charming naval officer\, she finds herself following him to the tiny\, sun-drenched Mediterranean island of La Maddalena — far from everything she’s ever known. But paradise has a dark underbelly: when Italian activists begin sounding the alarm about nuclear contamination in the water\, the island erupts in protest — and Eileen’s loyalties begin to shift\, drawn into a web of secrets and toward a local journalist who forces her to imagine a life beyond the one she’s been handed. \nAtmospheric\, sexy\, and quietly defiant\, The Half Life is a story of love\, complicity\, and awakening. Readers are calling it a page-turner they literally lost sleep over. \nJoin us for an intimate evening with Richmond author Rachel Beanland — author of Florence Adler Swims Forever\, winner of the National Jewish Book Award for Debut Fiction — as she discusses her stunning new novel\, takes questions from the audience\, and signs books. \nTickets: 🎟 $45 — includes a Hardcover copy of The Half Life 🎟 $20 — general admission\, no book included. \nSeating is limited.

SUMMARY:ACOTAR Re-read\, Book #2- Mist and Fury
DESCRIPTION:Join Our July Fantasy Book Club! ✨ \n📚 Meet us to start our re-read of the ACOTAR series\, leading up the release of Book 6 in October. This meeting will be to discuss Book 2: A Court of Mist and Fury. \nBE SURE TO PRE-ORDER BOOKS 6 AND 7 NOW SO YOU HAVE THEM ON RELEASE DAY! THEY ARE BOTH LINKED BELOW. NOTE: Fan Club Members save $5 on all pre-orders. Use the code emailed to you or reach out for help. \nSarah J. Maas’s sexy\, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre’s fiery sister\, Nesta. \nNesta Archeron has always been prickly—proud\, swift to anger\, and slow to forgive. And since the war—since being made High Fae against her will—she’s struggled to forget the horrors she endured and find a place for herself within the strange and deadly Night Court. The person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian\, the battle-scarred\, winged warrior who is there at Nesta’s every turn. But her temper isn’t the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable\, and it only burns hotter as they are forced to work closely together. As the threat of war casts its shadow over them once again\, Nesta and Cassian must battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance—and healing—in each other’s arms.
