SUMMARY:Sunday Silent Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to hold space with us on select Sunday mornings from 10am -12pm. \nCLICK HERE TO SAVE YOUR SEAT \nWith traditional book clubs there’s the scramble to finish the selected book\, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn’t it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books and friends —without any homework? \nAt Silent Book Club\, there’s no assigned reading. All readers are welcome—ebooks\, audiobooks\, textbooks\, comic books… it’s BYOBook. Join us at the Purple Couch Bookshop to socialize from 10:00-10:30am. Staff will be on hand to help you find a great read if you need one. Then\, from 10:30-11:30\, pick a spot and read whatever makes you happy. The store will be opening to the public at 12pm for those who need to finish one more chapter or are ready to find their next great book.

SUMMARY:Fantasy Book Club - Between Sun and Shadow by Laura Genn
DESCRIPTION:Our Fantasy Book Club selection for July is Between Sun and Shadow by Laura Genn. \nHades and Persephone reimagined on a tidally locked planet\, for fans of queer romance\, mutant superpowers\, eccentric robots\, and much more! \n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \nSixteen-year-old Kori struggles to be a dutiful heiress to the Daylands\, a post-cataclysmic society reliant on chip implants to retain memory. With a strict routine and an overly cautious mother\, Kori has only one friend\, Aspect—an industrial robot she’s repurposed. Determined to awaken sentience in her metal companion\, Kori crash-lands in enemy territory while hunting for a memory that might do the trick. \nRavaged by radiation from a meteorite\, the citizens of the Shadowlands have evolved into beast-like creatures with supernatural abilities. Adria\, a winged mutant\, has wrested control of the Shadowlands from her bloodthirsty parents—but not everyone is so willing to embrace her leadership. What better way to instill confidence in her court than by capturing a foreign princess and demanding ransom? \nHowever\, what began as a political maneuver transforms into a potent attraction as Kori’s longing for relationship echoes Adria’s own. Granted free rein of Adria’s fortress\, Kori stumbles upon a startling revelation that could upend the Daylands entirely. As rebellion grows and Adria’s precarious hold on her throne wavers\, Adria and Kori must join forces to avert all-out war. Does a queen of shadows really stand a chance with a princess of sunlight? Or has the chasm between their nations grown too wide? \nA science fantasy “Beauty and the Beast\,” this action-packed adventure is written in dual point of view and layered with a charming robot\, a cuddly three-headed dog\, mind-bending twists\, and sapphic yearning.
