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 - Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
DESCRIPTION:A “tradwife” influencer suddenly awakens in the brutal reality of 1855— is it an elaborate hoax or something more sinister? \n\n\n\n\nOur Fantasy Book Club selection for August is Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \n“A bold and biting satire\, Yesteryear…will have you cackling and gasping right to the final page.”\n—Nita Prose\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid series \nMy name was Natalie Heller Mills\, and I was perfect at being alive. \nNatalie lives a traditional lifestyle. Her charming farmhouse is rustic\, her husband a handsome cowboy\, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes\, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges and ovens\, her husband the heir to a political dynasty? What Natalie’s followers—all 8 million of them—don’t know won’t hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged\, Ivy League\, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They’re sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn’t simply living the good life\, she’s living the ideal—and just so happens to be building an empire from it. \nUntil one morning she wakes up in a life that isn’t hers. Her home\, her husband\, her children—they’re all familiar\, but something’s off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity\, her children are dirty and strange\, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram\, and now she’s expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a ruthless reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods\, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life\, and she must escape by any means possible. \nA gripping\, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening\, Yesteryear is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition\, fame\, faith\, and the grand performance of womanhood.
