SUMMARY:CANCELED - Pamela Kelley and Jessica Everett Author Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation and signing with authors Pamela Kelley and Jessica Everett to celebrate the release of their summer novels. \nAre you looking for your next Summer Read? The Purple Couch is excited to welcome both Pamela Kelley and Jessica Everett to celebrate the release of their new novels. A conversation and Q&A with the author will be followed by a signing. Tax inclusive tickets include the copy of one of the books\, and you have the option to preorder the other as well. \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS \nIn Nantucket Second Chances\, USA today and WSJ Bestselling Author Pamela Kelley Invites readers to glorious Nantucket\, the perfect backdrop for your summer beach read. \nReturning to beautiful Nantucket\, single mom Claire Shipman finds friendship\, family ties\, new beginnings and second chances. Claire never imagined she’d be the single mom of a teenager\, going through a contentious divorce\, and unexpectedly pregnant. On the bright side\, at least she’s on Nantucket\, where she grew up\, and where her mom welcomes her home with open arms. \nFor years\, Claire lived an enviable Manhattan lifestyle. Now her ex had a marriage-ending affair and also lost all their money. Claire’s high school friends invite her to their book club and encourage her idea to start selling high-end designer bags\, fashions\, and quality tourist items. Her former career as a fashion journalist will stand her in good stead. Claire names her new venture Nantucket Second Chances\, and rents the perfect space off Main St. from local custom furniture creator\, Cody\, who proves to be a good friend\, and perhaps something more. Amidst beautiful Nantucket’s changing seasons\, nurtured by community and family\, there couldn’t be a better place to start over. \nPamela Kelley lives in a historic seaside town near Cape Cod and just south of Boston. She has always been an avid reader of women’s fiction\, romance\, mysteries\, thrillers and cook books. There’s also a good chance you might get hungry when you read her books as she is a foodie\, and occasionally shares a recipe or two. \nWith a pinch of Lessons in Chemistry and a dash of J. Courtney Sullivan’s Maine\, Jessica Everett’s Last Summer at Maine Chance takes readers to 1950s Maine\, to a time when a real Elizabeth Arden spa operated in a rural lake town\, where one summer working as a maid will teach a college economics student more than any classroom ever could. \nJessica Everett loves research\, fountain pens\, and throwing parties. A nearly life-long resident of New Hampshire\, she lives with her family and a precocious poodle named Sam. Last Summer at Maine Chance is her historical fiction debut. She happily spends summers in Maine\, a place her family has called home since the 1600s.

SUMMARY:Romantasy Book Club - The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig
DESCRIPTION:There’s something about a gothic fantasy in the summer! \nFor June Book Club\, we’re reading The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig—a story full of omens\, mystery\, strange magic\, and the kind of slow-building tension that keeps you reading way too late. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \n\nIf your ideal book feels like candlelight\, rain on old stone walls\, and secrets no one should be keeping… this one is for you. \nFrom New York Times bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes a sensational romantasy\, a gothic\, mist-cloaked tale of a young prophetess forced on an impossible quest with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight. \n“Prepare to meet your next obsession.” — Rebecca Ross\, author of Divine Rivals \nSybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral\, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them\, she can predict terrible things before they occur\, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams. \nJust as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service\, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude\, heretical\, and devilishly handsome\, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil’s visions. But when Sybil’s fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one\, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking\, and as much as she’d rather avoid Rodrick’s dark eyes and sharp tongue\, only a heretic can defeat a god.

SUMMARY:Horror Book Club - The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor Lavalle
DESCRIPTION:One of NPR‘s Best Books of 2016\, winner of the Shirley Jackson Award\, the British Fantasy Award\, the This is Horror Award for Novella of the Year\, and a finalist for the Hugo\, Nebula\, Locus\, World Fantasy\, and Bram Stoker Awards. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nPeople move to New York looking for magic and nothing will convince them it isn’t there. \nCharles Thomas Tester hustles to put food on the table\, keep the roof over his father’s head\, from Harlem to Flushing Meadows to Red Hook. He knows what magic a suit can cast\, the invisibility a guitar case can provide\, and the curse written on his skin that attracts the eye of wealthy white folks and their cops. But when he delivers an occult tome to a reclusive sorceress in the heart of Queens\, Tom opens a door to a deeper realm of magic\, and earns the attention of things best left sleeping. \nA storm that might swallow the world is building in Brooklyn. Will Black Tom live to see it break? \n“LaValle’s novella of sorcery and skullduggery in Jazz Age New York is a magnificent example of what weird fiction can and should do.”\n— Laird Barron\, author of The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All \n“[LaValle] reinvents outmoded literary conventions\, particularly the ghettos of genre and ethnicity that long divided serious literature from popular fiction.”\n— Praise for The Devil in Silver from Elizabeth Hand\, author of Radiant Days \n“LaValle cleverly subverts Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos by imbuing a black man with the power to summon the Old Ones\, and creates genuine chills with his evocation of the monstrous Sleeping King\, an echo of Lovecraft’s Dagon… [The Ballad of Black Tom] has a satisfying slingshot ending.” – Elizabeth Hand for Fantasy & ScienceFiction

Lisa is a mental health counselor and longtime literary facilitator whose work centers on the power of story to shape identity and meaning. Her background in narrative inquiry and creative nonfiction informs both her clinical work and her approach to literary dialogue. She is especially interested in the ways landscape\, longing\, and personal transformation intersect in fiction and in life. Allen brings to her conversations with authors a deep respect for the emotional architecture of story and for the ways characters’ searches for belonging\, wholeness\, and love mirror our own.

SUMMARY:Fiction Book Club - Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson
DESCRIPTION:A deliciously funny\, sharply observed debut of family\, love\, and class\, this zeitgeisty novel follows three women in one wealthy Brooklyn clan. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \nDarley\, the eldest daughter in the well-connected old money Stockton family\, followed her heart\, trading her job and her inheritance for motherhood but giving up far too much in the process; Sasha\, a middle-class New England girl\, has married into the Brooklyn Heights family\, and finds herself cast as the arriviste outsider; and Georgiana\, the baby of the family\, has fallen in love with someone she can’t have\, and must decide what kind of person she wants to be. \nRife with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York’s one-percenters\, Pineapple Street is a smart\, escapist novel that sparkles with wit. Full of recognizable\, loveable—if fallible—characters\, it’s about the peculiar unknowability of someone else’s family\, the miles between the haves and have-nots\, and the insanity of first love—all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight.

SUMMARY:Romance Book Club - A Little Buzzed by Alys Murray
DESCRIPTION:A sex toy engineer with one big secret finally meets her match\, and together they’ll put their own products to the test in this steamy romance. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \nVibe readers unite! Join Romance Book Club as we discuss A Little Buzzed! \nIf she builds it\, they will come. \nScout Porter is screwed. Not literally\, of course. Literally\, she’s a twenty-six-year-old virgin\, thanks to a relationship so disastrous she swore off love and sex for good. Metaphorically\, she’s screwed because the entire office of BuzzCorp\, the sex toy start-up where she’s head engineer\, just found out. Scout needs her team to stay focused on their upcoming launch\, not her lack of a sex life\, so she finds the simplest solution: lose her V-card—and fast—then get back to business as usual. \nEnter Hudson Bailey\, the nerdy and charming software developer hired to build the app for Scout’s latest creation. The only problem is\, he’s as inexperienced with sex toys as she is with sex. Fortunately\, he’s all too eager to learn\, and they agree that one very educational\, totally professional hook-up will solve both of their problems. All for research\, obviously. \nBut their little experiment yields unexpected results—chemistry so off the charts Scout starts to think she might actually want more than just a one-time fling. When their budding relationship is threatened by the return of Scout’s notorious ex\, both Scout and Hudson will have to decide if they’ve reached their climax as a couple\, or if they’re willing to risk everything for a chance at true love. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Author Laura Piper Lee in Conversation with Jenny Howe
DESCRIPTION:Laura Piper Lee returns to the Purple Couch in support of her new novel Pot Shot. She will be joined in conversation by local favorite\, and friend of the store\, Jenny Howe. \n\n\nTickets are $20.18 tax inclusive and include a copy of Pot Shot. \n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nTo open her cannabis dispensary\, a chronically ill woman must defeat the surly doctor next door in this hilarious and steamy romantic comedy.\n\nNomi Wyeth\, former valedictorian and current pothead\, has her heart set on opening her own boutique cannabis dispensary in charming downtown Sparrow Nook\, New Jersey. Cannabis changed Nomi’s life\, giving her relief from Crohn’s disease when nothing else could\, and it’s her dream to help others find the same peace and comfort she has. \nBut Nomi’s plans are rudely interrupted when Dr. Julian D’Angelo\, former salutatorian and current asshole\, returns to Sparrow Nook with a chip on his shoulder\, a probation to serve at the medical practice next door\, and a lifelong vendetta against weed. \nWhen an unfortunate shaving accident lands Nomi onto Julian’s exam table\, Julian is appalled to discover that his high school nemesis is still inconveniently gorgeous\, still hates his guts\, and worst of all\, that she’s planning on opening an amoral weed bordello next to his clinic. War is the only answer and definitely not an excuse to keep running into witty\, free-spirited Nomi. \nAs they battle each other all over Sparrow Nook\, from “pot luck” fundraisers to public debates at City Council meetings\, their fraught pasts and feelings for each other become harder and harder to ignore. It’s tough to say what will change first–their minds or their hearts–but one thing’s for sure: they’re not going down without a fight. \nLaura Piper Lee has wanted to be an author since she was a kid. She enjoys making people laugh\, flirting\, and avoiding exercise\, so writing romantic comedies like Zoe Brennan\, First Crush and Hannah Tate\, Beyond Repair is pretty much a perfect career choice. She lives with her partner and their son in Philadelphia. \nJenny L. Howe first started scribbling stories into black-and-white composition notebooks with neon pink pens when she was in junior high and never really stopped. In college\, she decided to turn her love of books into a career by pursuing a Ph.D. in literature\, where she spent the next few years studying bizarre and entertaining medieval romances. Now\, as a professor\, she teaches courses in college writing\, literature\, and children’s media. When she’s not writing and teaching\, Jenny spends her time buried under puzzle pieces\, cross-stitching her favorite characters\, and taking too many pictures of her rescue dogs\, Tucker and Dale.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Middle Grade Author Liv Mae Morris - The Last Dragon House
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, we’ve had to cancel this event\, but Liv will be stopping by on Friday to sign some of our books.  Come get your signed copy while they last.  We will try to reschedule in the near future. \nKate says “I don’t say this lightly\, but reading this book felt like reading my first Roald Dahl book or the first Harry Potter book…This book is filled with adventure and wonder and compassion. I can’t wait to introduce kids to this world. And look at this gorgeous book. What kid won’t be drawn to it?!” \nAbout The Last Dragon House: “Debut author Morris mixes tongue-in-cheek humor\, subtle social commentary\, and beguiling fantasy adventure vibes to present a thoughtful series opener.” —Publishers Weekly\, starred review \nSiblings Olly and Jenny Atwood have never met a dragon—Olly doesn’t even think they’re real. But when the strange and brilliant Dr. Lady Abernathy offers Olly a job at her mysterious house\, the Atwoods learn that these incredible beasts are very much alive—and they need help. \nDragons have been forced into hiding\, and as caretakers of the Dragon House\, Dr. Lady and Olly are the only protectors these magnificent creatures have left. But when evil forces conspire to poison Dr. Lady\, Olly and his dragon friends find themselves locked in a race against time\, political conspiracies…and one very large corgi. \nCan Olly recover the antidote before it’s too late? And can Jenny harness her stirring powers to keep Dr. Lady alive until then? Or could this be the end of the Dragon House—and dragons—as they know it? \nThe Last Dragon House is a showstopping novel full of fast-paced\, laugh-out-loud adventure and endearingly flawed characters. It’s also about how our seemingly impossible problems will ultimately be solved: Not by waiting for a Chosen One\, but by banding together and sharing our unique strengths. Another word for those strengths? Magic. \nLiv Mae Morris is an author and bookseller. Originally from Kentucky\, she now lives in Boston with her wife\, two cats (Bo and Pawl Simon)\, and dog (Diana Wynne Bones). She was a 2022 Lambda Literary Fellow and a recipient of the Susan Kamil Award for Emerging Writers.
