SUMMARY:Thursday Silent Book Club
DESCRIPTION:With 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? \nCLICK HERE TO SAVE YOUR SPOT \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 6:00-6:30pm. Staff will be on hand to help you find a great read if you need one. Then\, from 6:30-7:30\, pick a spot and read whatever makes you happy. The store will stay open until 8:00pm for those who need to finish one more chapter or are ready to find their next great book.

SUMMARY:Author Tanya Pell - This B Just Won't Die
DESCRIPTION:Tanya will be joining us to discuss her new book This B Just Won’t Die.  The ticket price of $30.81 includes the book for the cover price plus MA State Sales Tax. \nPlease look for updates as we work with more authors to join Tanya for this event. \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS \nThis humorous\, heart-pounding\, feminist slasher follows an aging scream queen as she is pursued by a serial killer impersonating the antagonist of her films. \nFormer scream queen Barbra Jacobs desperately wants to break out of the box Hollywood has neatly packaged her in. Cast as the star of the Mirror horror franchise films twenty years ago\, the breakout role that shaped her career has also destroyed her dreams of being taken seriously as an actress. Now forty\, and still seeking the approval of everyone around her\, she makes ends meet by signing old photos of herself and doing meet and greets at horror conventions. \nSo when a producer calls asking her host The Monsters We Made\, a hot new horror docuseries\, she sees it as a step in the right direction. But when fans begin dying around her—and in ways that mimic the kills in her films—Barb is thrust back into a role she can’t seem to walk away from: The Final Girl. \nWill she ever break out of the display-box-life she’s been imprisoned in\, or will Mirror Man end it all in Barbie’s Scream House?

SUMMARY:A Court of Splintered Harmony Midnight Release Party
DESCRIPTION:A Court of Splintered Harmony will be here on October 27th at midnight! \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE YOUR TICKET  \nThe long wait is over. Let’s celebrate! Join us for some ACOTAR themed activities\, share predictions with other fans\, and do a little late-night shopping while we count down to the midnight release. \nDoors open at 10:30pm. Attendees will be able to pick up their copies beginning at 12:00am on 10/27 until our 12:30am closing.  We will reopen for normal hours on Tuesday\, October 27.  If you have purchased a ticket and are unable to attend\, we will hold your copy for 30 days. \nSarah J. Maas\, the #1 bestselling author of the Court of Thorns and Roses series\, returns to the courts of Prythian . . . \nWhat was broken will be remade. \nDeep in the heart of the continent\, Koschei the Deathless is stirring. Though he’s been bound to a mountain lake for millennia\, the insidious threat of his return now spreads across the Fae territories\, attracting powerful allies hell-bent on reclaiming what was once theirs: the human lands. \nThe Night Court will not stand idly by while innocents are attacked. But with Prythian still piecing itself together in the wake of the devastating Hybern War\, the task of uniting is proving more difficult by the day. \nTo make matters worse\, those who rule and protect the Night Court are reeling from recent betrayals and revealed truths. The rifts dividing them seem insurmountable. \nBut to defeat Koschei’s creeping shadow\, they must find a way back to each other and resurrect their former alliances. To survive\, they must find a way to repair the splintered harmony all around them. \n
