SUMMARY:11/21: Other Worlds - A Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Club
DESCRIPTION:11/21: Other Worlds- A Sci-fi/Fantasy Book Club at Booksweet \nJoin us at Booksweet for an out-of-this-world book club experience! Everyone is welcome to join the discusion of our favorite scifi and fantasy reads. Whether you’re a seasoned fan or just dipping your toes into the genre\, this is the perfect place to explore new worlds with fellow readers. \nAt our July gathering\, the group voted on our next two reads! \nFor our Friday\, November 21 gathering from 7-8 pm\, we’ll be discussing A Memory of Empire by Arkady Martine. \nYour Eventbrite RSVP is super helpful to our snack and beverage planning! \nAbout the book // \nAmbassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor\, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining Station\, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn’t an accident—or that Mahit might be next to die\, during a time of political instability in the highest echelons of the imperial court. \nNow\, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder\, rescue herself\, and save her Station from Teixcalaan’s unceasing expansion—all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive\, engaging in intrigues of her own\, and hiding a deadly technological secret—one that might spell the end of her Station and her way of life—or rescue it from annihilation. \nArkady Martine’s debut novel A Memory Called Empire is a fascinating space opera and an interstellar mystery adventure. \nSo… what’s this book club like? // \nScifi / Fantasy readers have been gathering bi-monthly for over a year now and it’s been a blast! Some people finish the read\, others dip in for as long as they have capacity for. All are welcome\, valued\, and celebrated. \nThe group draws a crowd of about 20-30 people; enough to keep the perspectives diverse and fresh\, but not too many that all voices aren’t heard. \nWe have a number of folks who’ve returned to us–and a number who are new. We discuss prepared prompts but we also go with the conversational flow. After a good discussion\, the group votes on the next session’s read. Feel free to pitch a book to the group\, whether it’s a new book you’re itching to read it or it’s a favorite! \nBooksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops\, filled with AMAZING dining options. We will provide water and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options). Snacks and drinks are totally welcome; don’t feel shy about sipping boba while we chat! \nWe hope to see you there!
