SUMMARY:1/16: Other Worlds- A Sci-fi/Fantasy Book Club at Booksweet
DESCRIPTION:1/16: 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 discussion of our favorite sci-fi 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. \nFor our Friday\, January 16 gathering from 7-8 pm\, we’ll be discussing The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon. \nYour Eventbrite RSVP is super helpful to our snack and beverage planning! \nAbout the book  \nThe New York Times bestselling first novel in the Bone Season series\, an epic fantasy about a young woman fighting to use her powers and stay alive in an England entirely different from our own. \nIn 2059\, Scion has taken over most of the world’s cities\, promising safety for all the citizens it deems worthy and wiping out clairvoyants wherever it can find them. Paige Mahoney\, though\, is a clairvoyant–and a criminal just for existing. Paige is determined to fight Scion’s power\, and as part of the Seven Seals\, Paige has found a use for her powers: she scouts for information by breaking into others’ minds as they dream. But when Paige is captured and arrested\, she encounters a power more sinister even than Scion. The voyant prison is a separate city\, controlled by a powerful\, otherworldly race. These creatures\, the Rephaim\, value the voyants highly–as soldiers in their army. Paige is assigned to a Rephaite keeper\, Warden\, who will be in charge of her care and training. He is her master. Her natural enemy. But if she wants to regain her freedom\, Paige will have to learn something of his mind and his own mysterious motives. The Bone Season introduces a compelling heroine–a young woman learning to harness her powers in a world where everything has been taken from her. It also introduces an extraordinary young writer\, with huge ambition and a teeming imagination. Samantha Shannon has created a bold new reality in this riveting debut. \nSo… what’s this book club like?  \nSci-fi / 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!
