And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared.

Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow\, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet. \nSo… what’s this book club like?  \nWe hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don’t mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts.

SUMMARY:10/6: Author Event - Raising Healthy Achievers in a Competitive World\, with Jennifer B. Wallace
DESCRIPTION:10/6: Author Event – Raising Healthy Achievers in a Competitive World\, with Jennifer B. Wallace \nIn today’s high-pressure world\, students are working harder than ever—packing their schedules with AP classes\, sports\, and extracurriculars—while parents stretch their time and budgets to keep up. Yet instead of producing confident\, thriving kids\, this culture of nonstop striving is driving record rates of anxiety\, depression\, and burnout. In Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic—And What We Can Do About It\, award-winning reporter Jennifer Wallace uncovers the deep societal forces behind this “toxic achievement culture” and reveals the harm caused when kids believe their value comes only from their accomplishments. \nDrawing on insights from leading psychologists\, educators\, and nearly 6\,000 parents\, Wallace will share how to raise kids who are both high-achieving and emotionally healthy. She will offer practical\, research-backed tools to help parents shift from pushing performance to fostering “mattering\,” ensuring children know they are valued for who they are\, not just what they do. Parents will walk away with a new framework for redefining success and raising resilient\, well-rounded kids who can thrive without burning out. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:10/12: Different Eras - Historical Fiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:10/12: Different Eras – Historical Fiction Book Club at Booksweet \nCome join us for a cozy evening at Booksweet for our first Historical Fiction Book Club on Sunday\, October 12! For our first read\, we’ve selected The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. Whether you’re a history buff or just starting to explore the genre\, this book club is for you! To help transport the club to another time and place\, we will also offer tea and refreshments! \nYour Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning! \nRSVP‘ \nAbout the book  \nWashington\, DC\, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House\, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely\, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room\, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss\, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora\, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice\, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous\, gung-ho Arlene\, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare. \nGrace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives\, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart\, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst? \nCapturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America\, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test. \nSo… what’s this book club like?  \nThis is our very first historical fiction book club! We hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don’t mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts! \nAfter a good discussion\, the group votes on the next session’s read.

Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don’t feel shy about sipping boba while we chat! \nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Of Moths And Stone Release Party With K.R. Fryatt!
DESCRIPTION:Pre-order your signed copy here! Each pre-order comes with exclusive vellum overlays\, art prints\, stickers\, a bookmark\, and digital goodies! \nBooksweet is thrilled to welcome K.R Fryatt to celebrate the launch of her book Of Moths And Stone!! Join us for an author reading\, Q&A\, book signings\, refreshments\, and more! \nAbout The Author\nK.R. Fryatt is a former opera singer who finally put her foot down in order to realize her childhood dream— becoming a published author. Now\, she writes epic\, swoon-worthy romantasy novels about complex characters finding their inner strength\, experiencing radical self-acceptance\, and meeting their true\, fated love. She resides in the mitten state with the real-life book boyfriend she married\, their three amazing kids\, and an aging Samoyed who’s afraid of his own shadow. \nWhen she’s not writing whatever her characters tell her to\, you can find her cursing over crochet\, learning how to let go and cry during movies\, eating spicy food\, and daydreaming about long\, tropical vacations. You can find her on Instagram and Threads as @author_k.r.fryatt \nAbout The Book\nOf Moths and Stone is the first installment in The Towers of Bordoroth series: an epic fantasy romance featuring lyrical prose\, lush\, immersive world-building\, and an intricate\, character-driven plot. This gritty and breathtaking love story is perfect for fans of The Witcher\, the War of Lost Hearts trilogy\, and When the Moon Hatched. \n“But still there’s a split-a moth-shaped divide. Tell me\, Sorcerit\, will your answer be right? Or will you consign us to doom-colored night?” \nAges ago\, an Oracle foretold a malevolent doom\, coming to rain death over Bordoroth and the Five Realms. Yet\, as time crawled on\, the empire flourished and her riddled warnings were ignored. But shadows creep slowly. They whisper and wait\, patient as they stretch towards those they seek to consume. \nUnbeknownst to Brand\, they stalk his every footstep\, threatening everyone around him\, and his only hope for saving them is a powerful and mysterious healer from the neighboring realm. \nLunara. \nThe otherworldly beauty ignites something primal within Brand\, her vibrant spirit tempting him past a lifetime of reservations for the chance to get closer. Conflicted\, Lunara struggles to resist his magnetic pull\, torn between her own deepening desire and the deadly cost of her secrets. \nPoor fool. Fate is a dark and twisted creature\, and refuses to be denied. \nA series of devastating attacks draws them closer\, horrors ravaging the realms\, forcing Lunara to confront not only the starving night… but the one male who deserves her truths. Lunara must decide: claim her true identity and face her own end\, or disappear forever to keep Brand safe. \nOne wrong choice may spell ruin for them all.
