SUMMARY:3/18: Rainbows and Unicorns - An LGBTQ+ Book Club at Booksweet
DESCRIPTION:3/18: Rainbows and Unicorns – An LGBTQ+ Book Club at Booksweet \nJoin us for a fun evening of discussion and community at Booksweet for the next meeting of our LGBTQ+ Book Club on March 18th! For our March book\, we’ve selected Red\, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Whether you’ve read the book more than once or are just coming to chat with like-minded readers\, this event is for you! \nYour Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning! \nAbout the book \nWhat happens when America’s First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales? \nWhen his mother became President\, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome\, charismatic\, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There’s only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince\, Henry\, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation\, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. \nHeads of family\, state\, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake\, Instragramable friendship grows deeper\, and more dangerous\, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage\, and the power\, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? Casey McQuiston’s Red\, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn’t always diplomatic. \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. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts! \nAfter our discussion\, the group votes on the next session’s read. Feel free to pitch a book you’ve enjoyed recently or want to read with the group! \nWhile we will have water and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options)\, Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops\, filled with AMAZING dining options. 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:3/20: Other Worlds- A Sci-fi/Fantasy Book Club at Booksweet
DESCRIPTION:3/20: 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. \nFor our Friday\, March 20 gathering from 7-8 pm\, we’ll be discussing The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune. \nYour Eventbrite RSVP is super helpful to our snack and beverage planning! \nAbout the book \nA spine-tingling standalone novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune—a supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government. \nThere’s nothing more human than a broken heart. \nIn the spring of 1995\, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead\, his only brother wants nothing to do with him\, and he’s been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington\, DC. \nWith nothing left to lose\, he returns to his family’s summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland\, Oregon\, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It’s not. \nInside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis\, who isn’t exactly as she appears. \nSoon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past\, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her. \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!

SUMMARY:3/22: Dreaming in Color Allyship Workshop Intro with Erin Dewsbury-Ribeiro
DESCRIPTION:3/22: Allyship Workshop Launch Event with Erin Dewsbury-Ribeiro \nErin Dewsbury-Ribeiro\, author of the recent biography Dreaming in Color: An Allyship Journey\, will join us at Booksweet to describe her allyship workshop series\, to include an overview and discussion of the upcoming series! \nDreaming in Color: Allyship workshops with Erin Dewsbury-Ribeiro\, hosted by Booksweet. \nErin will be hosting an ongoing allyship workshop series in 2026\, with monthly meetings at Booksweet beginning in February! \nWho’s the educator? \nAs a first-time author\, I’m thrilled to bring my lifelong love of learning\, storytelling\, and human connection to the page. With over two decades of experience in project management\, sales\, and human resources—particularly in training\, learning\, and development—I’ve spent my career helping people grow\, lead\, and thrive. Now\, I’m channeling that same energy into writing. \nMy journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, both personally and professionally. As the founder of The Power of Inclusivity LLC\, a DEI practitioner and workshop facilitator\, I advocate for inclusive spaces where every voice is heard and valued. I’m also a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach\, passionate about helping individuals uncover their unique talents and lead with authenticity. \nMulticultural by nature and curious by design\, I’ve worked across borders and languages—including Japanese and German—and believe that stories are one of the most powerful tools we have to build empathy and understanding. Whether I’m coaching teams\, leading workshops\, or diving into a new book\, I’m always chasing the next spark of insight. \nDreaming in Color: An Allyship Journey is the next chapter in my journey—a reflection of the lessons\, curiosities\, and passions that have guided me so far. I hope it inspires readers to embrace their strengths\, challenge their assumptions\, and stay endlessly curious.

SUMMARY:3/23: (Book)Sweet on Romance Book Club!
DESCRIPTION:3/23: (Book)Sweet on Romance Book Club! \nCome join us for a cozy evening at Booksweet for our Romance Book Club on Monday\, March 23th! At our last meeting\, we selected Always Be My Duchess by Amalie Howard for our next book. Whether you’re an enthusiastic romance fan or just looking for a fun night out with snacks\, this event is perfect for anyone who loves a good love story and wants to enjoy some sweet treats! \nYour Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning! \nAbout the book \nLord Lysander Blackstone\, the stern Duke of Montcroix\, has only one interest: increasing his considerable fortune. After a series of betrayals\, he keeps his emotions buried deep. Money\, after all\, can’t break a man’s heart—or make promises it can’t keep. But when his reputation for being heartless jeopardizes a new business deal\, he finds himself seeking a most unusual—and alluring—solution . . . \nOnce an up-and-coming ballerina\, Miss Geneviève Valery is now hopelessly out of work. After refusing to become a wealthy patron’s mistress\, Nève was promptly shown the door to the streets. When she accidentally saves the life of a handsome duke\, she doubts the encounter will go any better than her last brush with nobility. But instead of propositioning her\, Montcroix makes Nève an offer she would be a fool to refuse: act as his fake fiancée in exchange for fortune enough to start over. \nOnly neither is prepared when very real feelings begin to grow between them. They both stand to win . . . but only if they’re willing to risk their hearts. \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 about the book (the plot\, the characters\, and anything else you want to discuss!). We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts! \nAfter a fun discussion\, the group votes on the next session’s read. Feel free to pitch a romance you’ve enjoyed recently or want to read with the group. \nWhile we will have water and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options)\, Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops\, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don’t feel shy about sipping boba while we chat! \nHope to see you there!
