SUMMARY:April Fantasy Book Club: An Education in Malice
DESCRIPTION:The first Thursday of each month celebrates a new fantasy read and this month it’s An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson! \n\n\n\nSumptuous and addictive\, An Education in Malice is a dark academia tale of blood\, secrets and insatiable hungers from S.T. Gibson\, author of the cult hit A Dowry of Blood. \n\n\n\nDeep in the forgotten hills of Massachusetts stands Saint Perpetua’s College. Isolated and ancient\, it is not a place for timid girls. Here\, secrets are currency\, ambition is lifeblood\, and strange ceremonies welcome students into the fold. \n\n\n\nOn her first day of class\, Laura Sheridan is thrust into an intense academic rivalry with the beautiful and enigmatic Carmilla. Together\, they are drawn into the confidence of their demanding poetry professor\, De Lafontaine\, who holds her own dark obsession with Carmilla. \n\n\n\nBut as their rivalry blossoms into something far more delicious\, Laura must confront her own strange hungers. Tangled in a sinister game of politics\, bloodthirsty professors and magic\, Laura and Carmilla must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice in their ruthless pursuit of knowledge.

SUMMARY:April Thriller Book Club: The Fury
DESCRIPTION:As always\, our book clubs are free and open to all – you bring the chatter\, we’ll provide the treats! And the book is available at Main Street Reads for the 10% off book club price. \n\n\n\nThis month\, it’s the incomparable Alex Michaelides\, back with another psychological thriller\, The Fury.  \n\n\n\nA masterfully paced thriller about a reclusive ex-movie star and her famous friends whose spontaneous trip to a private Greek island is upended by a murder — from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient  \n\n\n\nThis is a tale of murder. Or maybe that’s not quite true. At its heart\, it’s a love story\, isn’t it? Lana Farrar is a reclusive ex-movie star and one of the most famous women in the world. Every year\, she invites her closest friends to escape the English weather and spend Easter on her idyllic private Greek island.  \n\n\n\nI tell you this because you may think you know this story. You probably read about it at the time ― it caused a real stir in the tabloids\, if you remember. It had all the necessary ingredients for a press sensation: a celebrity; a private island cut off by the wind…and a murder. We found ourselves trapped there overnight. Our old friendships concealed hatred and a desire for revenge.  \n\n\n\nWhat followed was a game of cat and mouse ― a battle of wits\, full of twists and turns\, building to an unforgettable climax. The night ended in violence and death\, as one of us was found murdered.  \n\n\n\nBut who am I? My name is Elliot Chase\, and I’m going to tell you a story unlike any you’ve ever heard…

SUMMARY:April Bestsellers Book Club: The Women by Kristin Hannah
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to be featuring The Women by Kristin Hannah in this month’s bestsellers book club. As always\, the book is available at 10% off special book club pricing. Our clubs are free and open to all – you bring the conversation\, we’ll supply the treats! \n\n\n\nA #1 bestseller on The New York Times\, USA Today\, Washington Post\, and Los Angeles Times!From the celebrated author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds comes Kristin Hannah’s The Women–at once an intimate portrait of coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided. \n\n\n\nWomen can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words\, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched\, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents\, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing.  \n\n\n\nBut in 1965\, the world is changing\, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam\, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight\, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war.  \n\n\n\nEach day is a gamble of life and death\, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war\, she meets–and becomes one of–the lucky\, the brave\, the broken\, and the lost. But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends.  \n\n\n\nThe real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America\, to angry protesters\, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. The Women is the story of one woman gone to war\, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten.  \n\n\n\nA novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism\, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.
