SUMMARY:June Adventures in Reading Kids Club: Underwild River of Spirits
DESCRIPTION:Our Adventures in Reading Kids Club is free and open to all AND the book is 10% off book club pricing. Come on out and join your fellow readers each month for a free pizza party and chat about the selected book! \n\n\n\nThis month we’re chatting about Underwild River of Spirits by Shana Targozs \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis dazzling middle grade debut has already earned its spot as a New York Times bestseller—and it’s easy to see why. The Underwild: River of Spirits sweeps readers into a richly imagined underworld where rules are everything\, secrets run deep\, and courage means stepping into the unknown\, even when the cost is high. \n\n\n\nSenka lives between two worlds: not quite alive\, not quite dead\, learning the ancient ways of guiding souls across the river to the afterlife under the watchful eye of Charon\, the legendary Ferryer. But everything changes when Poppy\, a living girl filled with grief and determination\, invades the Underworld in search of her brother’s ghost.When a desperate rescue pulls both girls downriver and into the haunting wilderness of the Underwild\, they’re forced to confront vengeful spirits\, terrifying creatures\, and truths that could reshape everything Senka thought she knew. \n\n\n\nPerfect for fans of Greenwild and Rick Riordan’s myth-inspired tales\, this is a story brimming with friendship\, heart\, danger\, and self-discovery. It’s also ideal for sparking discussion in book clubs—about grief\, choice\, identity\, and what it means to do the right thing\, even when the rules say otherwise.  \n\n\n\nAnd for collectors and early readers\, the first edition is a true treasure\, featuring sprayed edges and a limited special design while supplies last.

SUMMARY:June Kiss & Tell Romance Club: Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez
DESCRIPTION:Our book clubs are free and open to all – we supply the treats\, you bring the scintillating conversation! As always\, all book club selections are 10% off book club pricing. Come join our romance club\, “Kiss & Tell!” \n\n\n\nThis month\, we’re chatting about Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbby Jimenez has done it again with Say You’ll Remember Me—an instant #1 New York Times bestseller that perfectly blends sharp humor\, swoony romance\, and the kind of emotional depth that will stick with you long after the final page. If you love stories that make you laugh\, cry\, and fall head-over-heels\, this one’s a must. \n\n\n\nSamantha isn’t looking for a relationship—her life is too complicated\, her family too fragile\, and her heart already stretched thin. Then she meets Xavier Rush\, a veterinarian so handsome he looks sculpted from marble… and so foot-in-mouth that he almost ruins it on the spot. But sparks fly in spite of his blunders\, and one magical\, whirlwind date changes everything. \n\n\n\nWhen Samantha pulls away\, insisting that a relationship just isn’t possible\, she begs Xavier to remember their night as a beautiful moment frozen in time. But Xavier can’t—and won’t—forget her. Because sometimes one perfect memory isn’t enough. Sometimes\, it’s just the beginning. \n\n\n\nThis is the kind of romance that invites deep discussion about timing\, vulnerability\, boundaries\, and second chances. And yes—plenty of swooning over kittens\, hot vets\, and heart-melting declarations. Abby Jimenez proves yet again why she’s the queen of contemporary romance\, and Say You’ll Remember Me is a heartfelt reminder that the best love stories are the ones worth fighting for.

SUMMARY:June Books & Banter Fiction Book Club: Eleven Percent by Maren Uthhaug
DESCRIPTION:Books & Banter is our general fiction book club\, focusing on great new reads that matter! As always\, our book clubs are free and open to all\, and the book club pick is 10% off the regular price. You bring the conversation\, we’ll provide the treats! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis month’s pick is Eleven Percent by Maren Uthhaug. This provocative novel flips the dystopian narrative on its head\, imagining a matriarchal society where men have been reduced to only 11% of the population and are confined to pleasure and procreation centers. \n\n\n\nSet in a “New Time” where gender roles and power dynamics have been radically reversed\, the story follows four women whose lives intersect in unexpected ways: Medea\, a snake whisperer; Wicca\, a grieving priestess; Eva\, a spa doctor; and Silence\, a recluse in a decaying convent. \n\n\n\nWhile the utopian façade of this world promises equality and safety\, cracks begin to show as the characters question the cost of such a society. Uthaug skillfully explores themes of power\, freedom\, and humanity’s capacity for cruelty\, regardless of gender. \n\n\n\nSharp\, irreverent\, and deeply thought-provoking\, Eleven Percent is perfect for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and speculative fiction that challenges societal norms. Book clubs will find endless fodder for discussion\, from the moral dilemmas posed by the story to the nuanced exploration of gender and power.
