SUMMARY:February Adventures in Reading Kids Club: Hattie May Begins Again by Sharon G. Flake
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 Hattie Mae Begins Again by Sharon G. Flake \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHattie Mae has always known the rhythms of Seed County\, North Carolina—milking cows\, tending gardens\, doing the work her family relies on. But when she’s sent north to Miss Abigail’s School for Exceptional Young Ladies\, the elite Philadelphia boarding school feels like another world entirely.  \n\n\n\nHer classmates—from polished Lisa to the girls who mock her accent\, her clothes\, her manners—insist a Southern Black girl like Hattie could never become a doctor\, a scientist\, or anything extraordinary. And Hattie fears they might be right. As waves of Black families arrive in the city seeking new futures during the Great Migration\, Hattie sees herself reflected in their longing and resilience.  \n\n\n\nSlowly\, she learns that belonging isn’t given—it’s claimed. A tender coming-of-age story about courage\, identity\, and lifting others as you rise\, ripe with book club discussion opportunities

SUMMARY:February Books & Banter Fiction Book Club: The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia
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\nThis month’s pick is The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lost Apothecary meets Gothikana in this intoxicating Victorian gothic romance about a botanist who poisons wicked men—and the target whose arrival upends everything she thinks she knows. “Have you ever wondered how long it would take for a lethal dose of arsenic to kill you? Thirty-five hours\, twenty-nine minutes\, and fifteen seconds. I should know. I counted myself.” \n\n\n\nIn the gaslit streets of London\, Alina Lis dispenses her own brand of justice—until conceited playboy Silas Forbes\, her latest intended victim\, turns up alive in her apothecary. Their tense\, magnetic connection sparks rumors in high society even as something far more dangerous brews in the shadows.  \n\n\n\nAs hidden identities surface and enemies close in\, Alina and Silas must decide whether their dark bond will destroy them—or pull them irresistibly together.

Eli\, a celebrated chef\, and Walker\, a lawyer\, are brothers\, building families and careers\, each affected by the gruesome murder twenty years ago of Eli’s high school sweetheart. The hunt for the killer\, in the public’s eyes\, cemented Eli and Walker in roles neither wanted-Eli as the savior and Walker in need of a savior-thus casting a chill over their relationships. \n\n\n\nPaul Attaway\n\n\n\nWalker sees a chance to play the hero when\, through his representation of two clients\, he takes on the Governor of South Carolina\, Johnny Dunsmore\, the eldest son of Colin Dunsmore\, the patriarch of a politically powerful family. For fifty years\, Colin Dunsmore carefully crafted an image for the family\, intent on placing Johnny in the White House. But Walker uncovers a history of deceit and murder that defines the family\, and as he pulls at strings\, Colin Dunsmore’s tapestry of lies begins to unravel. \n\n\n\nConfronted with the Dunsmore’s ruthlessness and the knowledge that they will stop at nothing to win\, Walker turns to Eli and together they embark on a cross-country race with the Dunsmores to secure the secrets\, that if revealed\, would upend their empire.
