SUMMARY:November Thrill in the ‘Ville Thriller Book Club: Doll Parts by Penny Zang
DESCRIPTION:Come join the Thrill in the ‘Ville thriller book club discussion – wine and apps are free\, and as always\, our clubs are free and open to all\, PLUS the book club picks are offered at the 10% off book club discount. \n\n\n\nThis month we’re chatting about: Doll Parts by Penny Zang!Some stories refuse to stay buried. In this haunting and evocative debut\, Penny Zang delivers a dual-timeline suspense that blends the atmospheric dread of The Virgin Suicides with the sharp investigation of I Have Some Questions for You.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt its heart is a decades-old mystery and the unraveling of a friendship bound by secrets\, obsession\, and tragedy.In college\, best friends Nikki and Sadie were inseparable—two outsiders clinging to each other while navigating professors\, heartbreak\, and the chilling lore of the Sylvia Club\, a campus legend tied to a string of Sylvia Plath–adoring girls whose supposed suicides left shadows across the school. Aspiring writer Nikki became obsessed with their stories\, until a tragedy tore her and Sadie apart forever. \n\n\n\nNow\, nearly twenty years later\, Nikki is dead. Sadie\, reeling from the loss\, is drawn back into Nikki’s world in ways she never expected—especially when her grief entangles her with Nikki’s husband and lands her inside her ex-best friend’s suburban life.  \n\n\n\nGhostly reminders of Nikki emerge\, and Sadie soon suspects her friend’s search for answers about the Sylvia Club may have made her its final victim. A chilling exploration of girlhood mythology\, and the secrets that echo long after they should be silenced.

Come join our romance club\, “Kiss & Tell!” \n\n\n\nThis month\, we’re chatting about Burning Daylight by Emily McIntire \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe queen of dark romance returns with the first book in a sizzling new series\, where love is powerful enough to challenge destiny—and dangerous enough to burn everything down. \n\n\n\nJuliette Calloway has lived her entire life on display.

But beneath the polished perfection\, Juliette longs for freedom\, for passion\, for something real. \n\n\n\nRoman Montgomery shouldn’t exist – not on paper\, anyway.

Juliette is bold\, beautiful\, and quickly becomes the one thing he can’t stay away from. \n\n\n\nBut when Roman is forced to step into the Montgomery empire\, the truth shatters their fragile world. Their families are sworn enemies\, and their love is not just forbidden—it’s impossible. \n\n\n\nEvery kiss is treason. Every touch\, a risk. And in a town where secrets kill and loyalty is everything\, Juliette and Roman will have to decide: will their love rewrite history\, or destroy them both? \n\n\n\nA dangerous\, intoxicating romance that will spark fierce discussion about passion\, loyalty\, and fate.

SUMMARY:November Books & Banter Fiction Book Club: The Secret Book Society by Madeline Martin
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 Secret Book Society by Madeline Martin and you are cordially invited…to a book club like no other. \n\n\n\nSet in Victorian London\, this is a captivating new historical novel from Madeline Martin\, bestselling author of The Last Bookshop in London. It’s a tale of forbidden reading\, dangerous secrets\, and the power of women who dare to break free from the roles society has forced upon them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLondon\, 1895. In an age when women’s lives are defined by their husbands\, three very different women receive a mysterious invitation to afternoon tea at the secluded home of Lady Duxbury\, a thrice-widowed countess whose past is cloaked in scandal and whispers of murder. But beneath the polite veneer of teacups and conversation lies something far more daring: a secret book club\, a sanctuary where women can claim their voices\, share their truths\, and discover the courage to rewrite their destinies. \n\n\n\nAmong the attendees are Eleanor Clarke\, a devoted mother trapped in a cruel marriage; Rose Wharton\, an American “dollar princess” uncomfortably cast into the mold of English aristocracy; and Lavinia Cavendish\, a gifted young artist harboring a dangerous family secret.  \n\n\n\nAs their lives intertwine\, these women form bonds of sisterhood and resilience\, discovering strength they never knew they possessed. But secrets can be perilous\, and in a world quick to silence rebellious women\, one misstep could cost them everything. \n\n\n\nRich with atmosphere and heart\, The Secret Book Society celebrates friendship\, bravery\, and the timeless power of books to change lives\, ripe with discussion possibilities!

But as her investigation deepens\, the shadows of wartime Paris begin to stir once more. People connected to the hotel—and to Josephine’s story—start dying in the present day\, forcing Olivia into a dangerous race against time. \n\n\n\nSet against the glamorous\, haunted streets of Paris\, this novel asks chilling questions: Can memory be trusted? What secrets lie hidden in the past? And how far will someone go to silence the truth? Prepare for an addictive\, atmospheric thriller that will ignite discussion long after the final page.

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 also hosting our kids’ holiday party! As for the book\, we’ll be chatting about The Library of Unruly Treasures by Jeanne Birdsall \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Jeanne Birdsall\, the NYT bestselling and National Book Award–winning author of The Penderwicks\, comes a warm\, funny\, and magical new adventure that proves even the most unlikely heroes can make a difference. \n\n\n\nGwen MacKinnon knows her parents are dreadful—so dreadful that being sent away to stay with an uncle she’s never met feels more like a vacation than a punishment. Her new guardian\, Uncle Matthew\, comes with quirks of his own\, including an outspoken dog named Pumpkin who quickly becomes Gwen’s closest ally. \n\n\n\nBut when Gwen wanders into the local library\, she makes a discovery that changes everything. Hidden among the stacks are tiny winged creatures called Lahdukan—seen only by Gwen and the youngest children gathered at storytime. These mischievous\, magical beings are in trouble\, and they believe Gwen is the one destined to help them. \n\n\n\nThe problem? Gwen doesn’t feel like a hero. She’s ordinary\, unwanted\, and far from courageous. But the Lahdukan don’t give up easily\, and with Pumpkin nudging her forward\, Gwen is drawn into a quest to save them—and\, perhaps\, discover her own strength along the way. \n\n\n\nBursting with humor\, heart\, and just the right touch of whimsy\, The Library of Unruly Treasures is a tender story about friendship\, bravery\, and the unexpected ways we find our place in the world. A perfect pick for readers who love libraries\, magical creatures\, and adventures with plenty of laughter along the way.

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.
