SUMMARY:Thriller Bookclub July: The Ravaged!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for lively discussion\, treats and talk about The Ravaged by Norman Reedus. Free and open to all! \nThe highly anticipated debut novel from Norman Reedus\, acclaimed star of The Walking Dead \nThis country wasn’t built on good–only fought for with good intentions. \nJack’s dying mother told him\, Run and never look back. He spent his life amassing wealth\, but after losing his family\, he has no one to share it with. Alone with his demons and a backpack\, he heads to South America\, where people with nothing teach him what matters. \nAfter thrashing his dog-abusing boss\, Hunter learns of his father’s death in a mysterious fire. Biker buddies Nugget and Itch ride with him from North Carolina to California. Stories from his father’s life help ease the struggles of small-town Americans. Hunter discovers a secret past. \nSeventeen-year-old Anne flees Tennessee after her older brother attacks her. She whacks him with a skillet and hops a freight to Alabama with her best friend. Living hand to mouth\, they build friendships\, uncovering something they never had: family. \nThe Ravaged is a fast-paced\, up-in-your-face novel of gritty realism\, exploring three different personal quests with eerily parallel outcomes. \n

SUMMARY:Living Large Bookclub July: The Bloomsbury Girls
DESCRIPTION:Join us for fun\, food\, and lively discussion around The Bloomsbury Girls by Natalie Jenner! \n*Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Katie Couric Media\, the CBC\, the Globe and Mail\, BookBub\, POPSUGAR\, SheReads\, Women.com and more!*\n\nNatalie Jenner\, the internationally bestselling author of The Jane Austen Society\, returns with a compelling and heartwarming story of post-war London\, a century-old bookstore\, and three women determined to find their way in a fast-changing world in Bloomsbury Girls. \nBloomsbury Books is an old-fashioned new and rare book store that has persisted and resisted change for a hundred years\, run by men and guided by the general manager’s unbreakable fifty-one rules. But in 1950\, the world is changing\, especially the world of books and publishing\, and at Bloomsbury Books\, the girls in the shop have plans: \nVivien Lowry: Single since her aristocratic fiance was killed in action during World War II\, the brilliant and stylish Vivien has a long list of grievances–most of them well justified and the biggest of which is Alec McDonough\, the Head of Fiction. \nGrace Perkins: Married with two sons\, she’s been working to support the family following her husband’s breakdown in the aftermath of the war. Torn between duty to her family and dreams of her own. \nEvie Stone: In the first class of female students from Cambridge permitted to earn a degree\, Evie was denied an academic position in favor of her less accomplished male rival. Now she’s working at Bloomsbury Books while she plans to remake her own future. \nAs they interact with various literary figures of the time–Daphne Du Maurier\, Ellen Doubleday\, Sonia Blair (widow of George Orwell)\, Samuel Beckett\, Peggy Guggenheim\, and others–these three women with their complex web of relationships\, goals and dreams are all working to plot out a future that is richer and more rewarding than anything society will allow.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday: Meet the Author - Chris Singleton!
DESCRIPTION:Third Thursday’s downtown block party bash takes place July 21 this month\, with a theme town-wide of Christmas in July. Here at Main Street Reads\, we’ll be featuring famed author\, baseball player and speaker Chris Singleton with his latest release\, Baseball Around the World! ALL Little Leaguers get 10% off their books! \nIt might be America’s favorite pastime\, but baseball isn’t just an American sport! \nFrom Cuba to Japan\, Australia to Italy\, a diverse melting pot of countries and cultures have embraced the ole ballgame. In Baseball Around the World\, you’ll take a multicultural world tour to meet the nations and players who have pushed baseball to international popularity–with a twist\, of course. \nFind out what they eat at Japanese baseball stadiums\, how a gold rush brought baseball to Australia\, why South Korean games are allowed to end in a tie\, and much more in this home run of a book! \nFrom the introduction: People often think of baseball as an American sport. Terms such as “America’s pastime” and the “boys of summer” bring up images of warm summer nights in small towns. Yes\, the game we think of–that we know and love–is rooted in the sandlots and Little League fields across the U.S. But baseball is so much bigger. In many ways\, baseball really is a world sport….As you read this book and learn about baseball around the world\, you’ll see just how much the game unifies us. Regardless of our differences\, our love for the game of baseball is all the same! \nChris Singleton is a former minor league baseball player drafted by the Chicago Cubs. He became a nationally-renowned speaker with a message of resilience\, forgiveness and unity following the loss of his mother in the 2015 Mother Emanuel Church Tragedy in Charleston\, SC. Chris now shares his message with over 60 organizations annually and his clients include: Boeing\, The Houston Texans\, Microsoft\, Biogen\, Volvo\, The Washington Wizards and over 100\,000 students and educators across the world. One of his children’s books\, Different – A Story About Loving Your Neighbor\, was a best seller in its category and has been featured by numerous outlets\, including The Obama Foundation. \nChris’ overall mission when speaking is to inspire his audiences with his story of resilience and to unite millions of people with his belief that\, “Love is Stronger Than Hate.” \nHis other books include Different: A Story of Loving Your Neighbor and Your Life Matters.
