SUMMARY:March Fab Fantasy Book Club: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Fab Fantasy on Thursday\, March 7th when we’ll be diving into Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson\, author of several mega-popular fantasy books at Main Street Reads\, including former club pick Tress of the Emerald Sea! \n\n\n\nAs always\, you bring the chatter\, we’ll supply the treats – and our book club selections are always 10% off retail price\, so come and grab yours soon! \n\n\n\nAbout the Book:\n\n\n\nFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson–creator of The Stormlight Archive\, the Mistborn Saga\, and countless bestselling works of science fiction and fantasy–comes this gripping story set in the Cosmere universe told by Hoid\, where two people from incredibly different cultures must work together to save their worlds from certain disaster. \n\n\n\nYumi has spent her entire life in strict obedience\, granting her the power to summon the spirits that bestow vital aid upon her society–but she longs for even a single day as a normal person.  \n\n\n\nPainter patrols the dark streets dreaming of being a hero–a goal that has led to nothing but heartache and isolation\, leaving him always on the outside looking in. In their own ways\, both of them face the world alone. Suddenly flung together\,  \n\n\n\nYumi and Painter must strive to right the wrongs in both their lives\, reconciling their past and present while maintaining the precarious balance of each of their worlds. If they cannot unravel the mystery of what brought them together before it’s too late\, they risk forever losing not only the bond growing between them\, but the very worlds they’ve always struggled to protect.

It’s a mission Victor Petrov is expected to undertake after he prevents Sweden from joining NATO–by assassinating a deputy minister of foreign affairs. \n\n\n\nAfter receiving intelligence about the threat in Sweden\, the United States sends Pike Logan to identify Petrov’s target–only for him to get caught in the crossfire between Putin’s agents and the Wolves. When the smoke clears\, Pike makes no effort to stop the Wolves on their ultimate mission\, believing it just\, until he discovers that their operation has unimaginable consequences. \n\n\n\nFor Putin is preparing a devastating endgame: activating the Dead Man’s Hand nuclear response that will launch Russia’s missiles in the event of his death.

SUMMARY:March Thrill in the 'Ville Thriller Book Club: The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
DESCRIPTION:Our March thriller book club will be dishing on the latest hit from Rachel Hawkins: The Heiress. As always\, the book is at the 10% off book club price in-store\, and we’ll have treats and libations to stimulate the conversations 🙂 \n\n\n\nAn Indie Next AND Library Reads Pick: “The reigning queen of the Gothic thriller.” —Entertainment Weekly \n\n\n\nTHERE’S NOTHING AS GOOD AS THE RICH GONE BAD. When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies\, she’s not only North Carolina’s richest woman\, she’s also its most notorious. The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over\, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House\, her family’s estate high in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  \n\n\n\nBut in the aftermath of her death\, her adopted son\, Camden\, wants little to do with the house or the money–and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes. Instead\, he rejects his inheritance\, settling into a normal life as an English teacher in Colorado and marrying Jules\, a woman just as eager to escape her own messy past.  \n\n\n\nTen years later\, his uncle’s death pulls Cam and Jules back into the family fold at Ashby House. Its views are just as stunning as ever\, its rooms just as elegant\, but the legacy of Ruby is inescapable. And as Ashby House tightens its grip on Jules and Camden\, questions about the infamous heiress come to light.  \n\n\n\nWas there any truth to the persistent rumors following her disappearance as a girl? What really happened to those four husbands\, who all died under mysterious circumstances? And why did she adopt Cam in the first place?  \n\n\n\nSoon\, Jules and Cam realize that an inheritance can entail far more than what’s written in a will–and that the bonds of family stretch far beyond the grave.

SUMMARY:Bestsellers Book Club: Only If You're Lucky by Stacy Willingham
DESCRIPTION:Unlike the live chat with Stacy – this club WILL be full of spoilers as y’all have had a month to dig into this great dark academia thriller! As always\, treats will be provided – you bring the chatter! \n\n\n\nA sharp and twisty exploration of female friendship from the New York Times bestselling author of A Flicker in the Dark and All the Dangerous Things. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLucy Sharpe is larger than life. Magnetic\, addictive. Bold and dangerous. Especially for Margot\, who meets Lucy at the end of their freshman year at a liberal arts college in South Carolina. Margot is the shy one\, the careful one\, always the sidekick and never the center of attention. But when Lucy singles her out at the end of the year\, a year Margot spent studying and playing it safe\, and asks her to room together\, something in Margot can’t say no–something daring\, or starved\, or maybe even envious. \n\n\n\nAnd so Margot finds herself living in an off-campus house with three other girls\, Lucy\, the ringleader; Sloane\, the sarcastic one; and Nicole\, the nice one\, the three of them opposites but also deeply intertwined. It’s a year that finds Margot finally coming out of the shell she’s been in since the end of high school\, when her best friend Eliza died three weeks after graduation. Margot and Lucy have become the closest of friends\, but by the middle of their sophomore year\, one of the fraternity boys from the house next door has been brutally murdered… and Lucy Sharpe is missing without a trace. \n\n\n\nFrom the author of A Flicker in the Dark and All the Dangerous Things comes a tantalizing thriller about the nature of friendship and belonging\, about loyalty\, envy\, and betrayal–another gripping novel from an author quickly becoming the gold standard in psychological suspense.
