SUMMARY:November Fab Fantasy Book Club: A Song to Drown Rivers
DESCRIPTION:Come join the 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\nSeems these fantastic sprayed edges are continually offering up something new and fun for eager readers. This one features gold foiled cover\, gorgeous sprayed edges with stenciled artwork\, as well as exclusive metallic ink patterned endpapers and unique foiled front and back case stamps. It’s only available on a limited first print run\, so if you do want one in your library\, now’s the time; they won’t last long. \n\n\n\nScreenshot\n\n\n\nThe story is equally compelling. Inspired by the legend of Xishi\, one of the famous Four Beauties of Ancient China\, this epic novel is steeped in myth. \n\n\n\nYoung Xishi’s beauty is seen as a blessing to the villagers of Yue. When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor\, Fanli\, she’s presented with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighboring kingdom of Wu\, improve the lives of her people\, and avenge her sister’s murder. To accomplish all this\, she must infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy\, seduce their immoral king\, and weaken the court from within. \n\n\n\nTrained by Fanli in everything from classical instruments to concealing emotion\, Xishi hones her beauty into the perfect weapon. Once inside the enemy palace\, Xishi finds herself under the hungry gaze of the king’s advisors. The king is affectionate\, but despite his gentleness\, a brutality lurks. Xishi knows she can never let her guard down. And if she is unmasked as a traitor\, she will bring both kingdoms down. Plenty of fodder about gender roles\, love and war to make for some interesting book club discussion.

SUMMARY:November Books & Banter Book Club: Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty
DESCRIPTION:Screenshot\n\n\n\nAs 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: Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – From the beloved author of Big Little Lies\, Apples Never Fall\, and The Husband’s Secret comes a moving novel of love\, marriage\, family\, and trying to find certainty in a fragile world.“A riveting story so wild you don’t know how she’ll land it\, and then she does\, on a dime.”–Anne Lamott \n\n\n\nLife is full of twists and turns you never see coming. But what if you did? The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job–she’s generally happy with her life\, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to–but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.  \n\n\n\nThere’s the well-dressed man in seat 4C who is compulsively checking his watch\, desperate not to miss his eleven-year-old daughter’s musical. Further back\, a mother of two is frantically trying to keep her toddler entertained and her infant son quiet. How did she ever think being a stay-at-home mom would be easier than being a lawyer?  \n\n\n\nEthan is lost in thought; he’s flying back from his first funeral. A young couple has just gotten married; she’s still wearing her wedding dress. An emergency room nurse is looking forward to traveling the world once she retires in a few years\, it’s going to be so much fun! If they ever get off the tarmac. . . . \n\n\n\nSuddenly a woman none of them know stands up. She makes predictions about how and when everyone on board will die. Some dismiss her. Others will do everything they can to make sure her prophecies do not come to pass. All of them will be forever changed.  \n\n\n\nHow would you live your life if you thought you knew how it would end? Would you love who you love or try to love someone else? Would you stay married? Would you stop drinking? Would you call up your ex-best friend you haven’t spoken to in years? Would you quit your job? Intricately plotted\, with the wonderful wit Liane Moriarty has become famous for\, Here One Moment brilliantly looks at friends\, lovers\, and family and how we
