You're invited to join our new book club, THE BOOKWYRMS! If you hadn't noticed, we've got an amazing book section, and we love to talk books, so a book club feels like the perfect next move! We'll be meeting every month to discuss interesting books, and there will be coffee and snacks. We've really been blown away by the interest and attendance in our first couple of meetings, and want to clarify some things about how we're doing things.
The goal of The Bookwyrms is to introduce titles we're excited about to new readers, so purchase of the book club selection ticket combo is a requirement to join the discussion. We've only done this twice, so it's possible this could change in the future. For now this is the best way for us to manage things and cap attendance so everyone has an enjoyable time. We get that this might be disappointing if you've already purchased the book, or borrowed it from the library, but perhaps you enjoyed it enough that you want to purchase a gift copy for someone?
September's book club selection is Of Monsters And Mainframes by Barbara Truelove. You can purchase the book online or in-store (be sure to specify it's a book club purchase), then meet us in the game room on Monday, September 9 at 6:30pm to discuss. Look forward to seeing you!
A little more about Of Monsters And Mainframes:
Spaceships aren’t programmed to seek revenge—but for Dracula, Demeter will make an exception.
Demeter just wants to do her job: shuttling humans between Earth and Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, her passengers keep dying—and not from equipment failures, as her AI medical system, Steward, would have her believe. These are paranormal murders, and they began when one nasty, ancient vampire decided to board Demeter and K*ll all her humans.
To keep from getting decommissioned, Demeter must join forces with her own team of monsters: A werewolf. An engineer built from the dead. A pharaoh with otherworldly powers. A vampire with a grudge. A fleet of cheerful spider drones. Together, this motley crew will face down the ultimate evil—Dracula.
The queer love child of pulp horror and classic sci-fi, Of Monsters and Mainframes is a dazzling, heartfelt odyssey that probes what it means to be one of society’s monsters—and explores the many types of friendship that make us human.
