In order to maintain our welcoming and inclusive space in the context of what we hope will be a lively and productive book club discussion, we have developed the following house rules.By attending a book club meeting, you agree to the following:Share the floor: Be sure to let everyone talk and express their thoughts on the book. If you feel like you're talking a lot, you probably are! Invite others to speak.Be respectful: We'll no doubt have differing opinions. Seek to understand first, then to be understood. Check your privilege, and take special care with others who have lived experience differing from your own.Comments or behavior that demean a specific person, identity, or culture will not be tolerated.Book club hosts will keep these house rules in mind and will redirect you or the conversation as a whole if we feel they aren't being honored. We also reserve the right to ask an attendee to leave if we feel they're contributing to an unwelcome space.About the Book“Richly imagined . . . Stiefvater’s prose is as pungent as the sweetwater, with a snap that suggests the whimsy of a veteran storyteller.” —The New York Times#1 New York Times bestselling novelist Maggie Stiefvater dazzles in this mesmerizing portrait of an irresistible heroine, an unlikely romance, and a hotel—and a world—in peril.January 1942. The Avallon Hotel & Spa has always offered elegant luxury in the wilds of West Virginia, its mountain sweetwater washing away all of high society’s troubles.Local girl-turned-general manager June Porter Hudson has guided the Avallon skillfully through the first pangs of war. The Gilfoyles, the hotel’s aristocratic owners, have trained her well. But when the family heir makes a secret deal with the State Department to fill the hotel with captured Axis diplomats, June must persuade her staff—many of whom have sons and husbands heading to the front lines—to offer luxury to Nazis. With a smile.Meanwhile FBI Agent Tucker Minnick, whose coal tattoo hints at an Appalachian past, presses his ears to the hotel’s walls, listening for the diplomats’ secrets. He has one of his own, which is how he knows that June’s balancing act can have dangerous consequences: the sweetwater beneath the hotel can threaten as well as heal.June has never met a guest she couldn’t delight, but the diplomats are different. Without firing a single shot, they have brought the war directly to her. As clashing loyalties crack the Avallon’s polished veneer, June must calculate the true cost of luxury.About the AuthorMaggie Stiefvater is the New York Times bestselling author of the Shiver trilogy, the Raven Cycle, and The Scorpio Races. Her books have sold over five million copies around the world. She lives in Virginia with her husband, her tuner car, and a great number of dogs. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/royal-oak/monday-book-club-the-listeners/100001986391203562 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art, Meetups, Sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.24, max: 6.24, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Royal Oak - **state**: MI - **country**: United States - **location**: 325 S Washington Ave - **lat**: 42.4873955 - **long**: -83.14631720000001 - **full address**: 325 S Washington Ave, 325 South Washington Avenue, Royal Oak, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Monday Book Club - The Listeners - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7e1df07cc4e8c075519671b0e85666355fa47f5fd568c2a45797911f5bfe69d1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc3e9191-gmir.jpg?v=1775418642 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Monday Book Club - The Listeners being held? - **A:** Monday Book Club - The Listeners takes place on Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 325 S Washington Ave, 325 South Washington Avenue, Royal Oak, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Monday Book Club - The Listeners? - **A:** Monday Book Club - The Listeners is organized by Sidetrack Bookshop. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Monday Book Club - The Listeners", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7e1df07cc4e8c075519671b0e85666355fa47f5fd568c2a45797911f5bfe69d1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc3e9191-gmir.jpg?v=1775418642", "startDate": "2026-05-04T18:30:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-05-04T20:00:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/royal-oak/monday-book-club-the-listeners/100001986391203562", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "325 S Washington Ave", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "325 South Washington Avenue", "postalCode": "48067", "addressLocality": "Royal Oak", "addressRegion": "MI", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.4873955", "longitude": "-83.14631720000001" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Sidetrack Bookshop BOOK CLUB discussing The Listeners, by Maggie Stiefvater.
