Dust off your highest hopes, dear readers and welcome to our first ever Swiftie Book Club! 📚
Our Swiftie Summer Book Club - or SSBC for short! - is a monthly read and gather of our 210 Swiftie community that shares the love for books and book-adjacent topics. We’ve been so lucky to have our SAPL support us with a space for our monthly meet ups, as well as have chosen reads that are available via your local SAPL branch and the Libby app! (more on that below) One thing that sets us apart from a usual book club is we are opening it up to everyone - even if you don’t read the book! We’ll have a book discussion portion (so you can avoid spoilers!) and a general meet up to talk all things Taylor and books. This is also a great place to find new book recommendations, chat about the series you’ve been reading, or just get out of the house in the summer! After SSBC meets, we’ll post a recap video/slideshow/graphic on any discussion questions we had, book recommendations of the month, and similar titles to the read of the month. 📖

This months book is “Star Mother” by Charlie N. Holmberg. Here’s some info:
“When a star dies, a new one must be born.
The Sun God chooses the village of Endwever to provide a mortal womb. The birthing of a star is always fatal for the mother, and Ceris Wenden, who considers herself an outsider, sacrifices herself to secure her family’s honor and take control of her legacy. But after her star child is born, Ceris does what no other star mother has: she survives. When Ceris returns to Endwever, however, it’s not nine months later―it’s seven hundred years later. Inexplicably displaced in time, Ceris is determined to seek out her descendants.
Being a woman traveling alone brings its own challenges, until Ceris encounters a mysterious―and desperate―godling. Ristriel is incorporeal, a fugitive, a trickster, and the only being who can guide Ceris safely to her destination. Now, as Ceris traverses realms both mortal and beyond, her journey truly begins.”
