SUMMARY:Ashley's Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:People of Means by Nancy Johnson \nIn the fall of 1959\, Freda Gilroy arrives on the campus of Fisk University full of hope\, carrying a suitcase and the voice of her father telling her she’s part of a family legacy of Black excellence. Soon\, the ugliness of the Jim Crow South intrudes\, and Freda\, reluctant to get involved\, is torn between a soon-to-be doctor and an audacious young activist. Freda must decide how much she’s willing to risk in the name of justice. \nIn 1992 Chicago\, Freda’s daughter\, Tulip\, is an ambitious PR professional on track for an exciting career\, if workplace politics and racial microaggressions don’t get in her way. But with the ruling in the Rodney King trial weighing heavily on her\, Tulip feels called to action and must choose\, just like her mother had three decades prior\, what her role will be in the story of America’s quest for equality. \nInsightful\, evocative\, and richly imagined with historical details\, People of Means is an emotional tour de force about the lasting legacy of family bonds and the far-reaching ways the past shapes our present.

SUMMARY:Amy's Romance Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:The Kiss Countdown by Etta Easton \nRisk-averse event planner Amerie Price is jobless\, newly single\, and about to lose her apartment. With no choice but to gamble on her shaky start-up\, the last thing she needed was to run into her smug ex and his new\, less complicated girlfriend at Amerie’s favorite coffee shop. Panicked\, she pretends to be dating the annoyingly sexy man she met by spilling Americano all over his abs. He plays along—for a price. \nHalf the single men in Houston claim to be astronauts\, but Vincent Rogers turns out to be the real deal. What started as a one-off lie morphs into a plan: for the three months leading up to his mission\, Amerie will play Vincent’s doting partner in front of his loving but overly invested family. In exchange\, she gets a rent-free room in his house and can put every penny toward her struggling business. \nWhat Amerie doesn’t plan for is Vincent’s gravitational pull. While her mind tells her a future with this astronaut is too unpredictable\, her heart says he’s exactly what she needs. As their time together counts down\, Amerie must decide if she’ll settle for the safe life—or shoot for the stars. \n

SUMMARY:Fright Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Shesheshen is a shapeshifter\, who happily resides as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor. When her rest is interrupted by impolite monster hunters\, she constructs a body from the remains of past meals: a metal chain for a backbone\, borrowed bones for limbs\, and a bear trap as an extra mouth. \nBadly hurt by the hunters\, Shesheshen’s nursed back to health by Homily\, a warm-hearted human. Homily is kind and would make a great co-parent: an ideal place to lay Shesheshen’s eggs so their young can devour Homily from the inside out. But as they grow close\, Shesheshen realizes that eating her girlfriend isn’t an option. \nJust as Shesheshen’s about to confess her identity\, Homily reveals something else: she’s hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Has Shesheshen seen it anywhere? \nShesheshen didn’t curse anyone\, so now she has to figure out why Homily’s twisted family thinks she did. As Shesheshen’s hunt for the monster becomes increasingly deadly\, the bigger challenge remains: learning how to build a life with\, rather than in\, the woman she loves.

SUMMARY:Dude Book Club - The Princess Bride
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who lived through the 1980s may find it impossible—inconceivable\, even—to equate The Princess Bride with anything other than the sweet\, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup\, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you’ll find in these pages. Rich in character and satire\, the novel is set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an “abridged” retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin that’s home to “Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions

SUMMARY:Fright Club at Booktenders: Snake-Eater
DESCRIPTION:From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award–winning author T. Kingfisher comes an enthralling contemporary fantasy seeped in horror about a woman trying to escape her past by moving to the remote US desert—only to find herself beholden to the wrath of a vengeful god. \nWith only a few dollars to her name and her beloved dog Copper by her side\, Selena flees her past in the city to claim her late aunt’s house in the desert town of Quartz Creek. The scorpions and spiders are better than what she left behind. \nBecause in Quartz Creek\, there’s a strange beauty to everything\, from the landscape to new friends\, and more blue sky than Selena’s ever seen. But something lurks beneath the surface. Like the desert gods and spirits lingering outside Selena’s house at night\, keeping watch. Mostly benevolent\, says her neighbor Grandma Billy. That doesn’t ease the prickly sense that one of them watches too closely and wants something from Selena she can’t begin to imagine. And when Selena’s search for answers leads her to journal entries that her aunt left behind\, she discovers a sinister truth about her new home: It’s the haunting grounds of an ancient god known simply as “Snake-Eater\,” who her late aunt made a promise to that remains unfulfilled. \nSnake-Eater has taken a liking to Selena\, an obsession of sorts that turns sinister. And now that Selena is the new owner of his home\, he’s hell-bent on collecting everything he’s owed.

SUMMARY:Dude Book Club at Booktenders: Warbreaker
DESCRIPTION:After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel\, Elantris\, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy\, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation\,” the invention of whole worlds\, complete with magics and myths all their own. \nWarbreaker is the story of two sisters\, who happen to be princesses\, the God King one of them has to marry\, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job\, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. \nTheir world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. \nBy using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects\, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri\, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong\, reluctant god of bravery\, and mysterious Vasher\, the Warbreaker.

SUMMARY:Anna Rollins at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Blending memoir\, research\, and reporting\, Famished untangles the lies of diet and purity culture and encourages women to reclaim their appetites for life\, love\, and food\, both physical and spiritual. Interweaving her own story with those of other women she interviews\, Rollins discovers a sisterhood committed to finding freedom from body shame. Along the way\, she rewrites her own body’s story to include a purpose much greater than its size or parts or the roles she fills as daughter\, wife\, and mother\, a body well loved by her and beloved by God.\nAnna Rollins is the author of Famished: On Food\, Sex\, and Growing Up as a Good Girl. Her groundbreaking debut memoir examines the rhyming scripts of diet culture and evangelical purity culture\, both of which direct women to fear their own bodies and appetites. Her writing has appeared in outlets like The New York Times\, Slate\, Electric Literature\, Literary Hub\, Joyland\, and more.

SUMMARY:Ashley's Fiction Book Club at Booktenders: The Fox Wife
DESCRIPTION:Manchuria\, 1908.\nIn the last years of the dying Qing Empire\, a courtesan is found frozen in a doorway. Her death is clouded by rumors of foxes\, which are believed to lure people by transforming themselves into beautiful women and handsome men. Bao\, a detective with an uncanny ability to sniff out the truth\, is hired to uncover the dead woman’s identity. Since childhood\, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods\, yet they’ve remained tantalizingly out of reach—until\, perhaps\, now. \nMeanwhile\, a family who owns a famous Chinese medicine shop can cure ailments but can’t escape the curse that afflicts them—their eldest sons die before their twenty-fourth birthdays. When a disruptively winsome servant named Snow enters their household\, the family’s luck seems to change—or does it? \nSnow is a creature of many secrets\, but most of all she’s a mother seeking vengeance for her lost child. Hunting a murderer\, she will follow the trail from northern China to Japan\, while Bao follows doggedly behind. Navigating the myths and misconceptions of fox spirits\, both Snow and Bao will encounter old friends and new foes\, even as more deaths occur.

SUMMARY:Ashley's Fiction Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Beverly Underwood and her arch enemy\, Lula Dean\, live in the tiny town of Troy\, Georgia\, where they were born and raised. Now Beverly is on the school board\, and Lula has become a local celebrity by embarking on mission to rid the public libraries of all inappropriate books—none of which she’s actually read. To replace the “pornographic” books she’s challenged at the local public library\, Lula starts her own lending library in front of her home: a cute wooden hutch with glass doors and neat rows of the worthy literature that she’s sure the town’s readers need. \nWhat Lula doesn’t know is that a local troublemaker has stolen her wholesome books\, removed their dust jackets\, and restocked Lula’s library with banned books: literary classics\, gay romances\, Black history\, witchy spell books\, Judy Blume novels\, and more. One by one\, neighbors who borrow books from Lula Dean’s library find their lives changed in unexpected ways. Finally\, one of Lula Dean’s enemies discovers the library and decides to turn the tables on her\, just as Lula and Beverly are running against each other to replace the town’s disgraced mayor. \nThat’s when all the townspeople who’ve been borrowing from Lula’s library begin to reveal themselves. That’s when the showdown that’s been brewing between Beverly and Lula will roil the whole town…and change it forever.

Unsure why and how they got there\, she knows one thing for certain\, she has to find a way out. \nThat becomes nearly impossible when someone is meticulously orchestrating their deaths\, one by one\, and the only thing Jessica can do is watch the life leave their eyes. \nThe fenced-in town is the killer’s very own playground and there’s nowhere left to hide… she better watch out because she could be next.

SUMMARY:Dude Book Club: Slaughterhouse Five at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Slaughterhouse-Five\, an American classic\, is one of the world’s great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden\, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction\, science fiction\, autobiography\, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim\, a barber’s son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had\, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut\, he experiences time travel\, or coming “unstuck in time.”\nAn instant bestseller\, Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature\, a reputation that only strengthened over time\, despite his being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut’s writing—the political edginess\, the genre-bending inventiveness\, the frank violence\, the transgressive wit—that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it.\nFifty years after its initial publication at the height of the Vietnam War\, Vonnegut’s portrayal of political disillusionment\, PTSD\, and postwar anxiety feels as relevant\, darkly humorous\, and profoundly affecting as ever\, an enduring beacon through our own era’s uncertainties

SUMMARY:Jeff Mann at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Loving Mountains\, Loving Men is the first book- length treatment of a topic rarely discussed or examined before: gay life in Appalachia. Appalachians are known for their love of place\, yet many gays and lesbians from the mountains flee to urban areas. Jeff Mann tells the story of one who left and then returned\, who insists on claiming and celebrating both regional and erotic identities. In memoir and poetry\, Mann describes his life as an openly gay man who has remained true to his mountain roots. Mann first describes his upbringing in Hinton\, a small town in southern West Virginia\, as well his realization of his homosexuality\, his early experiences of homophobia\, his coterie of support lesbian friends\, and his initial attempts to escape his native region in hopes of finding a freer life in urban gay communities. Mann depicts his difficult search for a romantic relationship\, the family members who have given him the strength to defy convention\, his anger against religious intolerance and the violence of homophobia\, and his love for the rich folk culture of the Highland South. His character and values shaped by the mountains\, Mann has reconciled his homosexuality with both traditional definitions of Appalachian manhood and his own attachment to home and kin. Loving Mountains\, Loving Men is the compelling\, universal story of making peace with oneself and the wider world.
