SUMMARY:Dude Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:The Visions by Tom King \nThe android Avenger known as the Vision wants to be human — and what’s more human than family? So he heads back to the beginning — to the laboratory where Ultron created him as a weapon. The place where he first rebelled against his destiny and imagined that he could be more — that he could be a man. There\, he builds them. A wife\, Virginia. Teenage twins\, Viv and Vin. They look like him. They have his powers. They share his grandest ambition (or obsession): the unrelenting need to be ordinary. Behold the Visions! Theirs is a story of togetherness and tragedy — one that will set the former Avenger on course for a devastating confrontation with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Acclaimed creators Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta present one of the 21st century’s most celebrated Marvel comics!

SUMMARY:Author Pamela Steele at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our second author in the Voices of Appalachian Women series with Pamela Steele! The book is including in the price of the ticket. If you’ve already purchased the book then that is your ticket.\n\nFor enjoyers of Jeannette Walls and Barbara Kingsolver\, a young couple is torn apart by both global conflict and their families’ ancient feud in this love story set in rural Appalachia during the Vietnam War.\nIn late 1960s Appalachia\, many things loom darkly over June Branham: the Vietnam War is dividing the country\, and a strip mine is eating away the mountain at the head of the holler where she lives\, threatening the natural landscape and the only way of life she has ever known. While still in high school\, June has fallen in love. She is pregnant\, and the father may be Ellis Akers. Ellis is the son of Solomon\, a mortal enemy of June’s stepfather\, Isom. The feud is so old it fuels two vengeful men with the power of long animosity between rival families.\nJune’s brother\, Tom\, leaves to enlist in the war\, and so does Ellis. Suddenly\, June is on her own at sixteen with a newborn\, and is a mother unable to protect her daughter from the wrath of Isom. Without warning\, her baby is kidnapped. Guided by her love for the generations of women before her\, but now desperately alone\, June must carefully navigate the search for her child alongside family and strangers in a wild and disappearing landscape.\nIn the Fields of the Fatherless Children is a powerful story of love and perseverance\, masterfully told by a writer of exquisite care who knows intimately the rural people of this time and place.

SUMMARY:Ashley's Fiction Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Ending by Maria Riva \nUkraine\, 2022. Yeva is a maverick scientist who scours the country’s forests\, trying and failing to breed rare snails. To fund her work\, she entertains Westerners who come to Ukraine on guided romance tours believing they’ll find docile wives. Nastia and Solomiya are also entangled in the booming marriage industry\, posing as a hopeful bride and her translator. Together\, the three women embark on the journey of a lifetime with a truckful of kidnapped bachelors and a last-of-his-kind snail—that is\, until Russia invades. \nA darkly comic novel\, Endling draws on Reva’s own experiences as a Ukrainian expat tracking her family’s delicate dance of survival behind enemy lines. As fiction and reality collide on the page\, she probes the hard truths of war: What stories must we tell ourselves to survive? Once shattered\, can our sense of normalcy and security ever be restored? Endling is a metafictional tour de force weaving love\, loss\, humor\, and devastation in a story only this author can tell.

SUMMARY:Stories of Resilience Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jenette McCurdy \nJennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star\, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction\,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided\, “Your eyelashes are invisible\, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries\, email\, and all her income. \nIn I’m Glad My Mom Died\, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly\, she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic\, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”)\, Jennette is riddled with anxiety\, shame\, and self-loathing\, which manifest into eating disorders\, addiction\, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when\, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande\, her mother dies of cancer. Finally\, after discovering therapy and quitting acting\, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants.

SUMMARY:Amy's Romance Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:The Boyfriend Subscription by Steven Salvatore \nWhat happens when a simple deal gets…complicated? After losing his marriage and his beloved retail plant business\, Teddy Hughes is ready to drown his sorrows—or would be\, if he could afford another beer in his favorite dive bar. He has no choice but to uproot his dreams and leave New York for good. And then a gorgeous stranger walks in with cheekbones that could cut glass and a confidence that leaves Teddy panting. \nLike the leather harness he wears under his designer suit\, Cole Vivien is a mass of contradictions. He’s a successful entrepreneur whose app\, VERSTL\, allows consumers and sex workers to form real—if temporary—connections. But now Cole is in the unfamiliar position of needing something from someone else. A fake boyfriend can help Cole project a more traditional image for a potential investor. And Teddy—shy\, smart and so much hotter than he knows—is perfect for the part. Maybe too perfect. \nCole just has two conditions: no kissing and no falling in love. In exchange for one week together\, Teddy will get enough money to get back on his feet\, and no messy feelings will be in the mix. \nBut some rules are made to be broken…

SUMMARY:Resilience Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:This month’s title: Not My Type by E. Jean Carroll \nYou’ve heard about the tantrums\, the seething\, the storming out of court\, yes. But what about E. Jean’s side of the story? What about the flight suits\, the bottle of green Chartreuse\, and the bob? \nNot My Type puts you in a better seat than the jury box. \nYou will hear Alina Habba\, Esq.\, “Trump’s most beautiful attorney\,” asking E. Jean to “list” the people she has “slept with”—a list which turns out to be so marvelous\, it is worth twice the price of this book. You will experience the fear and loathing of E. Jean’s “psychiatric evaluations\,” and hear how she tries to cheer up Trump’s gloomy\, $750-an-hour shrink by telling him about the strange white tablet Hunter S. Thompson gave her. \nYou will be in on the choosing of the “clothes for court\,” and the creation of “the look”: a look that will help the jury connect the younger E. Jean who is attacked by Trump in Bergdorf’s with the older E. Jean who sits in the courtroom. \nIt’s all here: two dazzling trials\, the full-tilt high stakes\, the laugh-out-loud commentary\, and the inspiring fact that a woman is never too old to get even.

SUMMARY:Fright Book Club at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Morsel is a delicious folk horror debut about learning to bite back when the world is determined to eat you alive. \nLou did what the children of parents with backbreaking\, poorly paying jobs are supposed to do: pulled up her bootstraps\, went to college\, and got an office gig with coworkers who won’t stop talking about their multilevel marketing scheme disguised as self-betterment. \nWhen Lou accepts a property appraisal assignment in the rural hills of Ohio\, she knows it’s her last chance to save her job and keep making rent. But she quickly finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with a sabotaged truck\, her dog\, and someone–or something–stalking her through the ancient Appalachian woods. \nIf she can’t escape the woods in time\, she’ll see firsthand that her job isn’t the only thing that wants to eat her alive.

DESCRIPTION:This month’s title: Let’s Call Her Barbie by Renee Rosen \nWhen Ruth Handler walks into the boardroom of the toy company she co-founded and pitches her idea for a doll unlike any other\, she knows what she’s setting in motion. It might just take the world a moment to catch up. \nIn 1956\, the only dolls on the market for little girls let them pretend to be mothers.

Because Barbie has never been just a doll—she’s a legacy.

SUMMARY:Eden Crowe Author Event at Booktenders
DESCRIPTION:Eden Crowe\, aka The Moth Ma’am\, likes to write wild and wonderful romance about cozy monsters with carnal urges. As a native Appalachian\, she enjoys writing strong characters who find pride in who they are and who they love. Eden believes that there’s no greater romance than a good book\, a strong cup of coffee\, and maybe a cryptid or two for company. Photos of Eden are never quite in focus\, but she invites you to live\, laugh\, and lurk with her on her various corners of the creepy\, crawly web.\n\nMingling with Mothman Book Description:\nThere are a million reasons why Mayor Clay Carlile should never fall for his gorgeous and curvy new social media intern\, but the biggest reason of all might just be her father. In nearly twenty years of political tenure\, he’s been Clay’s only opponent\, and his distaste for all of the monsters who call Mistwood\, WV\, home is more than well known. Not to mention\, a scathing letter he sent to the tabloids trying to out Clay as the state’s most notorious cryptid has an uncomfortable amount of eyes focusing on this mothy mayoral candidate just in time for election season. But how is Clay supposed to resist a woman who shines so bright?\nAva Pratt is nothing like the man who raised her\, and she’s lived her life abroad proving just that. Despite it all\, she can’t help but believe there’s still some good left in her father and is determined to help him see reason. She hasn’t been back to Mistwood in two decades\, but when a job posting from her hometown slides into her inbox\, it seems like the perfect political strategy to take the temporary office position playing intern to her father’s biggest enemy\, if only to help them both understand one another better. But the last thing Ava expects is to find herself falling for her new boss.\nA work trip goes awry when a sudden snow storm leaves the pair stranded at a no-tell motel. This single-bed-situation seems prime for media scandal\, but when Clay reveals more than just his true form\, the two must face the forbidden nature of their budding romance and decide whether it’s best to stay hidden\, waiting in the wings\, or find a way to face the public – and Ava’s father. Can the pair sort through all the legends and lore to learn that seeing is believing? And will their love find a way to show others the light?

And the book is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . . . which helpfully has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large\, friendly letters on its cover. \nDouglas Adams’s mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit\, plays havoc with both time and physics\, offers up pithy commentary on such things as ballpoint pens\, potted plants\, and digital watches . . . and\, most important\, reveals the ultimate answer to life\, the universe\, and everything. \nNow\, if you could only figure out the question. . . . \n

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.
