Silent Book Club – Monday, September 22nd at 6:30pm
Have you heard about the new trendy reading groups where people gather to read silently? We’ll meet after hours at the library on Monday, September 22nd at 6:30. We’ll spend some time getting snacks, and grab a book from our pile to keep. Then find a cozy seat and read in a room with other readers, no conversation required! This month’s book is Half Sick of Shadows by Laura Sebastian.
“Everyone knows the legend. Of Arthur, destined to be a king. Of the beautiful Guinevere, who will betray him with his most loyal knight, Lancelot. Of the bitter sorceress, Morgana, who will turn against them all. But Elaine alone carries the burden of knowing what is to come–for Elaine of Shalott is cursed to see the future.
On the mystical isle of Avalon, Elaine runs free and learns of the ancient prophecies surrounding her and her friends–countless possibilities, almost all of them tragic.
When their future comes to claim them, Elaine, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Morgana accompany Arthur to take his throne in stifling Camelot, where magic is outlawed, the rules of society chain them, and enemies are everywhere. Yet the most dangerous threats may come from within their own circle.
As visions are fulfilled and an inevitable fate closes in, Elaine must decide how far she will go to change fate–and what she is willing to sacrifice along the way.”
You can pick up a free copy of Half Sick of Shadows, or you can bring your own book to read.
This book group book is appropriate for ages 16+. Light refreshments will be served.
