SUMMARY:The June Book Club – Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett
DESCRIPTION:HOW have we gone this long having a book club for folklore-inspired books but failing to pick a Terry Pratchett book?? That oversight ends now. Join us on June 25th at 7PM ET to discuss Pratchett’s hilarious Discworld novel Witches Abroad! And don’t worry if you’ve never read a Discworld book before – we picked this one because it truly stands alone very well. Also: WITCHES. FAIRY TALES. SHENANIGANS. \nHere’s the publisher’s description: \n“Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart\, a wise head\, and poor planning skills—which\, unfortunately\, left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmother when death came for Desiderata. So now it’s up to Magrat Garlick\, Granny Weatherwax\, and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn’t marry the Prince. \nBut the road to Genua is bumpy\, and along the way the trio of witches encounters the occasional vampire\, werewolf\, and falling house (well this is a fairy tale\, after all). The trouble really begins once these reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who’ll stop at nothing to achieve a proper “happy ending”—even if it means destroying a kingdom.” \nAnd here are a few reviews: \n“Engaging\, surreal satire . . . nothing short of magical.” – Chicago Tribune \n“No one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect” – Daily Mail \n“One of our greatest fantasists\, and beyond a doubt the funniest.” – George R.R. Martin \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of June!

SUMMARY:The July Book Club - The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter
DESCRIPTION:HOW have we never done this one?? We are honestly baffled. Apparently this is the summer of correcting inexcusable oversights in book club! Join us on July 15th at 7PM ET to discuss Angela Carter’s brilliant short story collection\, The Bloody Chamber. This is the work that really kicked off all the subversive\, uncanny\, fascinating fairy-tale retellings we all love\, and we cannot wait to talk about it with you (especially the less popular but no less brilliant stories that we never get to talk about!) \nHere are a few reviews: \n“A wonderfully written book\, ironical\, cerebral\, elegant.” – Joyce Carol Oates\, The New York Times Book Review \n“She writes a prose that lends itself to magnificent set pieces of fastidious sensuality: dreams\, myths\, fairy tales\, metamorphoses\, the unruly unconscious\, epic journeys\, and a highly sensual celebration of sexuality in both its most joyous and darkest manifestations.” – Ian McEwan \n“She was\, among other things\, a quirky\, original\, and baroque styleist\, a trait especially marked in The Bloody Chamber – her vocabulary a mix of finely tuned phrase\, luscious adjective\, witty aphorism\, and hearty\, up-theirs vulgarity.” – Margaret Atwood\, The Observer \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of July!

SUMMARY:The August Book Club - The Mystery of the Bitten Peach by Cecilia Tan
DESCRIPTION:Join us on August 13th at 7PM ET to discuss Cecilia Tan’s delightful novella The Mystery of the Bitten Peach! \nHere’s the description: “Meet Mei\, a young Chinese American who has discovered she has the mystical ability to transport herself anywhere that is spiritually “China”-including Chinatowns around the world and different eras of Chinese history. As an adoptive child of the diaspora\, Mei was raised in America with no knowledge of Chinese folklore or fairy tales\, but when an antiques dealer friend needs help retrieving a mythic artifact-a jade carving of a peach that represented same-sex love in ancient China-she’s game to give it a try. Her quest sends Mei not only into the past\, but on a journey of self-discovery.” \nAnd here are some reviews! \n“Not to be missed.” – Shelley Parker-Chan\, author of She Who Will Become the Sun \n“Cup your hands around this enchanting tale of romance\, art\, and magic\, and savor its juice. An absolute gem!” – Jadie Jiang\, author of Monkey Around \n“The kind of story that burrows into my brain.” – Emma Mieko Candon\, author of The Archive Undying \nThis is a shorter read\, but it features a lot of the book club’s absolute favorite things\, so it would be a great first read with us if you’ve been considering signing up! To join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for August!
