You can visit him at brentdragoo.com. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book \nSophie is a young woman suddenly diagnosed with a rare\, and lethal\, blood disease. Orphaned just after birth\, this ambitious art and antiques thief with a dozen different identities in her wallet realizes that the only escape from a slow\, certain\, and painful death can be found hidden in pages of the enigmatic Book of Blues Daggers. \n But as she contrives a plan to steal the coveted book\, she quickly realizes why so many others have become doomed in their quest to find it.   \nThe Book of Blue Daggers has a mind\, and agenda\, all its own\, and will only allow itself to be put into the hands of those that can further its utterly inscrutable means.    \nAs Sophie’s life slowly ticks away\, and as she becomes dangerously obsessed with obtaining the book\, she finds herself drawn into a dire conflict that has been slowly burning for centuries. Alchemical mysteries\, cults devoted to immortality\, and billionaires seeking to extend their lives by any means possible oppose her at every turn.   \nWith the shadows of mortality closing in tight\, Sophie must utilize all her cunning and wits to outsmart not only those that seek The Book of Blue Daggers\, but to outplay and unlock the reality shattering secret hidden deep within the pages of the book itself.   \nFilled with nail-biting suspense\, this dreadful mystery full of shocking twists\, “The Book of Blue Daggers” will keep your hands gripped to the pages from the first sentence to the last stunning words.   \n\n\n\nThis event is Pay-What-You-Can.

All proceeds of purchases made through Indy Reads support our English literacy programs. \n\n\n\nSongs for All Souls by Norbert Krapf \n“Norbert Krapf’s Songs for All Souls offers us a Book of Prayer whereby we are able to enter “the garden as the veil between us and spirits stretched thin.” We enter that space of the Divine\, gazing in wonder at the love with which our God embraces us and our loved ones. May we find peace and joy as we unburden our sorrow and hurt\, even anger\, when we pray and “see with the help of the light… with new eyes.” Norbert’s poems help us learn “a new language for prayer.” – Father Larry Richardt \n“Here Norbert Krapf gifts us with psalms for our time with a depth and clarity that touches the heart. These psalms sing with poignancy and simplicity and directness-just as do the original psalms of David. They speak with immediacy of every-day experiences we all can share in-celebrating the planting of tomatoes\, lunching in cemeteries with the kids\, listening to Divinity sing\, observing that being interwoven means we are of one cloth. From “Garden Liturgies” to “Gods and Religion\,” from grief to hope and back again\, we are invited into deepened states of awareness and contemplation.”- Matthew Fox\, recipient of the Abbey Courage of Conscience Peace Award\, author of Naming the Unnameable: 89 Wonderful and Useful Names for God \n\n\n\nNorbert Krapf\, Indiana poet laureate from 2008 to 2010\, was born in 1943 in Jasper\, Indiana\, a German-Catholic town in southern Indiana. He received his bachelor of arts degree in English from Saint Joseph College in 1965 and his MA and PhD in English from the University of Notre Dame. He taught at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University where he directed the C.W. Post Poetry Center. He has frequently contributed to Traces of Indiana and Midwestern History and has previously published a book with the Indiana Historical Society Press\, The Ripest Moments\, a memoir of his youth in Jasper. \n\n\n\nThis Event is Pay-What-You-Can \nHere’s what your suggested donation can do for the Indy Reads community: \nFREE – This ticket is for attendees that would like to attend this event and are unable to purchase a ticket.

SUMMARY:Bilingual Children's Reading: Andrea Winter
DESCRIPTION:Join Andrea Winter for a Spanish/English reading of her children’s book\, “Good Morning\, Moon!/¡Buenos Días\, Luna!” on February 25th at 1pm.\n\n\nJoin Andrea Winter for a Spanish/English reading of her children’s book\, Good Morning\, Moon!/¡Buenos Días\, Luna!\, on February 25th at 1pm. \nCalling all families! Join Indy Reads in our community bookstore for a reading of Good Morning\, Moon!/¡Buenos Días\, Luna! by Andrea Winter. We will enjoy a story time for all ages together! \nSigned copies of the book will be available throughout the event. All proceeds from purchases made through Indy Reads support our adult literacy programming. \n\n\n\nIn Good Morning\, Moon/Buenos Días\, Luna\, a young boy sees the moon in the morning and is full of wonder about the moon’s adventures- what it sees\, hears and does at night.  \nGood Morning\, Moon/Buenos Días\, Luna is a wonderful resource for strengthening reading comprehension in Spanish and English while learning about God’s creation. It is easy to read with English and Spanish side by side. Children will learn about the phases of the moon\, how the moon’s light helps sea turtles and more! The conversation ties together the concept of the sun reflecting its light off of the moon like Christ’s light shines in and through children of God as we fix our eyes on Jesus. The moon helps us to remember to lift our eyes to Jesus to behold His light and glory. There is a devotional at the end of the book with a focused prayer and song about shining our lights for Jesus.  \nGood Morning\, Moon/Buenos Días\, Luna is a perfect gift for children between ages 8 and 11 (2nd to 5th grade). This version is in paperback format.  \nThere is also a hardback version for ages 2 to 7 called Good Morning Moon/Buenos Días\, Luna that has the same storyline but is simplified for a younger audience. Both versions are bilingual to encourage reading and worshipping in both Spanish and English.  \n\n\n\nAndrea Winter is a local author with a passion for creating books that support families who want to create a bilingual reading experience for their children. She also has a love for nature and encourages readers to step into wonder as they admire God’s Creation. \nRecently while living in her birth state of Texas again\, she found inspiration for writing. One August evening\, she read “Good Night\, Texas” to a friend’s child. She loves walks in nature\, and on her morning walk the next day\, she saw the moon and thought\, “you could say\, “Good Morning\, Moon.” Andrea went home and wrote Good Morning\, Luna/Buenos Días\, Moon. She also found inspiration for ideas in her book from her experience teaching science in Spanish the year before to elementary students in Kissimmee\, Florida. \nDuring this time\, Andrea began blogging about the many experiences she had traveling the world and about her adventures traveling one conversation at a time with neighbors from around the world within her community of Allen\, Texas. Andrea believes our community is a beautiful mosaic of cultures like the mosaic art featured in Parque Güell in Barcelona\, Spain that was one of her dream places to visit in her travels around the world. \n\n\n\nThis Event is Pay-What-You-Can \nHere’s what your suggested donation can do for the Indy Reads community: \nFREE – This ticket is for attendees that would like to attend this event and are unable to purchase a ticket.

SUMMARY:Riot Reads Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We’re back! For March\, we’re reading The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson! A cozy read to beat the winter blues. \n\n\n\nWe will meet at Indy Reads\, as usual. To get to the room\, pass the checkout counter\, go down the hall\, and take a left. Masks welcome\, but not mandatory. \n\n\n\nThe Seed Keeper by Diane WilsonRosalie Iron Wing has grown up in the woods with her father\, Ray\, a former science teacher who tells her stories of plants\, of the stars\, of the origins of the Dakota people. Until\, one morning\, Ray doesn’t return from checking his traps. Told she has no family\, Rosalie is sent to live with a foster family in nearby Mankato—where the reserved\, bookish teenager meets rebellious Gaby Makespeace\, in a friendship that transcends the damaged legacies they’ve inherited. \n\n\n\nOn a winter’s day many years later\, Rosalie returns to her childhood home. A widow and mother\, she has spent the previous two decades on her white husband’s farm\, finding solace in her garden even as the farm is threatened first by drought and then by a predatory chemical company. Now\, grieving\, Rosalie begins to confront the past\, on a search for family\, identity\, and a community where she can finally belong. In the process\, she learns what it means to be descended from women with souls of iron—women who have protected their families\, their traditions\, and a precious cache of seeds through generations of hardship and loss\, through war and the insidious trauma of boarding schools. \n\n\n\nWeaving together the voices of four indelible women\, The Seed Keeper is a beautifully told story of reawakening\, of remembering our original relationship to the seeds and\, through them\, to our ancestors.
