SUMMARY:Riot Reads Book Club
DESCRIPTION:For August\, we’re reading Seven Days in June by Tia Williams! \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\nAbout the Riot Reads Book Club \n\n\n\nInterested in reading books by authors whose voices are often pushed to the margins? Join this book club focusing on books about social justice from authors who know what they’re talking about. Topics include culture\, disability\, politics\, race\, religion\, sexuality\, sex and gender\, socioeconomic status\, and anything else we want to put on the table. \n\n\n\nWe understand that life gets busy. And we also get that\, for many of us\, talking about books is a launching pad to talk about the things most important to us. So\, even if you haven’t had a chance to finish the book (or even get that far into it…)\, please feel free to join us for a lively discussion. Anyone is welcome! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Seven Days in June by Tia Williams \n\n\n\nTwo writers get a second chance at love in this romantic\, sexy-as-hell New York Times bestselling novel. \n\n\n\nEva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer. Shane Hall is a reclusive\, award-winning novelist. When the two meet at a literary event\, sparks fly\, raising not only their buried traumas\, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. What no one knows is that when they were teenager\, Eva and Shane spent one crazy week madly in love. They can pretend they’ve never met\, but they can’t deny their chemistry–or the fact that they’ve been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years. \n\n\n\nWith its keen observations of creative life in America today\, as well as the joys and complications of being a mother and a daughter\, Seven Days in June is a hilarious starcrossed romance.

SUMMARY:Riot Reads Book Club
DESCRIPTION:For September\, we’re reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune! \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\nAbout the Riot Reads Book Club \n\n\n\nInterested in reading books by authors whose voices are often pushed to the margins? Join this book club focusing on books about social justice from authors who know what they’re talking about. Topics include culture\, disability\, politics\, race\, religion\, sexuality\, sex and gender\, socioeconomic status\, and anything else we want to put on the table. \n\n\n\nWe understand that life gets busy. And we also get that\, for many of us\, talking about books is a launching pad to talk about the things most important to us. So\, even if you haven’t had a chance to finish the book (or even get that far into it…)\, please feel free to join us for a lively discussion. Anyone is welcome! \n\n\n\nAbout The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune \n\n\n\nA magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret. \n\n\n\nLinus Baker leads a quiet\, solitary life. At forty\, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth\, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages. \n\n\n\nWhen Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he’s given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage\, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome\, a sprite\, a wyvern\, an unidentifiable green blob\, a were-Pomeranian\, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days. \n\n\n\nBut the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus\, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur and Linus grow closer\, long-held secrets are exposed\, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn. \n\n\n\nAn enchanting story\, masterfully told\, The House in the Cerulean Sea is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place—and realizing that family is yours.
