Join fantasy fans to discuss new worlds and novels with like-minded readers.

 

Bring along your current or most recent fantasy read to talk about with the group for this online book group. For this December meeting, participants are encouraged to read a companion novel, prequel or a book in a multiverse (suggestions below), but all fantasy reads are good fodder for discussion. High and low fantasy, contemporary or classic—it’s all perfect to bring along to discuss during these book club meetings. New members are welcome! Each participant will be asked to read the first line of the fantasy novel they’ve selected and share a bit about the book.
Participants are also encouraged to prepare a cup of tea or coffee to enjoy during the meeting. This book club is facilitated by Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager Celeste Rhoads.

Suggestions for Prequels, Companions, and Books as part of Multiverses:

An Ember in the Ashes and A Thief Among the Trees: An Ember in the Ashes Graphic Novel by Sabaa Tahir

Dune by Frank Herbert and House Atreides by Brian Herbert

The Hunger Games and Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Twilight and Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer (bonus points if you watch Lindsay Ellis’ video on the topic)

 

 

 

Advance registration is required for this book group (sign-up HERE). Once registered, participants will be sent an email with instructions to join the online meeting. Participation in this book group is open to Library members, and free of charge. If you are not yet a Library member, but would like to participate, please join the Library before the first session.
