Well-Read Black Girl Book Club: The Sun Is Also a Sta

<p>Join us for a discussion of the best selling novel The Sun is Also a Star ahead of the release of its movie adaptation on May 17!</p><p><br></p><h5>About this Event</h5><p><strong>The AAMI is partnering with</strong><a href="http://npbnewbo.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong> Next Page Books</strong></a><strong> to host a Well-Read Black Girl book club.</strong></p><p>The AAMI/Next Page Books Well-Read Black Girl book club will kick off with a discussion of Nicola Yoon’s 2016 best seller, <em>The Sun is Also a Star</em>. This novel explores the relationship between Natasha, a girl facing the looming prospect of her family’s deportation, "who believes in science and facts,” and Daniel, a boy who strives to be “the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations.” Over the course of a single day the two meet and start to fall in love. <em>The Sun is Also a Star</em> “[t]ranscends the limits of YA as a human story about falling in love and seeking out our futures” (POPSUGAR.com), making this an ideal book for teens and adults alike.</p><p><strong>This is a free event open to the public, but registration is requested to help us plan for space and refreshments. Get a 20% off discount on </strong><em><strong>The Sun is Also a Star </strong></em><strong>at Next Page Books when you present your registration confirmation.</strong></p><p>The Well-Read Black Girl movement started as an Instagram account created by author Glory Edim and has grown into a thriving online community and Brooklyn-based festival celebrating the literary contributions of black women. The AAMI book club will meet monthly to discuss selected books by women of color. Book selections will range in genre and theme and will be available to purchase at Next Page Books.</p> 2019-04-24 19:00:00 -0500

Skype Appearance: Rachel Caine

<p>Author Rachel Caine will be joining us <em>via Skype</em> on Thursday, June 27 at 6 pm to discuss Ink and Bone, our June "Our Pick" Book Club selection.</p><p>Copies of Ink and Bone are available for purchase at M and M Bookstore. Stop by or call today to secure your copy.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>About Ink and Bone</u></strong></p><p>First in a new YA series from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine, this is a thrilling blend of alternate history, magic, romance, and adventure, set in a world where ownership of books is forbidden.</p><p>The Great Library of Alexandria has survived the ages, and is now a worldwide presence in every major city, every country…a network of vast information, curated by the greatest scholars. Alchemy allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly, in every location, upon command…yet personal ownership of books is now forbidden, and unrest against the Library has created the Burners, a defiant fringe group.</p><p>Jess Brightwell comes from a mercenary family of book smugglers…and as his father’s unwilling spy inside the Library, he will stumble on the truth: this bright world of letters has a dark side. And Jess, in inventing the world’s first printing press, has committed heresy.</p><p>And both heretics and books burn.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>About Rachel Caine</u></strong></p><p>Rachel Caine is the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of more than thirty novels, including the Weather Warden series, the Outcast Season series, the Revivalist series, and the Morganville Vampires series.</p> 2019-05-01 19:00:00 -0500
