Author Rachel Caine will be joining us via Skype to discuss the book.<br><br>About the Book<br>An unusual murder brings together three strangers, John, Jack, and Charles, on a rainy night in London during the first World War. An eccentric little man called Bert tells them that they are now the caretakers of the Imaginarium Geographica -- an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale. These lands, Bert claims, can be traveled to in his ship the Indigo Dragon, one of only seven vessels that is able to cross the Frontier between worlds into the Archipelago of Dreams.&nbsp;<br><br>Pursued by strange and terrifying creatures, the companions flee London aboard the Dragonship. Traveling to the very realm of the imagination itself, they must learn to overcome their fears and trust in one another if they are to defeat the dark forces that threaten the destiny of two worlds. And in the process, they will share a great adventure filled with clues that lead readers to the surprise revelation of the legendary storytellers these men will one day become.&nbsp;<br><br>An extraordinary journey of myth, magic, and mystery, Here, There Be Dragons introduces James A. Owen as a formidable new talent.</p> 2019-06-23 19:00:00 -0500

• Book Club: The Beekeeper's Apprentice

  <p>Join us as we read and discuss The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King. &nbsp;Copies of the book are available via M and M Bookstore.<br><br>Light refreshments may be served.<br><br>About the Book:<br>In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles onto him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern, twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. They are soon called to Wales to help Scotland Yard find the kidnapped daughter of an American senator, a case of international significance with clues that dip deep into Holmes's past. Full of brilliant deduction, disguises, and danger, The Beekeeper's Apprentice, the first book of the Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes mysteries, is "remarkably beguiling" (The Boston Globe).</p> 2019-06-23 19:00:00 -0500

• Art Exhibit: Cedar River Artisans

  <p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present the Cedar River Artisans, a collective of &nbsp;Iowa artists interested in discussion between diverse subject matter and medium. Participating artists include: Dean Dunkel, Robert Fox, Nancy Lindsay, Marty Mitchell, Tom Newport, Elizabeth Rhoads Read and Lou Wendel.</p><p><br></p><p>The artists within the collective work independently to each develop their visual style; paintings, ceramics, sculptures, fiber works, and photography are featured in this exhibit. Variance between the works gives the viewer a space to explore and fuels energy in situ. Cedar River Artisans initially started as a group of artists who met weekly over lunch to talk about art and give one another support and advice. Over time, their gatherings evolved to a point where they decided to show together. The coterie has exhibited together across Iowa and beyond since 2011, and, as independent artists, received several awards and merits. Many of the participants’ artworks can be found in corporate and private collections throughout the Midwest.</p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.
