Join us on Thursday, June 27 at 6 pm to discuss Ink and Bone, our June "Our Pick" Book Club selection. Copies of Ink and Bone are available for purchase at M and M Bookstore. Stop by or call today to secure your copy. This event is part of our Prima's Pick Summer Reading Program. Author Rachel Caine will be joining us via Skype to discuss the book. About the Book Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly—but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden. Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family, who are involved in the thriving black market. Jess has been sent to be his family’s spy, but his loyalties are tested in the final months of his training to enter the Library’s service. When his friend inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the world, Jess discovers that those who control the Great Library believe that knowledge is more valuable than any human life—and soon both heretics and books will burn… 2019-05-21 19:00:00 -0500

Author Reading: Kristine Plum

Join us as we welcome author Kristine Plum to M and Bookstore. Schedule for the Evening5 to 6: Mix & Mingle | 6 to 6:30: Reading & Q&A | 6:30 to 7: Book Signing Light refreshments may be served. About Kristine PlumKristine Plum lives in Iowa, where she was born and raised, with her husband, son and canine children. Her childhood was spent on the family farm with the animals, especially puppies! A series of events and choices gave her unexpected life experience while still a teenager, that she’s still learning from today. Kristine has been interested in history and the supernatural as far back as she can remember, and her imagination has always been wild. Her interests led her to degrees in History, Spanish, Music and Education from a small liberal arts college whose atmosphere helped to open her mind beyond the bubble of her small town upbringing, and helped further shape her into the person she is today. She passed on her aspirations to own a “living-history” castle museum in Europe to be a high school Spanish teacher. She has been blessed to have the opportunity to travel within the United States and to Europe multiple times. Spain and Italy hold special places in her heart. Working for over a decade in education gave her the determination, and courage to finally share one of the elaborate stories in her head with others. She greatly appreciates all of the support and encouragement from her friends and family! The supernatural has always been part of Kristine’s entertainment. The very first chapter book she read was “Sweet Valley Twins- The Haunted House”, followed soon after by “Wait Til Helen Comes” by Mary Downing Hahn. In the sixth grade Kristine read L.J. Smith’s “The Secret Circle” which she still claims as her favorite book(s), and reads the three book series at least once a year. Her favorite TV show is, was and ever will be “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. Although she has discovered enjoyment from other genres, usually recommendations from friends, she tends to stick to supernatural as her reading genre of choice. 2019-02-08 19:00:00 -0600

About Cassie LeighCASSIE LEIGH writes contemporary and paranormal romance that’s more than skin deep. Before she could write, she began dreaming up stories. Starting with recorded conversations for her dolls on a Fisher-Price cassette player, she moved on to an antique typewriter found at a garage sale, then an electric typewriter, and finally computers. It wasn’t until she picked up romance novels in her late twenties that she found where she belonged. With the help of her husband, she carves out time to write while raising five children, working full time and obsessing over her laundry list of eccentric passions. Every new obsession seems to find its way into her romance world! 2019-02-08 19:00:00 -0600

He self-published his first book, Remembering Willy, and All the Others, and received silver medal awards from veteran’s associations. His latest book, Free Fire Zone is a collection of short military stories.“A lot of men came back from Vietnam, and they dealt with their PTSD in a number of ways, usually women, drugs or creativity,” he says. “I chose creativity.”During this hour of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe talks with Maulsby about his writing and his new book of connected short stories.http://iowapublicradio.org/post/wounds-war-and-poetry-using-creativity-heal#stream/0 2019-04-17 19:00:00 -0500

Author Reading: S.P. Jayaraj

Please join us as we welcome S.P. Jayaraj to M and M Bookstore. About S.P. JayarajS.P. Jayaraj’s creative writing will bring you into a wider world and leave you there to contemplate every real and imagined thing around you. Whether it is his poetry, his CNF essays, or his fiction, Jayaraj’s creativity, multiculturalism, and unique insights come together to tap on our heart, open our mind, and arouse our natural childlike curiosity for lives that are not our own. His created world of Adijari, and every story he writes for it is a reflection of his soul. Jayaraj is constantly studying different mythological beliefs around the world and the similarities between them. He processes this through storytelling and through Adijari, where it all comes together seamlessly as a full and expansive mythology in its own right. Currently drawing heavily on various East Indian, Nordic, and Persian mythologies, there is no telling where else it will go, as each new story of Adijari takes us into new territory to deeper understand the awesome world that it is. His new and reimagined fantasy races of Adijari make us consider our own spiritual relationships to other life, our planet, and the universe beyond. 2019-04-29 12:30:00 -0500

Well-Read Black Girl Book Club: Freshwater

The AAMI/Next Page Books Well-Read Black Girl book club will continue with a discussion of Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi. Read on for a description from the <a href="https://groveatlantic.com/book/freshwater/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">publisher</a>:“One of the most highly praised novels of the year, the debut from an astonishing young writer, Freshwater tells the story of Ada, an unusual child who is a source of deep concern to her southern Nigerian family. Young Ada is troubled, prone to violent fits. Born “with one foot on the other side,” she begins to develop separate selves within her as she grows into adulthood. And when she travels to America for college, a traumatic event on campus crystallizes the selves into something powerful and potentially dangerous, making Ada fade into the background of her own mind as these alters—now protective, now hedonistic—move into control. Written with stylistic brilliance and based in the author’s realities, Freshwater dazzles with ferocious energy and serpentine grace.”This is a free event open to the public, but <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/well-read-black-girl-book-club-freshwater-tickets-62506976048">registration</a> is requested to help us plan for space and refreshments.

Once a Ponzi Time, a new show at Old Creamery Theatre

Harold Vanderdoff has advised his friends about their finances for years with impossibly good results... but when his pyramid scheme begins to crumble he must rely on his flaky father and naive nephew to bamboozle the authorities. Shady investments and double-dealing abound in this brand new fantastically funny financial farce!
