📚 You’re Invited: Book’d Up — A Black Everywhere Book Club Experience 📚 Black voices. Bold stories. Beautiful community.
📚 October 2025 Book Club Pick: Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
This October, as the nights grow longer and shadows stretch a little further, we’re diving into a chilling and provocative YA thriller that’s as socially urgent as it is suspenseful. Ace of Spades is a gripping, genre-bending debut that combines the razor-sharp social critique of Get Out with the intrigue of Gossip Girl — and trust us, it’s impossible to put down.
At Niveus Private Academy, Devon and Chiamaka are two of the top students, each with promising futures. But when anonymous texts from someone named Aces begin to reveal their darkest secrets, it becomes clear that someone is out to destroy them. What starts as high school drama soon spirals into something far more sinister — and deeply rooted in systemic power, privilege, and race.
Why you’ll love this pick:
• Perfect for fans of dark academia, high-stakes drama, and tightly woven mysteries
• Tackles critical themes like institutional racism, tokenism, and identity
• October-appropriate thrills with a thought-provoking core
Discussion Questions We’ll Explore:
• How does the book use suspense to highlight social issues?
• What does “power” look like in the world of Ace of Spades?
• Who gets to define the narrative — and what happens when that power is challenged?
🃏 Meeting Details:
📅 Date: Saturday, October 25, 2025
🕒 Time: 3:00 – 5:00 PM (PST)
📍 Location: Virtual (link will be sent upon RSVP)
Grab your copy, turn off your phone (or don’t — you never know when Aces might text), and get ready for a hauntingly relevant read that will stay with you long after the final pages.
