Fantasy Book Club: January Voting!
Details
Join us for our next book club meeting at Barnes & Noble Starbucks in Poughkeepsie!
We are currently voting on your next read. The options are:
- The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
- The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
- Magic's Pawn by Mercades Lackey
- A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland
Voting is mostly done on our group's Discord but you can also cast a vote by posting a comment on this event before 9:30pm on Sunday 12/21.
New members are welcome!
Note that this is an informal event and we'll just be snagging tables in the cafe area to discuss — please don't ask the baristas or Barns & Noble employees for help finding the club because they won't know where to point you. Its a small area so you should be able to find us pretty easily. :-)
When joining, we do ask that everyone please make a purchase at the venue, so we can support our local businesses and have them happy for us to return. :-)
MORE ABOUT OUR CLUB:
If you're looking for a place to read (or re-read!) and discuss fantasy and/or romantasy books, you've come to the right place! We read a mix of popular fantasy, romantasy, and classic literature with fantasy elements. From Tolkien and ancient Greek tragedies to A Court of Thorns and Roses and Legends & Lattes.
This is a 21+ (we read books with adult themes and sometimes meet in bars) LGBT+ friendly book club. We don't exclusively read queer books, and you don't need to be queer to join, but you MUST be an ally comfortable reading books where queer themes, characters, and relationships are present either in the background or in a central capacity.
We meet twice a month and aim to read roughly 100 pages a week. If you fall behind, no worries! Just expect there will be spoilers in discussion if you still join in. If you're not interested in a title or don't have time to read for a few weeks, feel free to skip and join in on the next one!
We also have a Discord for continued discussions and easier book voting. After attending an in-person event you'll be given an invitation to the Discord via message on Meetup. :-)
