SUMMARY:Book Group: Gods of Jade and Shadow
DESCRIPTION:Library AF\nUpdate - Check the date adjustment! We are meeting
  on 10/21 (instead of 10/14). Please enjoy the extra week 😊\n\nI'm fina
 lly ready to dip my toe into the extraordinary literary world of Silvia Mo
 reno-Garcia! Her works have consistently popped up on "best of" lists and 
 "great book club selections\," so I'm looking forward to cracking the spin
 e on [Gods of Jade and Shadow](https://catalog.saclibrary.org/GroupedWork/

 x=1&page=1&searchSource=local&referred=resultIndex)\, a Goodreads Choice A
 ward nominee for Favorite Fantasy (2019).\n\n"**The Mayan god of death sen
 ds a young woman on a harrowing\, life-changing journey in this one-of-a-k
 ind fairy tale inspired by Mexican folklore.**\n\nThe Jazz Age is in full 
 swing\, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy gr
 andfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless\, she dreams
  of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she ca
 n call her own.\n\nYet this new life seems as distant as the stars\, until
  the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. She o
 pens it—and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death\, wh
 o requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother.
  Failure will mean Casiopea’s demise\, but success could make her dreams
  come true.\n\nIn the company of the strangely alluring god and armed with
  her wits\, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-cou
 ntry odyssey from the jungles of Yucatán to the bright lights of Mexico C
 ity—and deep into the darkness of the Mayan underworld."\n\nSynopsis fro

SUMMARY:Book Group: Why We Click
DESCRIPTION:Library AF\nA few Library AF book group members might remember
  author Kate Murphy's first book\, *[You're Not Listening](https://catalog
 .saclibrary.org/GroupedWork/5f8a8e63-30d8-46a4-e6eb-078da68e4716-eng/Home?
 searchId=19181948&recordIndex=1&page=1&searchSource=local&referred=resultI
 ndex)*\, from a few years ago and the discussion that came of it. I was th
 rilled to see her second book pop up in the library's catalog! So much so 
 that I asked our Collection Services Department to make a Book Group Kit\,
  thus enabling us to borrow it for our meeting 😁 I look forward to roun
 ding out the 2026 reading year with *[Why We Click: the Emerging Science o
 f Interpersonal Synchron](https://catalog.saclibrary.org/Record/.b2812392x
 ?searchId=19181622&recordIndex=1&page=1&referred=resultIndex)*[y](https://
 catalog.saclibrary.org/Record/.b2812392x?searchId=19181622&recordIndex=1&p
 age=1&referred=resultIndex).\n\n"**Why do you immediately click with some 
 people while others just as inexplicably turn you off? Do people emit vibe
 s? Is it possible to read a room? Are bad habits contagious?**\n\nKate Mur
 phy\, author of the international bestseller *You’re Not Listening*\, an
 swers these and other fascinating questions in *Why We Click*\, the first 
 book that explores the emerging science and outsize impact of interpersona
 l synchrony\, the most consequential social dynamic most people have never
  heard of. Interpersonal synchrony is the seemingly magical\, yet now scie
 ntifically documented\, tendency of human beings to fall into rhythm and f
 ind resonance with one another.\n\nNot only do we subconsciously match one
  another’s movements\, postures\, facial expressions\, and gestures\; re
 cent breakthroughs in technology have revealed we also sync up our heart r
 ates\, blood pressure\, brainwaves\, pupil dilation\, and hormonal activit
 y. The result is that emotions\, moods\, attitudes\, and subsequent behavi
 ors can be as infectious as any disease\, and can have just as profound an
  impact on our health and well-being.\n\nInterweaving science\, philosophy
 \, literature\, history\, business management theory\, pop-culture\, and p
 lenty of relatable\, real world examples\, *Why We Click* explains why bei
 ng “in sync\,” “in tune\,” “in step\,” and “on the same wave
 length” are more than just turns of phrase. From the bedroom to the boar
 droom and beyond\, Murphy reveals with characteristic curiosity\, concisio
 n\, and wit how our instinct to sync with others drives much of our behavi
 or and how our deepest desires—to be known\, admired\, loved\, and conne
 cted—are so often thwarted in modern life."\n\nSynopsis from Goodreads.c
