Light refreshments will be provided. No registration necessary. Please note that this book club takes place after normal library hours. We will be discussing A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas on September 21st from 6-7. Limited copies are available for pickup at the Waterford Public Library during the month of September. \nNesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud\, swift to anger\, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will\, she’s struggled to find a place for herself within the strange\, deadly world she inhabits. Worse\, she can’t seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. \nThe one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian\, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre’s Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta’s orbit. But her temper isn’t the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable\, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. \nMeanwhile\, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance\, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. \nAgainst the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty\, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other’s arms. \n

The sky is clear\, the waters calm\, and the veneered\, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship\, the Aurora\, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first\, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush\, the dinner parties are sparkling\, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on\, frigid winds whip the deck\, gray skies fall\, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for–and so\, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened\, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly\, terribly wrong.

SUMMARY:Golden Leaves Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Golden Leaves Book Club\, run by Shaunty McMillin\, owner of Golden Leaf Books here in Waterford. This is a book club focused on fantasy and romantasy reads. Light refreshments will be provided. No registration necessary. Please note that this book club takes place after normal library hours. We will be discussing The Lies that Summon the Night by Tessonja Odette on December 21st from 6-7. Limited copies are available for pickup at the Waterford Public Library during the month of December. \nLies\, beauty\, and seduction mingle in the first book of an enthralling romantasy series where making art is considered a sin\, and the shadows born from it aren’t the only danger to the creators—from the bestselling author of Curse of the Wolf King . \nFrom the art of liars\, the monsters came… \nEver since art gave life to bloodthirsty shadows\, creative works have been forbidden and the talented creators sacrificed to the Sinless—the immortal royals who feast on human blood in return for their protection. \nInana’s secret storytelling nearly got her killed once\, and she’ll be damned if she’s ever caught again. With a bounty on her head\, she keeps to the city’s dark underbelly where she earns a meager living from thrill-seeking patrons desperate to hear her illicit fiction. Until Dominic\, a Shadowbane\, catches one of her performances. . . \nDominic is a half-Sinless monster hunter as fearsome as his prey. But to complete his hunt\, he needs an artist to summon the shadows . . . he needs Inana. Dominic delivers an ultimatum: serve him or he’ll claim her bounty. When survival is all Inana has left\, the choice is clear. At least until she can betray him and leave him for dead. \nAs their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger\, dark secrets unravel—about each other\, their world\, and the threats they face. But the greatest risk of all is the desire growing between them. There’s something more sinful than lust at play\, and it could bring the world to its knees. \n

SUMMARY:Waterford Readers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join the library for a monthly book club! We will primarily be reading mysteries and thrillers but other genres may be included from time to time. Our pick for December 22nd is Everyone This Christmas has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson. Copies are available at the check-out desk for pickup during the month of December. No registration is required. Please note that this book club takes place after the library is closed. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes prior to the start of book club if you wish to check out items or peruse our collection. \nMy name’s Ernest Cunningham. I used to be a fan of reading Golden Age murder mysteries\, until I found myself with a haphazard career getting stuck in the middle of real-life ones. I’d hoped\, this Christmas\, that any self-respecting murderer would kick their feet up and take it easy over the holidays. I was wrong. So here I am\, backstage at the show of world-famous magician Rylan Blaze\, whose benefactor has just been murdered. My suspects are all professional tricksters: masters of the art of misdirection. \nTHE MAGICIAN \nTHE ASSISTANT \nTHE EXECUTIVE \nTHE HYPNOTIST \nTHE IDENTICAL TWIN \nTHE COUNSELLOR \n THE TECH \nMy clues are even more abstract: A suspect covered in blood\, without a memory of how it got there. A murder committed without setting foot inside the room where it happens. And an advent calendar. Because\, you know\, it’s Christmas. If I can see through the illusions\, I know I can solve it. After all\, a good murder is just like a magic trick\, isn’t it? \n
