SUMMARY:Romantasy Book Club - Cinder House by Freya Marske
DESCRIPTION:Sparks fly and lovers dance in this gorgeous\, yearning Cinderella retelling from bestselling author Freya Marske—a queer Gothic romance perfect for fans of Naomi Novik and T. Kingfisher.\nElla is a haunting.Murdered at sixteen\, her ghost is furiously trapped in her father’s house\, invisible to everyone except her stepmother and stepsisters. \nEven when she discovers how to untether herself from her prison\, there are limits. She cannot be seen or heard by the living people who surround her. Her family must never learn she is able to leave. And at the stroke of every midnight\, she finds herself back on the staircase where she died. \nUntil she forges a wary friendship with a fairy charm-seller\, and makes a bargain for three nights of almost-living freedom. Freedom that means she can finally be seen. Danced with. Touched. \nYou think you know Ella’s story: the ball\, the magical shoes\, the handsome prince. \nYou’re halfway right\, and all-the-way wrong. \nRediscover a classic fairy tale in this debut novella from “the queen of romantic fantasy” (Polygon).

SUMMARY:Queer Book Club - You're a Mean One Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky
DESCRIPTION:Bring a little joy to the world? Not today\, Santa. \nPlease RSVP below so we have enough spaces for everyone. \nMatthew Prince is young\, wealthy\, and notorious for living life like it’s one big party — until a PR disaster lands him in forced holiday exile. Now stuck in a picturesque town that feels like the North Pole’s forgotten outpost\, Matthew is determined to count down the days until his return to the city. But sharing close quarters with Hector Martinez — the grumpy\, gorgeous local who sees right through him — changes everything. As sparks fly and a charity gala spirals toward disaster\, Matthew must decide: will he cling to the person he was\, or risk opening his heart to something real? \nIf you love Red\, White & Royal Blue or Schitt’s Creek\, You’re a Mean One\, Matthew Prince delivers a laugh-out-loud\, heart-squeezing holiday romance filled with snark\, sweetness\, and slow-burn chemistry. This festive LGBTQ+ romcom will charm fans of gay Christmas romance\, small town holiday fiction\, and feel-good love stories. \nMake this holiday season unforgettable with a romance that will make your heart grow three sizes. \nWhile part of a series\, this book stands alone. \nNote: We’re trying something new this month with RSVPs. If you have any trouble with it\, please call us at 978-557-2187 or email us at info@purplecouchbookshop.com.
