SUMMARY:Romance Book Club - Experiments in Offline Dating by Kat Mackenzie
DESCRIPTION:Let’s discuss this enemies-to-lovers romcom about a podcaster who embarks on a matchmaking tour of Ireland – trapped with a grump who pushes all her buttons. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nMaya Davis is chronically terrible at dating. So much so that she’s turned her catastrophic dating experiments into a full-time job. Hellbent on dating “offline” for her second podcast season\, Maya travels to Ireland to meet the world-renowned local matchmaker\, and gets set up on a slew of horribly funny meet-ups that are exactly the type of comedy gold she was looking for. \nAt the town’s annual Matchmaking Festival\, Maya wins a blind date with a surly local sheep farmer. But while she’s had every bad date in the book\, nothing could have prepared her for the apocalyptic\, full-body-cringe that is the worst date of her life! \nAll she wants to do is forget it ever happened\, but when the mischievous matchmaker talks her into a whirlwind dating adventure\, he fails to mention that it’s with the one person in Ireland that she just can’t stand – her blind date catastrophe! \nTrapped together\, Maya and Tadhg journey across picturesque landscapes and green countryside until their constant verbal sparring feels increasingly like chemistry. And the more time they spend together\, the more Maya begins to wonder if perhaps she’s not so catastrophic at love after all. \nBrimming with humor and delicious tension\, this heartfelt travel romance is the perfect escape!

SUMMARY:Author Tanya Pell - This B Just Won't Die
DESCRIPTION:Tanya will be joining us to discuss her new book This B Just Won’t Die.  The ticket price of $30.81 includes the book for the cover price plus MA State Sales Tax. \nPlease look for updates as we work with more authors to join Tanya for this event. \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS \nThis humorous\, heart-pounding\, feminist slasher follows an aging scream queen as she is pursued by a serial killer impersonating the antagonist of her films. \nFormer scream queen Barbra Jacobs desperately wants to break out of the box Hollywood has neatly packaged her in. Cast as the star of the Mirror horror franchise films twenty years ago\, the breakout role that shaped her career has also destroyed her dreams of being taken seriously as an actress. Now forty\, and still seeking the approval of everyone around her\, she makes ends meet by signing old photos of herself and doing meet and greets at horror conventions. \nSo when a producer calls asking her host The Monsters We Made\, a hot new horror docuseries\, she sees it as a step in the right direction. But when fans begin dying around her—and in ways that mimic the kills in her films—Barb is thrust back into a role she can’t seem to walk away from: The Final Girl. \nWill she ever break out of the display-box-life she’s been imprisoned in\, or will Mirror Man end it all in Barbie’s Scream House?

Queasy\, uneasy\, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter plays with the interplay between religion and historical guilt\, identity and appetite.” —The Washington Post \nA diary\, written in 1912 by a Lutheran pastor is discovered within a wall. What it unveils is a slow massacre\, a chain of events that go back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow. Told in transcribed interviews by a Blackfeet named Good Stab\, who shares the narrative of his peculiar life over a series of confessional visits. This is an American Indian revenge story written by one of the new masters of horror\, Stephen Graham Jones.

SUMMARY:A Court of Splintered Harmony Midnight Release Party
DESCRIPTION:A Court of Splintered Harmony will be here on October 27th at midnight! \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE YOUR TICKET  \nThe long wait is over. Let’s celebrate! Join us for some ACOTAR themed activities\, share predictions with other fans\, and do a little late-night shopping while we count down to the midnight release. \nDoors open at 10:30pm. Attendees will be able to pick up their copies beginning at 12:00am on 10/27 until our 12:30am closing.  We will reopen for normal hours on Tuesday\, October 27.  If you have purchased a ticket and are unable to attend\, we will hold your copy for 30 days. \nSarah J. Maas\, the #1 bestselling author of the Court of Thorns and Roses series\, returns to the courts of Prythian . . . \nWhat was broken will be remade. \nDeep in the heart of the continent\, Koschei the Deathless is stirring. Though he’s been bound to a mountain lake for millennia\, the insidious threat of his return now spreads across the Fae territories\, attracting powerful allies hell-bent on reclaiming what was once theirs: the human lands. \nThe Night Court will not stand idly by while innocents are attacked. But with Prythian still piecing itself together in the wake of the devastating Hybern War\, the task of uniting is proving more difficult by the day. \nTo make matters worse\, those who rule and protect the Night Court are reeling from recent betrayals and revealed truths. The rifts dividing them seem insurmountable. \nBut to defeat Koschei’s creeping shadow\, they must find a way back to each other and resurrect their former alliances. To survive\, they must find a way to repair the splintered harmony all around them. \n

SUMMARY:Cleo White - Royally Forbidden Romance (Book 3): Creation
DESCRIPTION:Even in my most far-fetched daydreams\, I never expected Prince Charming to be an actual prince. \n\n\n\nWe are thrilled to be welcoming Cleo White back to the Purple Couch to celebrate the release of Creation. The ticket price of $20.18 includes the book for the cover price plus MA State Sales Tax. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \nPlease look for updates as we add a conversation partner for Cleo. \nEven in my most far-fetched daydreams\, I never expected Prince Charming to be an actual prince. \nSensible\, pragmatic people with their heads not in the clouds know real princes don’t look twice at poor art students from Pennsylvania who scrub toilets just to afford paint. \nEspecially when the prince in question is also their professor\, who barely looks at anyone once if he can help it and is just trying to do his job without inviting further associations with his famously royal family. \nI may be a dreamer\, a romantic\, and a little on the whimsical side\, but I’m not totally detached from reality. \nMe and Prince Leopold? Never going to happen. \nThat’s what I tell myself\, anyway. \nThe thing I didn’t realize is that even when you stifle a dream\, it never really dies. It’s always there\, an almost-dark ember\, waiting for a little oxygen from a soft-spoken prince to call it back to life\, and no amount of “knowing better” can save you when it does. \nLeopold Ashwell might not think he’s happily ever after material\, but I sure do. \nNote: Ticket holders who purchased a book-included ticket and are unable to attend the event will be able to pick up their book at the shop up to 30 days following the event. This ticket bundle expires 30 days after the event. We cannot guarantee signed copies will be available to ticket holders who do not attend the event.
