About this Event
6/28: Different Eras - Historical Fiction Book Club at Booksweet
Join us for a cozy afternoon at Booksweet for our Historical Fiction Book Club on Sunday, June 28! We selected by Saara El-Arifi for our April read. Whether you're a history buff or just starting to explore the genre, this book club is for you! To help transport the club to another time and place, we will also offer tea and refreshments!
Your Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning!
About the book
YOU KNOW MY NAME, BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW ME.
Your historians call me seductress, but I was ever in love's thrall.
Your playwrights speak of witchcraft, but my talents came from the gods themselves.
Your poets sing of my bloodlust, but I was always protecting my children.
How wilfully they refuse to concede that a woman could be powerful, strategic, and divinely blessed to rule.
Death will silence me no longer.
This is not the story of how I died. But how I lived.
So... what's this book club like?
We hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don't mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts!
After a good discussion, the group votes on the next session's read. Feel free to pitch a book you've enjoyed recently or share a new book that you want to read with the group.
While we will have tea, water, and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options), Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don't feel shy about sipping boba while we chat!
We hope to see you there!
