Upcoming Book Baum dates and selections:
Wednesday, February 26th, 6:45pm-7:45pm
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
led by Abbey Brooks
This first Book Baum requires more reading than usual because we’re starting with the highly anticipated Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros, the third book in The Empyrean Series. We are completely sucked into this story and NEED to discuss it with you! If you love dragons, a healthy dose of shadow daddy, and an action-packed plot, start this series NOW so we can discuss it together at the end of February. If you are buying this selection locally, consider supporting A Novel Romance or Carmichael’s.
Wednesday, March 26th, 6:45pm-7:45pm
Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix
led by Laurie LeCompte
Grady Hendrix has finally decided to write about witches and we are HERE FOR IT. Grady has a way of infusing comedy and irony into horror that we can’t get enough of. If you are buying this selection locally, consider supporting Butcher Cabin Books or Carmichael’s.
Wednesday, April 30th, 6:45pm-7:45pm
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
led by Megh Zahrndt
Sword wielding lesbian necromancers in space? Say less. This book is currently available on Kindle Unlimited and Audible Premium Plus if you happen to have either of those subscriptions. If you are buying this selection locally, consider supporting Carmichael’s.
