SUMMARY:STAFF CHOICE - Jezebel
DESCRIPTION:Jezebel. We know the word\, but not the woman who wore the name long before it was an epithet. Now\, we’ll learn her story\, told in the style of Madeline Miller’s Circe\, as a triumphant feminist warcry for a queen who deserved more than history gave her. \nAbout the Book \nWith a bold voice reminiscent of Madeline Miller’s Circe\, a stunning reimagining of the story of a fierce princess from Tyre and her infamous legacy \nJezebel was born into the world howling. She intends to leave it the same way. \nWhen Jezebel learns she can’t be a king like her father simply because she’s a girl\, she vows never to become someone’s decorative wife\, nameless and lost to history. At fifteen she’s married off\, despite her protests\, to Prince Ahab of Israel. There\, she does what she must to gain power and remake the dry and distant kingdom in the image of her beloved\, prosperous seaside homeland of Tyre\, beginning by building temples to the gods she grew up worshipping. As her initiatives usher in an era of prosperity for Israel\, her new subjects love her\, and her name rings through the land. \nThen Elijah\, the prophet of Yahweh and her former lover\, begins to speak out against her. Bitter at having been abandoned by Jezebel\, he lashes out\, calling her a slut. Harlot. Witch. And the people\, revering their prophet’s message\, turn on her. \nAs ancient powers and faiths are pitted against each other\, bloodshed descends on Israel and Jezebel faces the fall of her legacy. Determined despite the odds to make Israel a great nation\, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her family\, her throne—her name. A stunning revision of a notorious queen’s story\, Jezebel is a thrilling lyrical debut about a fierce woman who refuses to be forgotten.

SUMMARY:THE ESSENTIALS - The Adventures of Augie March
DESCRIPTION:The Adventures of Augie March\, winner of the National Book Award in 1954\, and hailed as an all-time great by many of the greatest American authors\, is our first book in this series that truly feels obscure. How we haven’t heard of this book\, we’re not sure\, but we’re going to discover this one together! \nAugie March is a Jewish-American boy growing up fatherless and poor in Depression-era Chicago. He seeks a “special destiny\,” although his circumstances seem to position him for a uniquely disappointing life: his family consists of a simple-minded mother\, a brother and “grandmother” who prove to be Machiavellian in their intentions\, and an “idiot” youngest brother\, Georgie.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Literature Book Club - Last Night at the Telegraph Club
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the National Book Award\nA New York Times Bestseller\nA Kirkus Reviews Best Young Adult Book of the Century\nOne of Rolling Stone’s 20 Best Queer Romances of All Time \n“The queer romance we’ve been waiting for.”—Ms. Magazine \nSeventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the feeling took root—that desire to look\, to move closer\, to touch. Whenever it started growing\, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly everything seemed possible. \nBut America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love\, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone\, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.

SUMMARY:Staff Choice Book Club - Regina: The Queens Who Could Have Been
DESCRIPTION:What queens would England have had if firstborn daughters\, not firstborn sons\, had inherited the throne? \nWe may think of princesses as dutiful\, marital conveniences to build alliances\, wearing long flowing dresses\, but the eldest daughters of our kings have been very different. \nPolitical intriguers. Abducted nuns who demanded divorces. Murderers. \nOur princesses have been mothers willing to risk anything for their children\, wives who followed their husbands to the very ends of earth\, and spinsters who demanded their intellectual and societal freedom. \nThis book explores what it meant to be royal\, how sons came to be valued higher than daughters\, and just how England might have looked under a royal matriarchy. The politicians we lost\, the masterminds we see negotiating nunneries not armies\, the personalities shining brilliantly even hundreds of years later: the Queens who should have been. \nLet’s meet them.

SUMMARY:100 Essential Novels Book Club - 2666
DESCRIPTION:Roberto Bolano’s 2666 was published after his death\, and at a whopping 900+ pages\, it’s considered his most important and best work. It’s a heavy read\, with graphic depictions of violence – sexual and otherwise – and a structure that defies categorization. The characters are broadly diverse and riveting\, and the story is deep and destabilizing. We’ll talk about why this book may have been on a 100 Essential Novels list\, and ultimately\, if it should have been. \n  \nWarning: This is a pretty graphic book – if any topics or themes in the book were triggering for you\, please let us know and we will avoid those in our discussion.
