What we’re about
Our group is for anyone who is an avid, a once in a while, new, or wanting to get back to reading person. Many of us would like a little bit (or a lot) of "me" time and get absorbed in a good book. Anyone else do the "when I have time" thing? buy a book that isn't read? read such a fantastic (or horrible book for that matter) and have no one to discuss with? Raise your hand! Ok put them all down now.
There's a plethora of ways (a PLETHORA I tell ya) to access books/audios. Take advantage of your local library (yep they're still around I promise) and ahhhh that book smell!. I'm a member of five libraries. Seriously. (Shhh they don't have to know about each other.) It's surprising how far along you get with audiobooks while driving, folding laundry, cleaning, walking the dog/or yourself, sitting at the DMV with your #73 ticket as #32 is called, or waiting for your partner/kids/grandma to finish sampling everything at Costco.
Our goal is an approachable, relaxed group all can look forward to. I encourage you to book swap as well! We're discovering new genres together too. Plus come on; we're so cool like that reading together. Alrighty then ... what are you waiting for?! Up your grooviness and read. Oprah and I say so.
A few simple rules:
* Please no sensitive subjects outside our book discussion. We all have our personal beliefs; our book club is not the place.Â
* Trash talking, intimidation or sexual harassment will not be not tolerated. PERIOD.
* RESPECT ALWAYS

Life is full of twists and turns you never see coming. But what if you did? - If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate? -
The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed.
Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future - age 103!- and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.
How do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight (the bride and groom, the jittery, possibly famous woman, the giant Hemsworth-esque guy who looks like an off-duty superhero, the frazzled, gorgeous flight attendant) but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.”
Minutes before landing, the older woman suddenly rises from her seat and tells each passenger the age and cause of their death. Ranging from reassuring to unsettling, most are able to dismiss the predictions by “the Death Lady” (as she later becomes known) as the ravings of an unwell woman—until her predictions start coming true.
A few months later, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die, again, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.
If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny? Hooked yet?

From People Magazine with free excerpt. Listen to an audio sample.
Here One Moment introduces readers to an ensemble cast of travelers on an average domestic flight: a joyous newlywed couple still dressed in their wedding finery; an overwhelmed mother with a toddler and infant in tow; a pair of empty-nesters on their way home from a cross-country trip; a frantic father desperate to get back in time for his daughter’s school play; and an unremarkable older woman.
Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn’t exceptionally old or young, rude or polite. She wasn’t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable.
How would you live your life if you thought you knew how it would end? Would you love who you love or try to love someone else? Would you stay married? Would you stop drinking? Would you call up your ex-best friend you haven’t spoken to in years? Would you quit your job?
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.
- Onyx Storm (Empyrean 3) - Rebecca YarrosLink visible for attendees
Friends, get your daggers ready. Starting right here, with this exclusive first excerpt of the series’ third book, Onyx Storm - Empyrean 3.
After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.
Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.
Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves―her dragons, her family, her home, and him.
Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.
They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find―the truth.
But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.
