We’re thrilled to partner with Queen & Rook Game Cafe in Philadelphia to launch a brand-new book club!
Our first discussion at 6 p.m. on March 18 will center on N.K. Jemisin’s award-winning science fiction novel, The Fifth Season, which is a reader favorite at Girls in Capes.
From the publisher:
This is the way the world ends…for the last time.
It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world’s sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester.
This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.
The book club at Queen & Rook will take place at 6 p.m. on one Wednesday each month to discuss an adult or young adult speculative fiction title. To learn more or RSVP, check out Facebook Events or Meetup.
Please visit Head House Books, Queen & Rook’s independent bookstore partner, to pick up your copy of The Fifth Season or its sequels, The Obelisk Gate and The Stone Sky.
