Description

At Booksweet, we have the joy of connecting daily with so many amazing readers who love science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction. It’s time you all met! Our Other Worlds Book Club is your chance to enjoy a pure escape from the everyday–and a look at contemporary real-life issues through the lens of the otherworldly. Whether you’re new to the genre or we’re reading your old favorites, you belong in this group. There are no gatekeepers here: just awesome humans who love a good story. We'll announce new gatherings monthly (and after the first two gatherings, the group will vote on what to read next!). Come to all Other Worlds book club events or just drop in to the ones that speak to you. For our Friday, November 18 gathering, we'll be discussing the 2022 Hugo award-winning novella A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Rebecca Chambers. This is a cozy sci-fi about a monk who has lost their purpose accidentally making first contact with a robot for the first time since technological beings withdrew from human society hundreds of years before. Together they explore lost terrain, forming a bond that neither of them could expect. A quick and heartwarming read. No purchase is necessary; this is a FREE gathering for teens and adults. Your RSVP is helpful to our planning. Learn more about health and safety at Booksweet. Hope to see you there!
