NEXT SATURDAY! Grab your headphones and walkin' shoes! Novel is hittin' the road again for another Walking Club meet up!

This month we will meet at the OVERTON PARK SHELL for a walk at 9AM on Saturday, 6/27 to get some fresh air and a lil' reading done!

RSVP here: https://bit.ly/3Q7vKGL

Free to attend! Set your own pace! If you wanna walk and talk or lock in to your audio book, it's up to you! But worry not! We'll have time to chat and shop after the walk! You'll get a lot of info about the incredible Libro.fm that does so much to help indie bookstores just like Novel!

Libro.fm is an ethical audiobook platform, designed to support independent bookstores rather than big corporations. As an alternative audiobook platform to Audible, Libro.fm still works basically the same (you get audiobooks on your phone) but the biggest difference is that your money directly supports us at Novel, and not Amazon.

Whether you haven't heard of the Walking Club trend or you made it to our last meet up in April, we'd love to have you join us! Please RSVP so we know about how many folks to expect! Looking forward to our stroll!

First 10 attendees to arrive get a FREE book from Libro.fm

****NEXT WEEK!****

Crawlers, it's time for the next stage.

Join us for the next meeting of the Dinniman Book Club on Thursday, 6/25 at 6PM to discuss Book 2: CARL'S DOOMSDAY SCENARIO! This event is free and all are welcome to attend. RSVP here: https://bit.ly/3SN8T3T

You came to your local bookstore, met fellow readers, and had a relaxed discussion on a underpants man's adventures. But now we delve deeper. Book 2 of the DCC series CARL'S DOOMSDAY SCENARIO is on the chopping block this month. Let's talk class and race selection, circus memories, and ominous prophecies related to our favorite feline princess.

All discussion will be on books 1 and 2 of the series. As with any book club: spoilers abound.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose. Carl still has no pants. They call it Dungeon Crawler World. For Carl and Donut, it's anything but a game

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Matt Dinniman is a writer, artist, and musician (well, he's a bass player) from Gig Harbor, WA. He is the author of several books, including the bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

Description

INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION BY PATRICK ROTHFUSS

Experience one of the most enduring classics of the twentieth century and the book that The Atlantic has called “one of the best fantasy novels ever.”

The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone...
..so she ventured out from the safety of the enchanted forest on a quest for others of her kind. Joined along the way by the bumbling magician Schmendrick and the indomitable Molly Grue, the unicorn learns all about the joys and sorrows of life and love before meeting her destiny in the castle of a despondent monarch—and confronting the creature that would drive her kind to extinction....

In The Last Unicorn, renowned and beloved novelist Peter S. Beagle spins a poignant tale of love, loss, and wonder that has resonated with millions of readers around the world.

“Peter S. Beagle illuminates with his own particular magic.”—Ursula K. Le Guin
