Upcoming events (4+)
See all- NNO Book Club: GodkillerDoc B's, Tampa, FL
It’s always fun to check out a new author and the first book of a fantasy series (even if we are unlikely to read the whole series as a group). This one sounds really fun but it did give me a little pause when I read that this is the author’s debut novel. In our experience, debut novels tend to be very good or very…less than good. Here’s hoping this one is in the first category!
***Book summary from Goodreads***
Kissen’s family were killed by zealots of a fire god. Now, she makes a living killing gods, and enjoys it. That is until she finds a god she cannot kill: Skedi, a god of white lies, has somehow bound himself to a young noble, and they are both on the run from unknown assassins.Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, they must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favour.
Pursued by demons, and in the midst of burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning – something is rotting at the heart of their world, and only they can be the ones to stop it.
***This month's restaurant selection***
We are returning to a tried and true location – Doc B’s (that apparently dropped the “Fresh Kitchen” from their name at some point?). Located in the Bay Street area, Doc B’s has a little something for everyone. You can check out their menu here: https://www.docbsrestaurant.com/menus/tampa/food.***Not sure about book club or never been to one before? ***
Read the book (or some of the book). Come to the Meetup. Eat yummy food and chat with folks about what you thought about the book. REPEAT!***Not sure where to get the book? ***
All books we select have a decent number of copies (at least 3-4 across all formats) at both the Hillsborough and Pinellas County Library. And, of course, you can always buy a copy.***Didn’t finish/hated this book?***
Come to the Meetup anyway! If you didn't finish - just be aware, there will be spoilers. If you hated it, come and rant! In my experience, the books that generate the best conversations and the books we really love are rarely the same books. - Games & Grog (Social Game Night in SoHo)Grove Soho, Tampa, FL
