SUMMARY:Lusty Literature Book Club: "Devour Me" by Emily Rath
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for a book club where the stories are spicy\, the discussions are unhinged\, and every selection comes with a delicious dose of on-page steam? If so\, Lusty Literature may be just the book club you have been seeking!  \nThis is your judgment-free haven where romance lovers can gush\, blush\, and chat freely about all things love\, tension\, and spice. Before you dive into our monthly picks\, don’t forget to peek at those content warnings—some of our picks can be a little dark or include triggers you might choose to stay away from. \nWe will be meeting on the second Friday of the month (unless a different date is provided due to the facilitator or store schedule demands). \nAll adult readers (18+ due to mature themes) with good vibes and open minds are welcome\, whether you have read the book or not. At Four Seasons Books\, book clubs are about community\, not completion. Please be aware that the ability to not “yuck someone’s yum” IS required for attendance as everyone has different preferences\, not every book is for every person\, and we want to show one another kindness and respect.  \nBook clubs are intended to be a safe space for readers to share their thoughts and connect with others\, which is especially true with Romance. In our efforts to be inclusive while balancing emotional comfort\, the group facilitator reserves the right to ask a guest to leave if they are creating an uncomfortable environment or are not participating respectfully.\n​\n*No registration required\, just come by the store for the meeting.* \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event

SUMMARY:Supper Club Book Club: "Dirty Kitchen" by Jill Damatac
DESCRIPTION:Some stories make you hungry.\nSome make you nostalgic.\nSome make you want to pour a drink\, settle in for the evening\, and talk about it with friends. \nCome gather around the table with us for good food\, rich conversation\, and a story that centers food as it’s own character. Whether you come solo or bring a friend\, whether you cook or just show up hungry for conversation\, The Supper Club is meant to feel like pulling up a chair at a table where everyone belongs. \nThe Supper Club is a food-forward club that celebrates books where food is not just background scenery\, but a central character. We’ll read across genres\, from memoir and fiction to essays and unexpected classics\, all tied together by meals\, kitchens\, recipes\, and the emotional weight food carries in our lives. \nEach meeting is part book discussion\, part potluck. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish inspired by the reading.\nThe only requirement is curiosity and a love of good stories. \nWe will be meeting on the third Friday of the month @ 6:30pm (unless a different date is provided due to the facilitator or store schedule demands) in the upstairs community space of the store. \nAll readers are welcome\, whether you have read the book or not.\nAt Four Seasons Books\, book clubs are about community\, not completion. \n*No registration required\, just come by the store for the meeting.* \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event
