Event Details
Note: Because of the Monday closure, the Off-Beat Book Club will now be meeting on the first Tuesday of the month.
OBCeans deserve a book club that's a little bit quirky, just like they are! Join us on the first Tuesday of the month for a lively discussion of books that might not otherwise be on your radar. A limited number of copies of the month's selection will be available for checkout; just ask at the Circulation Desk.
For Native American Heritage Month, we will be discussing Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse, the first book in the author's Sixth World series. From the publisher:
Maggie Hoskie is a Dinétah monster hunter, a supernaturally gifted killer. When a small town needs help finding a missing girl, Maggie is their last best hope. But what Maggie uncovers about the monster is much more terrifying than anything she could imagine.
Maggie reluctantly enlists the aid of Kai Arviso, an unconventional medicine man, and together they travel the rez, unraveling clues from ancient legends, trading favors with tricksters, and battling dark witchcraft in a patchwork world of deteriorating technology.
As Maggie discovers the truth behind the killings, she will have to confront her past if she wants to survive.
Welcome to the Sixth World.
