Science Fiction/Fantasy Bookclub! Monday, July 31 @ 6:30 pm IN PERSON!! Join us to discuss science fiction and fantasy novels. This month, we'll be discussing A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik. From Goodreads: ...set at Scholomance, a school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death (for real) — until one girl, El, begins to unlock its many secrets.
There are no teachers, no holidays, and no friendships, save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any letter grade, for the school won’t allow its students to leave until they graduate…or die! The rules are deceptively simple: Don’t walk the halls alone. And beware of the monsters who lurk everywhere.
Please join us!
