SUMMARY:Tales Retold Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We will be meeting on the first Tuesday of every month\, to read and discuss original works and spin-offs or retellings based on them. \nOur October pick is a Dracula Retelling. \nLucy Undying by Kiersten White. \nSummary: \nHer name was written in the pages of someone else’s story: Lucy Westenra was one of Dracula’s first victims. \nBut her death was only the beginning. Lucy rose from the grave a vampire\, and has spent her immortal life trying to escape from Dracula’s clutches–and trying to discover who she really is and what she truly wants. \nHer undead life takes an unexpected turn when\, in twenty-first-century London\, she meets another woman who is also yearning to break free from her past. Iris’s family has built a health empire based on a sinister secret\, and they’ll do anything to stay in power. \nLucy has long believed she would never love again. But she finds herself compelled by the charming Iris\, while Iris is mesmerized by the confident and glamorous Lucy. But their intense connection and blossoming love is threatened by forces from without. Iris’s mother won’t let go of her without a fight\, and Lucy’s past still has fangs: Dracula is on the prowl again. \nLucy Westenra has been a tragically murdered teen\, a lonesome adventurer\, and a fearsome hunter\, but happiness always eluded her. Can she find the strength to destroy Dracula once and for all\, or will her heart once again be her undoing?

SUMMARY:Jane Austen Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Jane Austen Book Club is the second Thursday of every month. \nWe will be reading through all of Jane Austen’s works. \nFor October we will be starting Mansfield Park. \nSummary: Taken from the poverty of her parents’ home in Portsmouth\, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park\, acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. During her uncle’s absence in Antigua\, the Crawford’s arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation. Mansfield Park is considered Jane Austen’s first mature work and\, with its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social position and moral integrity\, one of her most profound.
