Sponsored by The Right Kind of Fool from historical fiction author Sarah Loudin Thomas.
When deaf teen Loyal Raines stumbles upon a dead body in the nearby river, his absentee father, Creed, is shocked the boy runs to him first. Pulled into the investigation, Creed discovers that it is the boy’s courage, not his inability to hear, that sets him apart, and he will have to do more than solve a murder if he wants to win his family’s hearts again.
Welcome to In The Club, a newsletter of resources to keep your book group well-met, well-read, and well-fed. It’s the day before Thanksgiving here in the states, so… not sure how many of you are even reading this? There’s a good chance it’s just me, my internationals, and a couple of crickets this week. That’s okay! The club doesn’t close just because a bunch of gobble birds are being carved.
I am however going to keep it kinda chill today with the format. Instead of my usual ramblings, I’m going to hit you all with a quick little gift guide for book clubs. Below you’ll find a roundup of bookish gift suggestions, all priced at $25 or less. Happy gifting, friends! Stay safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
