During this timed event you will have a form for each book you meet at each of the tables to guide you through getting to know them and rating them. At the end you will be given a sheet to write down the books you would like to get to know further. Our staff will place those books on hold for you at the frequency you would prefer throughout the summer. We will be hosting this event once a month for the summer and will have different books to meet at each.

This month’s title: “Butcher & Blackbird” by Brynne Weaver
Version 1.0.0
When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, they find something elusive–the friendship of two like-minded, pitch-black souls who just happen to enjoy killing other serial killers. From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, and from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering, one that pits them against the most dangerous monsters in the country. But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind, ready to claim more than just their newfound love. Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves? Or have they finally met their match?
