SUMMARY:"Mouth" by Kerry Donoghue Book Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the launch of Kerry Donoghue’s provocative debut\, MOUTH\, highlighting the ways we consume—from the drinks we can’t put down to the lovers we can’t resist—revealing deeper hungers we often keep hidden. A competitive eater\, a rodeo clown\, a pearl diver\, and a mermaid-in-training are just a few of the outsiders in this collection of short stories. MOUTH asks: when our appetites define us\, how do we survive the hunger? \nCurrently living in the Bay Area\, her poetry and stories have appeared in journals such as Ninth Letter\, Painted Bride Quarterly\, Permafrost\, The Louisville Review\, and The South Carolina Review.

SUMMARY:Monster Romance Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us. \nMonster romance—romance featuring nonhuman love interests—is having a massive moment. These aren’t your typical brooding vampires—we’re talking about characters who challenge everything we think we know about relationships\, gender\, and what it means to be human. \nIn A Soul to Keep by Opal Reyne\, monster Orpheus demands a human sacrifice every decade in exchange for protecting Reia’s village. When Reia is chosen as the offering\, she expects to meet a terrifying\, inhuman being. And she does. But she also discovers that Orpheus is terribly lonely and just wants companionship. Reia soon grows unexpectedly captivated by Orpheus\, even while yearning for freedom. This unlikely love story offers radical lessons about consent\, vulnerability\, and what it means to love\nacross difference. \nThe event is free. Registration is Required.  \n
