SUMMARY:Bi Book Club discusses Ariah by BR Sanders
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Bi Book Club meets on the second Thursday of each month to discuss bi-themed books and the issues they raise. \nDinner after nearby (so far\, we always go to Village Den.) \nOn July 14\, the Bi Book Club will discuss Ariah\, by BR Sanders \nAriah\, by BR Sanders\, won the Speculative Fiction category of the Bisexual Book Awards and explores both bisexuality and polyamory. Ariah’s magical training has been interrupted. Forced to rely on a mentor\, Dirva\, who is not who he claims to be\, and a teacher who is foreign and powerful\, Ariah is drawn into a culture wholly different from the elven one that raised him. As his friendship with Dirva’s brother blossoms into a surprising romance\, and he slowly learns how to control the dangerous magic in his blood\, life finally appears to be coming together for Ariah—but love and security are cut short by a tyrannical military empire bent on expanding its borders. War\, betrayal\, passion\, and confusion follow Ariah as his perilous journey leads him beyond the walls of the Empire\, and into unfamiliar territory within himself. Along the way\, he’ll discover just how much he’s willing to give up to find his place in the world\, and he’ll learn what it means to sacrifice himself for freedom—and for love. \nCome and join the discussion\, even if you haven’t read the book. We take turns reading passages aloud from the book and discuss them-anyone can participate! \nPlease purchase your copy of Ariah from the Bureau! \nNext book: The Life and Death of Sophie Stark. Get your copy from the Bureau. \nSuggested donation of $5 to benefit the Bureau. No one turned away for lack of funds. \nRSVP on meetup.com (not required) \n  \n  \n  \n
