Join us for the June meeting of The Bookwyrms Book Club! If you hadn't noticed, we've got an amazing book section, and we love to talk books, so a book club feels like the perfect next move! We'll be meeting every month to discuss interesting books, and there will be coffee and snacks. We've really been blown away by the interest and attendance in our first couple of meetings, and want to clarify some things about how we're doing things.
The goal of The Bookwyrms is to introduce titles we're excited about to new readers, so purchase of the book club selection ticket combo is a requirement to join the discussion. You can buy the special book + ticket combo online and in-store, just mention it at check out!
This month's selection is "THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH" by Andrew Joseph White.
Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all.
London, 1883. The Veil between the living and dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society, and sixteen-year-old trans, autistic Silas Bell would rather rip out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife.
After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with Veil sickness—a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness—and shipped away to Braxton’s Finishing School and Sanitorium. When the ghosts of missing students start begging Silas for help, he decides to reach into Braxton’s innards and expose its guts to the world—so long as the school doesn’t break him first.
Featuring an autistic trans protagonist in a historical setting, Andrew Joseph White’s much-anticipated sophomore novel does not back down from exposing the violence of the patriarchy and the harm inflicted on trans youth who are forced into conformity.
