Event Description

Come join us for a discussion about works of fiction with pagan themes! Each month we will discuss a different book, and the selections will come from you!

"Together we lifted our feet and stepped into the unknown"—the thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestseller A Discovery of Witches

Deborah Harkness exploded onto the literary scene with her debut novel, A Discovery of Witches, Book One of the magical All Souls Trilogy and an international publishing phenomenon. The novel introduced Diana Bishop, Oxford scholar and reluctant witch, and the handsome geneticist and vampire Matthew Clairmont; together they found themselves at the center of a supernatural battle over an enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782.

Now, picking up from A Discovery of Witches’ cliffhanger ending, Shadow of Night plunges Diana and Matthew into Elizabethan London, a world of spies, subterfuge, and a coterie of Matthew’s old friends, the mysterious School of Night that includes Christopher Marlowe and Walter Raleigh. Here, Diana must locate a witch to tutor her in magic, Matthew is forced to confront a past he thought he had put to rest, and the mystery of Ashmole 782 deepens.

Deborah Harkness has crafted a gripping journey through a world of alchemy, time travel, and magical discoveries, delivering one of the most hotly anticipated novels of the season.

This is a free meetup, and each person is expected to have found the book ahead of time and read it. (Amazon.com sells millions of used books at super cheap prices) Oh, and snacks are also ALWAYS appreciated! Tea will be provided.

We will not be beholden to reading complete series of books. The point is to introduce each other to a variety of pagan authors. (But feel free to finish the series of your own accord)

Comment by Connora on November 20, 2012 at 3:25pm: What's that next book again?

Comment by Connora on November 13, 2012 at 5:41pm: Ditto narrated version of 3 sisters island books.

Comment by Connora on November 13, 2012 at 5:40pm: I can recommend the narrated version of both the 1st and 2nd books. They aren't real cheap, but if you have a membership with Audible.com you can save mucho bucks.

Comment by Bobbi on November 12, 2012 at 2:22pm: I finished the book last weekend. Loved it! There is nothing like escaping into a really good story. Does any one know when the last book is due out? Wish I could be at the group but Ill be in NJ that night. Let me know what next month's book will be.

Comment by Connora on October 31, 2012 at 4:49pm: Hi guys! I've finished the book! If I'm first, well "Neiner, neiner, neiner!" If not, oh well. But I'm bursting to discuss.
