Open Book Club: Red Glass by Laura Resau
Start: 1:00 pm

This month we will be discussing Red Glass, an award-winning novel by Laura Resau, a Fort Collins author.  This novel is marketed as a teen book, but anyone can relate to its themes of identity, self-confidence, and growth.  Teenage Sophie travels to Mexico to help her foster brother visit his family one last time.  Along the way, she learns to trust herself and to reach out in love.  Resau touches on the plight of illegal immigrants in an empathic way and also gives a fascinating glimpse into Mexican culture.

Three Adventures on a Winter Night
Start: 6:30 pm

Three Adventures on a Winter Night features the opportunity to meet three great authors with three different adventures.  You may enjoy award-winning Carol Berg’s Spirit Lens, the start of her new science fiction series of political and magical intrigue.  Or perhaps you would prefer Soliloquy by Janet Fogg, a World War II time travel story with adventure and romance.  Maybe the story that appeals most is Ashes of the Red Heifer by Shannon Baker, a thriller in which a prophecy may be fulfilled with the fate of the world at stake.  Whatever your taste, you’ll find a book to cozy up to on a long winter’s night.
