Join us next week as we welcome Melissa Anderson Sweazy in conversation with Stacey Williams-Ng on Monday, September 28 at 6pm to celebrate the release of her new novel THE SISTERS OF CRIMSON HOUSE.
RSVP here: https://bit.ly/4xRalCk
ABOUT THE BOOK:
For fans of Starling House, The September House, and Practical Magic comes a haunting Southern Gothic horror following one woman from a long line of psychics who will do anything to save her family legacy and the haunted house she grew up in from an entity threatening to destroy everything she's built.
Every house has its secrets.
Charley Bryde is miserable in a house filled with magic. The only woman in a long line of famous psychics to not inherit the family gift, she spends her days inside Crimson House, the coveted family mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, living in the shadows of her talented older sister, Miranda. But when a shocking tragedy scatters the Brydes across the globe, Charley is forced to grow up on her own, and fast. As the money runs dry and Charley's ownership of Crimson House is put at risk, she's left with no other option; turn the manor into a haunted attraction and start representing the family brand with lies, cons, and expertly read tarot cards.
When a skeptic starts targeting Charley for the fraud that she is, she'll stop at nothing to save the family legacy. But the skeptics' arrival cracks something open in Charley that the Brydes wanted to remain buried. Deep. And when Miranda shows up unannounced after eight years away, the two will come to realize that Crimson House, and their own family, hold secrets even the greatest psychics couldn't foresee. Secrets that will threaten to destroy them.

Join us next week at Memphis Listening Lab as we welcome John Brackett on Saturday, September 26 at 2pm to celebrate the release of his new book, TOUCH OF GREY, OR HOW THE GRATEFUL DEAD BECAME POP STARS.
**Note that this event is at Memphis Listening Lab**
RSVP here: https://bit.ly/4gMTxov
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Touch of Grey, or How the Grateful Dead Became Pop Stars draws on extensive archival research to tell the behind-the-scenes story of how one song fundamentally transformed the legacy of one of rock's most iconic groups.
Touch of Grey, or How the Grateful Dead Became Pop Stars tells the story of how one song transformed the popular legacy of one of rock's most iconic musical groups. John Brackett traces the history of the song "Touch of Grey," beginning with songwriter Robert Hunter's lyrical sketches and the Grateful Dead's earliest live arrangements, culminating in the group's popular renaissance following the release of "Touch of Grey" and the album In the Dark in the summer of 1987. Brackett details how particular recording technologies, notable musical characteristics, modes of attending and listening, and the mechanics of the contemporary music industry shaped this defining moment in the group's career. Drawing on extensive archival research, Touch of Grey examines how the band and their label worked to produce a hit record, a dynamic music video, and an effective promotional campaign that would propel the Grateful Dead from a group with a devoted cult following to become a pop culture phenomenon.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
John Brackett is a music historian and researcher. His previous books include John Zorn: Tradition and Transgression (Indiana University Press, 2008) and Live Dead: The Grateful Dead, Live Recordings, and the Ideology of Liveness (Duke University Press, 2023). He lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Purchase your copy at a 10% book club discount in store or online using coupon code BOOKCLUB10. No RSVP or registration required to attend!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In this witty and heartfelt debut, a woman's impulsive journey across the pond after a broken engagement leads her to a new love—and a new version of herself.
Seeking a fresh start after leaving her cheating fiancé, Abby McIntyre makes a series of spontaneous decisions: She quits her job. She books a one-way flight to the UK. She even gets bangs!
Newly arrived in Liverpool, she lands a job with the Mersey Football Club and meets Lachlan Ramsay, the recently recruited Scottish star midfielder. Both lonely in a new city, the pair bond quickly, and Abby finds it nearly impossible to deny their chemistry—despite the nagging guilt she feels about Lachlan’s mysterious wife who didn’t relocate with her husband.
When Abby’s housing falls through, Lachlan insists she move into his massive penthouse. As they spend almost every waking moment together, Abby wonders if it’s possible that the world-famous footballer could be falling for her, too. But with her job and his marriage dependent on them staying firmly in the friend zone, can Abby risk being caught offside?
Crackling with witty banter and palpable sexual tension, Abby Offsides is at once a smoldering, slow-burn romance and a nuanced exploration of one woman’s journey to reclaim her own dreams and desires after years of living life on autopilot.
