Between the Covers Book Club
Dog-Eared’s “Between the Covers” Book Club is a celebration of all things rom-com led by one of the genre’s greatest fans, DeAnn. With a new pick each month, swooning has never been so much fun.
For One Night Only by Jessica James
This month we are reading For One Night Only by Jessica James! Join the Between the Covers book club on Saturday, February 8th at 6:30 PM for an engaging discussion and a virtual visit from the author.
GLITTER BATS REUNION CONCERT—SOLD OUT!
When two former bandmates—and bedmates—are thrust back into each other’s lives in a fake dating scheme for publicity, they’ll be forced to face the music.
After her recurring role in tabloid headlines, Valerie Quinn’s musical TV show is on the network chopping block. Desperate for good press, she hastily reassembles her wildly beloved pop punk band, Glitter Bats. A reunion concert could be the former lead vocalist’s ticket to a media makeover, especially if it renews public speculation around her iconic situationship with bassist Caleb Sloane.
The only problem? They haven’t spoken in six years.
Caleb had the makings of a rock god, but fallout from the messy Glitter Bats breakup left him broke, anxious, and resentful of the industry. But when Valerie shows up at Caleb’s doorstep with that devastating smile and a plea for help, he reluctantly agrees to put on one last show.
So what if the fandom assumes the two of them are back together too? They’ll play along. You know…for the press.
Making music together not only revives the harmony between them, but also the discord that led to the band’s downfall. With their futures—and the Glitter Bats—in the balance, can they survive a romantic reprise?
Purchase a copy to read, or grab it from the library, and join us at Dog·Eared Books on Saturday, February 8th at 6:30 PM to discuss the book with book club host DeAnn! This book club is free to anyone who wishes to participate, no registration necessary.
Also, for 20 minutes after each club meeting, you will receive 20% off all books and merchandise!
