Page Turners Anonymous

Hello!

Welcome to the twenty-second meeting of the Page Turners Anonymous book club! We are a super laid back book club focusing on unconventional books (Idk what this means but it sure doesn't mean the normal books you would read at any other book club!). For our twenty-second meeting we are going to dive deep into some horror romance! The book is Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno Garcia

Per the members request we are going to dial back on all the sadness of the previous books and dive into some romance! (Though this will still be spooky)

Glamour, decay, and family secrets collide in this mesmerizing, slow-burn psychological horror.

Set in 1950s Mexico, the story follows Noemí Taboada, a chic and fiercely independent socialite. When she receives a frantic, disturbing letter from her newlywed cousin Catalina—claiming her new English husband is poisoning her—Noemí rushes to her rescue.
She arrives at High Place, an isolated, decaying mansion in the mountains, ruled by an eerie, aristocratic family. As Noemí uncovers the family's dark past and the sinister secrets of their wealth, she realizes the house itself is watching her—and escaping its walls might be impossible.

I want to emphasize that this is not a very high-stakes book club. What I mean by that is that I do not expect a doctoral thesis about the themes and symbology of the book. I just want you to focus on your favorite characters, scenes, and how you related to the book. This does not mean you can skate on by not reading the book. You are still expected to both contribute to the discussion and socialize with the other members. I think socialization and making friends with each other is the keystone to a good book club more so than the books.

We are going to meet at trademark brewing. They have an incredible selection of food and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) provided by a huge variety of restaurants! I will reserve a seat for everyone. Please do try to arrive on time as it would make the discussion easier. I
Everyone is welcomed here! All I ask is that you are kind and respectful to others. Again, the foundation to a good book club are its members. So please lets just treat each other like good friends. You may be asked to leave the club if you do not follow these stipulations.

Note: Since this is a new meetup group we are capped at 10 attendees. So please honor your RSVP. A book club cannot thrive without active members. If you are on the waitlist please comment your interest. You are more than likely going to be able to attend the meeting but please again also honor your RSVP.
