Appetizing Reads is Sharon Forks Library’s new evening book club for adults that will meet at Zoës Kitchen at The Collection of Forsyth. \nShared appetizers will be provided courtesy of Forsyth County Public Library Friends & Advocates. You are not required to purchase additional food or drinks but are welcome to if you so choose. Space is limited\, as we will meet in the private room at Zoës Kitchen\, located in The Collection of Forsyth\, at 410 Peachtree Pkwy #260\, Cumming\, GA 30041. \nWednesday\, October 9 at 7:00 p.m.\nForce of Nature by Jane Harper\nWhen five colleagues are forced to go on a corporate retreat in the wilderness\, they reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking down the muddy path. But one of the women doesn’t come out of the woods. And each of her companions tells a slightly different story about what happened. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing hiker. In an investigation that takes him deep into isolated forest\, Falk discovers secrets lurking in the mountains\, and a tangled web of personal and professional friendship\, suspicion\, and betrayal among the hikers. But did that lead to murder? \nWednesday\, November 13 at 7:00 p.m.\nAn Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green\nIn his much-anticipated debut novel\, Hank Green\, co-creator of Crash Course\, Vlogbrothers\, and SciShow\, spins a sweeping\, cinematic tale about a young woman who becomes an overnight celebrity before realizing she’s part of something bigger\, and stranger\, than anyone could have possibly imagined. The Carls just appeared. Coming home from work at three a.m.\, twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture. Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship–like a ten-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor–April and her friend Andy make a video with it\, which Andy uploads to YouTube. The next day April wakes up to a viral video and a new life. News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world–everywhere from Beijing to Buenos Aires–and April\, as their first documentarian\, finds herself at the center of an intense international media spotlight. Now April has to deal with the pressure on her relationships\, her identity\, and her safety that this new position brings\, all while being on the front lines of the quest to find out not just what the Carls are\, but what they want from us. Compulsively entertaining and powerfully relevant\, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing grapples with big themes\, including how the social internet is changing fame\, rhetoric\, and radicalization; how our culture deals with fear and uncertainty; and how vilification and adoration spring from the same dehumanization that follows a life in the public eye. \nWednesday\, December 11 at 7:00 p.m.\nBorn a Crime by Trevor Noah\nThe compelling\, inspiring\, and comically sublime story of one man’s coming-of-age\, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed\,” – Amazon.com.\nNoah’s path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother\, at the time such a union was punishable by five years in prison. As he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist\, his mother is determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty\, violence\, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life. With an incisive wit and unflinching honesty\, Noah weaves together a moving yet searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time.
