As the temperature rises outside, consider keeping cool inside as participants in one of Lone Star College-CyFair’s variety of lively book club discussions.
Seeking a little summer sizzle? Try the Summer Beach Reads Book Club where “Troubles in Paradise” takes readers to the Caribbean (for an island drama of romance, passion, an FBI visit and truths that transform the family) July 13, while “The Worst best Man” is described as fun, flirty and rom-com perfection (with a wedding planner left at the altar and star-crossed couple forced to collaborate) Aug. 3. For information, email Elizabeth.D.Nebeker@LoneStar.edu.
Prefer graphic novels? The CyFair Comics Club is reading “Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1” (a pursuit of the ultimate alchemical treasure, the legendary Philosopher’s Stone) July 6 and “Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven” (a New York best-seller with secrets and a search for answers, acceptance and maybe love) Aug. 2. Meet at 6 p.m. in person in the library, room 215. Email Rachel.Hugenberg@LoneStar.edu or Celeste.Perez@LoneStar.edu for information.
Interested in crime thrillers? The Books Without Borders Book Club continues a summer crime drama series including “Velvet Was the Night” (a story of the search into a secret life of a missing art student in Mexico in the 1970s) July 18 and “10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World” (a moving read of the power of friendship a murdered woman finds in the Streets of Brothels) Aug. 18. Join LSC-CyFair facilitators for a lively discussion at 1 p.m. virtually or in person in the library, room 215. For information, email program coordinator Tracy.Williams@LoneStar.edu.
