Knowledge is power. Please join our very own Audrey for Glendora Bookshop’s newest book group: BANNED Book Club, a reading group exclusively for young adults/teens, as we BURN through these books.

BANNED Book Club meets every LAST Wednesday of the month @ 5pm EST. At the meeting, we will talk about why these books are banned and the consequences of censorship.

Sign up for book clubs at Glendora Bookshop by email, call/text, or just stop in and inquire.

This month’s BANNED Book Club selection is The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood - a book banned for it’s themes of feminism and extremism. Be sure to snag your copy at Glendora Bookshop (book club members take 10% off book club reads!) and join us in March to discuss!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (The New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss.

Look for The Testaments, the bestselling, award-winning sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale

In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead’s commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense, The Handmaid’s Tale is a modern classic.
