In this book club we will focus on books to expand our minds, learn something new and become better leaders. Whatever your leadership position, this book club will focus on impacting your relationships with others. This book club will meet 4 times a year.   Our June book is "Creating Superfans" by Brittany Hodak.   From the jacket: "What if your customers loved your brand the way Swifties love Taylor or Drake loves the Raptors? What if they came back again and again...and told their friends to do the same?   In Creating Superfans, award-winning entrepreneur and keynote speaker Brittany Hodak shares a powerful framework for transforming your business from a commodity into a category of one.   Brittany has helmed fan-engagement campaigns for brands including Walmart, Disney, Amazon, and dozens of other global brands. Creating Superfans combines sharp business insights with entertaining stories from work with stars like Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, and Mötley Crüe.   Memorable case studies from businesses of all sizes illustrate that customer experience, or CX, is the battlefield for wining - and keeping - customers. Brittany's game-changing CX system, the SUPER Model, is simple to learn, deploy, and measure across every organization.   Whether you're launching a new business or running a hundred-year-old brand, Creating Superfans gives entire team a shared playbook for tapping into the unmatched power of superfandom."   Register Today!

Bank Square Books presents a weekend book signing with John Glynn for his book The Lost Book of Lancelot. About the Book Hidden away on the Isle of Women, a nameless orphan grows up among a powerful sisterhood, but always at a distance. He hears whispers of a prophecy that may shed light on his destiny—and his true identity: Lancelot. Determined to master the skills of knighthood, he begins training in tandem with the handsome Galehaut. As the two become inseparable, they guide one another toward their truest selves. But no matter how tightly they cling to one another, each has a role to play in the wizard Merlin's grand prophecies.   When Lancelot is forced to follow Merlin to Camelot, he fights to protect his heart while seeking the fabled grail alongside King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. But when Roman legionaries encroach on their kingdom, their quest takes on new urgency, as does Lancelot's explosive secret—the truth of what he left behind on the Isle of Women.   Steeped in rich medieval lore, The Lost Book of Lancelot is at once an immersive, a poignant love story and an epic, unforgettable tale of a vulnerable boy who is forced to rise to the occasion amid a battle between the old world and the new. About the Author John Glynn is the Editorial Director of Hanover Square Press, an imprint of HarperCollins. His nonfiction debut Out East: Memoir of a Montauk Summer, was an Indie Next pick, an Oprah, The Magazine "Best LGBTQ Book of 2019," and a Cosmopolitan Best Book of 2019, among other accolades. His writing has appeared in People, Oprah Daily, The Millions and The Daily Beast. He lives in New York City with his partner and dog, Whitman.

Interested in reading books based in CT, or written by authors who have lived in the Nutmeg State? Our Mystic Book Club could be the activity for you! Our June book is "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb.   From the jacket: "Meet Dolores Price. She’s thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she’s determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly up."   Please register online, and then stop into the Mystic Branch to pick up a free copy of the book.
