SUMMARY:Aries Spears
DESCRIPTION:Ever since New York native Aries Spears was 14 years old\, he has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene throughout America. His quick wit\, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim\, high accolades\, and above all\, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV\, starring in feature films\, appearing on a number of national talk shows\, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each and every city\, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the “Musts” in the US. \nThis past summer\, Aries guest starred in CNN’s “See It Loud” new summer series on the history of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023\, alongside Amanda Seales\, Da’Vinchi\, Debbie Allen\, Deon Cole\, Desus & Mero\, Gabrielle Union\, Jimmie Walker\, Judge Greg Mathis\, Kevin Frazier\, Loni Love\, Lynn Whitfield\, Mo’Nique\, Naturi Naughton\, Omari Hardwick\, Ray J\, Ruben Studdard\, Sherri Shepherd\, Tatyana Ali\, Tiffany Pollard\, Tisha Campbell\, Vivica A. Fox and many more. \nAs a principal cast member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show Mad TV\, Aries brought a fresh\, hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries’s talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons. \nSome of the many recurring characters that Aries is famous for on the show include: Belma Buttons\, Bill Cosby\, Jesse Jackson\, Mike Tyson\, Walter (Crackheads)\, Reggie (Erascist)\, Dollar Bill Montgomery\, Shaquille O’Neal\, The Klumps\, Michael Jackson\, Sisqo\, Evander Holyfield\, El Diablo Negro and more. Aries also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown\, Al Pacino\, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded sketch “Talkin’ American” was Mad TV’s most popular bit\, keeping fans tuned in and boosting Mad’s ratings impressively on Saturday night. \nAries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17\, after being spotted in a comedy club\, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar’s The Pest followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding\, Jr.’s brother in Columbia’s blockbuster hit\, Jerry Maguire. \nAries’ fierce momentum paved the way from features to tv and his eight seasons on MadTV. Aries continues to spread his comedic wings with the development of feature film projects — in addition to TV — which he is currently involved in writing. He is presently developing a feature project based on an original character that he created on Mad TV\, as well as a thriller about a young black man immersed in hip-hop culture. Additionally\, Aries has made appearances on many talk shows including: Loveline\, Vibe\, Keenen Ivory Wayans\, Soul Train and Late Friday. He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear and Jamal and had a recurring stint on Fox’s The Best Damn Sports Show Period\, where he created some of the show’s funniest characters during his short time there. \nAries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events\, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has\, but he in no way intends on stopping there. Given the extreme growing success rate of action comedies coming out of Hollywood\, it’s safe to say that Aries Spears will be in demand for quite some time.

SUMMARY:Good Girlfriends Book Club: Two Parts Sugar\, One Part Murder
DESCRIPTION:Born from our annual Summer Reading Series\, a group of intelligent and humorous women came together to read Kennedy Ryan’s “Skyland Series.” United by their shared love for books and good company\, the Good Girlfriends Book Club was established. \nJoin the Good Girlfriends Book Club on Saturday\, September 18th at 6pm for a delicous night of food and discussion centered around Caroline’s book pick\, Two Parts Sugar\, One Part Murder: A Delicious and Charming Cozy Mystery by Valerie Burns. \nAbout the book: When Maddy Montgomery’s groom is a no-show to their livestream wedding\, it’s a disaster that no amount of filtering can fix. But a surprise inheritance offers a chance to regroup and rebrand—as long as Maddy is willing to live in her late\, great-aunt Octavia’s house in New Bison\, Michigan\, for a year\, running her bakery and caring for a 250-pound English mastiff named Baby. \nMaddy doesn’t bake\, and her Louboutins aren’t made for walking giant dogs around Lake Michigan\, but the locals are friendly and the scenery is beautiful. With help from her aunt’s loyal friends\, aka the Baker Street Irregulars\, Maddy feels ready to tackle any challenge\, including Octavia’s award-winning cake recipes. That is\, until New Bison’s mayor is fatally stabbed\, and Maddy’s fingerprints are found on the knife . . . \nSomething strange is going on in New Bison. It seems Aunt Octavia had her suspicions\, too. But Maddy’s going to need a whole lot more than a trending hashtag to save her reputation—and her life.

SUMMARY:Kennedy Ryan "Score" Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:We’re keeping the summer sizzle going with a discussion of Kennedy Ryan’s\, Score! Whether you joined us for the listening party or not\, join the Good Girlfriends Book Club on Saturday\, September 19th at 5pm as we come together and discuss Kennedy Ryan’s\, Score! \nIn typical Good Girlfriend style\, we’ll have something to nosh on but feel free to bring your favorite beverage. We’ll be in our new space\, so there’ll be plenty of room for you to bring all of your Kennedy Ryan friends. \nAbout the book: A scorching second-chance romance between a talented screenwriter and a phenomenal musician from the New York Times bestselling author of Before I Let Go. \n“A triumph of art and emotion.” —Talia Hibbert\, New York Times bestselling author \nYou never forget your first love. Isn’t that what they say? Verity Hill knows this truth intimately. She didn’t simply miss Wright “Monk” Bellamy when they parted ways in college. She’s haunted by his touch. Every kiss\, any lover since—it’s a shadow of what they had. \nTime heals all wounds. Isn’t that what they say? Monk doesn’t believe that for a second. He wasn’t simply betrayed when he and Verity split. He was devastated\, with parts of him left behind in the ruins of all that was destroyed. \nMore than a decade after their disastrous breakup\, Verity and Monk must work together on the set of an epic Harlem Renaissance biopic. With Monk\, now a world-class musician\, creating the score\, and Verity\, an award-winning screenwriter\, penning the script\, there’s Oscar buzz before shooting even begins. This once-in-a-lifetime project could catapult them both to new heights\, but can they can put the past behind them for the sake of the film … for the sake of something more? \nHosted by the Kindred Thoughts Bookstore’s Good Girlfriends Book Club!
