SUMMARY:Good Girlfriends Book Club: The Reformatory by Tananarive Due
DESCRIPTION:Born from our monthly Summer Reading Series\, a group of smart and funny women came together\, united by their love for books and good company\, and thus the Good Girlfriends Book Club was created. Now we’re inviting you to join the club! \nJoin us on Friday\, April 17th at 6pm as we discuss Shelara’s pick\, The Reformatory by Tananarive Due. \nAbout The Reformatory: \nA gripping\, page-turning “masterpiece” (Joe Hill\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman) set in Jim Crow Florida that follows Robert Stephens Jr. as he’s sent to a segregated reform school that is a chamber of terrors where he sees the horrors of racism and injustice\, for the living\, and the dead. \nGracetown\, Florida. \nJune 1950. \nTwelve-year-old Robbie Stephens Jr. is sentenced to six months at the Gracetown School for Boys\, a reformatory\, for kicking the son of the largest landowner in town in defense of his older sister\, Gloria. So begins Robbie’s journey further into the terrors of the Jim Crow South and the very real horror of the school they call The Reformatory. \nRobbie has a talent for seeing ghosts\, or haints. But what was once a comfort to him after the loss of his mother has become a window to the truth of what happens at the reformatory. Boys forced to work to remediate their so-called crimes have gone missing\, but the haints Robbie sees hint at worse things. Through his friends Redbone and Blue\, Robbie is learning not just the rules\, but how to survive. Meanwhile\, Gloria is rallying every family member and connection in Florida to find a way to get Robbie out before it’s too late. \nThe Reformatory is a “hallucinatory\, haunting\, terrifying\, and moving” (S.A. Cosby\, bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed) work of historical fiction written as only American Book Award–winning author Tananarive Due could\, by piecing together the life of the relative her family never spoke of and bringing his tragedy and those of so many others at the infamous Dozier School for Boys to the light in this riveting novel. \nPurchase the book here.

SUMMARY:Angel Farewell Tour ft. Special Guest Starz
DESCRIPTION:A dazzling mix of glam\, hard rock & progressive rock. An outrageous\, over-the-top arena rock show! \nAngel \nWith Original members PUNKY MEADOWS & FRANK DIMINO along with members Danny Farrow\, Charlie Calv\, Billy Orrico\, and Tommy “T-BONE” Caradonna! Do not miss ANGEL’S Farewell Tour performing all of your favorites\, TOWER\, CAN YOU FEEL IT\, DON’T LEAVE ME LONELY\, ROCK N ROLLERS\, AINT GONNA EAT OUT MY HEART ANYMORE\, and many many others. DRESSED IN WHITE! \nEmploying a dazzling mix of glam rock\, hard rock\, and progressive rock\, Angel’s outrageous\, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage shows\, made them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid-’70s and early ’80s. Discovered by Kiss bass player Gene Simmons\, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975\, which were closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would inform future endeavors like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977)\, White Hot (1978)\, which had a top 40 hit with ” I Ain’t Gonna Eat out My Heart Anymore\,” and Sinful (1979). \nANGEL’S two most recent studio albums Risen and Once Upon a Time both charted on multiple Billboard charts as well landing Number 1 sales for CD and vinyl on Amazon.\nBoth albums opened to rave reviews and were in the top 5 albums of the year by GOLDMINE MAGAZINE featuring songs “Tell Me Why” and “The Torch” in the top 3 songs by GOLDMINE MAGAZINE. \nStarz \nStarz is an American hard rock band that emerged in the mid-1970s\, known for blending melodic pop hooks with arena-ready rock energy. Formed in New Jersey in 1975\, the band was put together by producer Jack Douglas (best known for his work with Aerosmith and John Lennon). The original lineup featured Michael Lee Smith (vocals)\, Richie Ranno (guitar)\, Brendan Harkin (guitar)\, Pieter “Pete” Sweval (bass)\, and Joe X. Dubé (drums). \nStarz quickly built a reputation for their high-energy live performances and polished songwriting. Their self-titled debut album\, Starz (1976)\, introduced their mix of glam-influenced hard rock and catchy choruses. They gained further attention with subsequent releases like Violation (1977) and Attention Shoppers! (1978)\, featuring songs such as “Cherry Baby\,” “Sing It\, Shout It\,” and “Hold On to the Night.” Their sound combined heavy guitar riffs with radio-friendly melodies\, positioning them somewhere between glam rock and mainstream arena rock. \nThough lineup changes and industry shifts slowed their momentum by the early 1980s\, Starz remain remembered as a polished\, underrated force in classic American hard rock.
