Selection
Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), the world’s largest
retail bookseller, today announced the launch of the new Barnes
& Noble Young Adult (YA) Book Club, a national monthly book
club designed to bring together young adult readers to discuss some
of the most anticipated YA books being published. To kick-off the
book club, Barnes & Noble is announcing three exciting debut
authors for discussion this summer. The free YA Book Clubs will be
held the second Thursday of each month at the Company’s stores
nationwide, led by expert booksellers, and featuring special
in-store promotions and giveaways, while supplies last.
“We’ve gotten strong demand from our customers to host YA Book
Clubs in our stores,” said Stephanie Fryling, Vice President of
Merchandising, Children’s Books. “That’s why we are so excited to
select books every month written specifically for YA readers and
invite fans to meet and discuss these great stories in communities
around the country.”
Barnes & Noble’s first YA Book Club selection is Again, but
Better, by author and social media sensation Christine Riccio. The
Barnes & Noble YA Book Club Edition of the book is available in
stores and on BN.com, and includes a Q&A with Christine Riccio
and an exclusive deleted scene by the author. The YA Book Club
night to discuss the book will be held in stores nationwide on
Thursday, June 13, at 7 PM. Customers can sign up to attend at
BN.com/YABookClub.
Barnes & Noble’s first three selections for the YA Book Club
are:
- June: Again, but Better by
Christine Riccio, Thursday, June 13, at 7 PM. Again, But Better is
a story about second chances, discovering yourself, and being brave
enough to try again.
- July: We Hunt the Flame
by Hafsah Faizal, Thursday, July 11, at 7 PM. Set in a
richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, We Hunt the Flame
is a gripping debut of discovery, conquering fear, and taking
identity into your own hands.
- August: Wilder Girls by Rory Power,
Thursday, August 8, at 7 PM. Wilder Girls is a debut novel about
three best friends living in quarantine at their island boarding
school, and the lengths they go to uncover the truth of their
confinement.
Barnes & Noble will also be offering customers 50% off
select debut young adult authors on the Thursday of YA Book Club
through the following Sunday. Customers who attend the Book Club
discussions can also purchase $2 Teavana tea from stores with
