Register here to step into a sprawling world of celestial magic, political intrigue, and ancient prophecies with New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Roanhorse as we dive deep into her acclaimed Between Earth and Sky trilogy. Black Sun, Fevered Star, and Mirrored Heavens are inspired by the rich and diverse cultures of the pre-Columbian Americas, reshaping modern speculative fiction with unmissable worldbuilding. Black Sun, the first book in the trilogy, introduces us to the holy city of Tova. The winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world. Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio, is a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a villain. Whether you are a longtime fan of the trilogy or searching for your next immersive fantasy read, this is an event you won’t want to miss out on. Register today to go behind the scenes with one of speculative fiction's most exciting voices! About the Author: Rebecca Roanhorse is a New York Times bestselling and Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Award-winning speculative fiction writer. She has published multiple award-winning short stories and novels, including two novels in The Sixth World series, Star Wars: Resistance Reborn, Race to the Sun for the Rick Riordan imprint, and the Hugo Award-winning epic fantasy trilogy Between Earth and Sky. She was the guest editor of America’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy (2023) and a contributor to the New York Times “100 Best Books of the 21st Century.” She has also written for Marvel comics and games, and her TV writing includes FX’s A Murder at the End of the World, and the Marvel series Echo for Disney . She has had her own work optioned by Paramount, Amazon Studios, Netflix, and AMC Studios.

Joins us for the last in the America 250/Colorado 150 Book Club series: The Battle for Christmas: A Cultural History of America's Most Cherished Holiday by Stephen Nissenbaum. The discussion will be led by Telluride Historical Museum's Executive Diretor, Kiernan Landon. You can check out a copy from the libray or purcashe a copy at 10% off from Between the Covers Bookstore. PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST Drawing on a wealth of research, this ”fascinating” book (The New York Times Book Review) charts the invention of our current Yuletide traditions, from St. Nicholas to the Christmas tree and, perhaps most radically, the practice of giving gifts to children. Anyone who laments the excesses of Christmas might consider the Puritans of colonial Massachusetts: they simply outlawed the holiday. The Puritans had their reasons, since Christmas was once an occasion for drunkenness and riot, when poor “wassailers extorted food and drink from the well-to-do. In this intriguing and innovative work of social history, Stephen Nissenbaum rediscovers Christmas’s carnival origins and shows how it was transformed, during the nineteenth century, into a festival of domesticity and consumerism. Bursting with detail, filled with subversive readings of such seasonal classics as “A Visit from St. Nicholas” and A Christmas Carol, The Battle for Christmas captures the glorious strangeness of the past even as it helps us better understand our present.
