Geeky Book Club: Sep. Meeting - The Stone Witch of Florence by Anna Rasche

Geeky Book Club discusses The Stone Witch of Florence by Anna Rasche.

This is a monthly book club for readers who love fantasy and science fiction. The group alternates between genres each month, with book selections chosen by member vote. New members receive voting links after attending their first meeting.

Meetings are structured around in-depth discussion of that month's novel. Guided questions help frame the conversation, and members are encouraged to share their own thoughts and takeaways. The club is designed for readers who want genuine book talk — a space where everyone has actually finished the book and is ready to engage with it.

September's selection, The Stone Witch of Florence, blends fantasy, historical fiction, and mystery. Set in 1348 Florence during the Black Plague, the novel follows Ginevra di Gasparo, a woman with the gift of harnessing the hidden powers of gemstones to heal the sick. After being condemned as a witch and exiled nearly a decade earlier, Ginevra is summoned back to the city by the same leaders who banished her. She expects acceptance at last, but instead is tasked with using her jewels to track down a thief ransacking the city's churches for priceless relics. As her investigation deepens, Ginevra realizes she is caught in a far larger and more dangerous conspiracy.

New and returning members are welcome. Whether you're a lifelong reader, returning to books after a break, or just getting started, the club is happy to have you join.
