September’s Book: This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews

What if you woke up inside your favorite unfinished fantasy series — and discovered the world had no intention of playing by the rules? In Ilona Andrews' wildly imaginative new novel, Maggie goes to bed in her Texas apartment and wakes up cold, naked, and starving in the grimy streets of Kair Toren — the medieval city she knows chapter and verse from the dark fantasy series she's been obsessively rereading for a decade. Her encyclopedic knowledge of the plot should be her superpower. Except the story keeps going off-script, the characters she loves can die even if she can't, and knowing how things are *supposed* to end may not be enough to stop them. Part portal fantasy, part political thriller, part slow-burn romance — *This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me* is a love letter to fantasy readers that asks some surprisingly sharp questions: What does it mean to try to save a world you only know from the page? And what happens when the fictional people you love become real? Come ready to talk about Maggie's impossible choices, the meta layers of a reader trapped in her own fandom, and whether knowledge is truly power — or just another way to be surprised.

Fall Flex Season

**How does a TennisSF Season / League run?** The league advertises the season dates and builds a queue of committed players for the season. **Kickoff Day - Sept. 8th** The start day of the season, players are sent a kickoff email that contains important information about the league, the link where your league standings and players contact information. We guarantee 6 playing partners at your playing level, but have been averaging closer to 15+ partners in most cities. The number of different levels we run is solely based upon the number of players enrolled for the league kickoff. Typically we are running a Skilled-3.0, Competitive-3.5 and Advanced-4.0 in most cities. **Your Task - "Flexible Scheduling"** After this kickoff email is sent, it is the **player's task to communicate with other players**. Players should work with their partners to find an agreeable time and location to play the match. While TennisSF.com doesn't mandate your playing schedule, it is recommended that players schedule at least one match per week. By request of the players, we started to allow players to play 1 rematch per season. The regular season is all about playing as much as you can. As of Feb. 9, 2026 we've had an amazing 2,016 players play more than [20 matches in a season](https://www.tennissf.com/info/MatchesInSeason). **Where to Play?** Play at your local free tennis courts, tennis parks, condo courts or tennis clubs. The league strongly suggests that players jointly try to pick a tennis court location convenient to both. We provide an extensive list of [tennis courts](https://www.tennissf.com/TennisCourts), including # of courts, lighting, hitting walls, etc.We strive to keep this list up-to-date. TennisSF.com sets up a must play dates to push players out on the courts. The final deadline is the date marking the end of the season, at which point players with 3-5 wins (Actually total is specified on the division page) will qualify for a post-season playoff to determine the league champion. **How to Play?** Players can use three mostly standard playing formats: 2 out of 3 sets, 2 sets with 10 point super tie-breaker or the 10-game pro set (First to 10, used when court time is limited). On Feb. 2018, we added Fast Tennis 4 game pro set format as a valid format. **Playoffs** Each season concludes with a playoffs where players with anywhere from 3 to 5 season wins qualifies for a single elimination tourney. The champion is awarded based upon the league [Prize Pool](https://www.tennissf.com/info/prize_pool3). Each singles league champion also receives a playing entry into one of two national championships we run. **[JOIN TODAY](https://www.tennissf.com/join)** Full price is $44.95 to play in a season. The earlier you sign up we typically offer discounts during these tough economic times. Just go to the [Join Page](https://www.tennissf.com/join) and complete the short form. We'd be happy to find you dedicated tennis playing partners.
