Our February 17th Adult Book Club is now full, and registration has been closed.
We still have two more great Adult Book Club meetings coming up before summer, and we hope to see you here!
March 17th Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup From the author of hte international bestseller Slumdog Millionaire comes a richly textured tale of murder, corruption, and redemption. Audaciously and astutely ploted, Six Suspects is the work of a master storyteller.
April 21st The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie Barrows January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she's never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb. As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends, and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is.
