Our Store Book Clubs
Up next for the in-store book clubs: The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters and Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann.All are welcome to join. The book clubs are both "Drop-in, No-Guilt." That means you don't need to sign up (or even buy the book here, although that would be nice). See you soon.
We are fortunate to have two thriving book clubs. The Monthly Book Club tends to read mainstream, literary books. The Saturday Night Book Mixer meets after hours and tends to read literary books that are not necessarily on the beaten path. For a full description of each group, and what they are currently reading, click on the links.
We also offer a 15% discount on books for your book club when you special order 5 or more copies.
Past Selections is a great resources for picking your next book club book.
See you soon!

The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoetby David Mitchell
I became a fan of Mitchell after I read his wildly inventive Cloud Atlas, so I was expecting literary pyrotechnics from his latest. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, the sweeping story of the Dutch East Indies Company in Japan at the turn of the 19th century, reads like a combination of Patrick O'Brien's nautical historical fiction, the exoticism and passion of Shogun, and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" because of a creepy part of the plot. Wow!... read the rest of Tegan's review
The City & the City
by China Mieville
I think good Science Fiction uses an altered reality to reveal something
about the real world that couldn’t be revealed without that altered
setting. Great Science Fiction does this and entertains as well. China
Mieville’s The City and the City is really great Sci-fi. It
begins feeling like a dark, well-written, noir-style mystery – a body
has been found in the city of Beszel, detective Borlu has been assigned
to investigate – but the story quickly takes a sci-fi turn... read the rest of Lillian's review.
