UPCOMING BOOK DISCUSSIONS
October 23rd (@7 PM on the 3rd floor): We have chosen a thriller for the spookiest month of the year, “Gray After Dark” by Noelle West Ihli. The novel is described as “A merciless wilderness. A harrowing attack. A desperate escape.“

When a tragic accident sidelines Miley’s dreams of Olympic gold, she takes a summer job at a mountain guest lodge. The Frank Church Wilderness is remote but the perfect place to train and recover. Local lore about a staffer who died years ago doesn’t scare her.

But it should.

LAST READ:

In September, we read Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell

320 pages – Drawing on Maggie O’Farrell’s long-term fascination with the little-known story behind Shakespeare’s most enigmatic play, Hamnet is a luminous portrait of a marriage, at its heart the loss of a beloved child.
Warwickshire in the 1580s. Agnes is a woman as feared as she is sought after for her unusual gifts. She settles with her husband in Henley Street, Stratford, and has three children: a daughter, Susanna, and then twins, Hamnet and Judith. The boy, Hamnet, died in 1596, aged eleven. Four years or so later, the husband writes a play called Hamlet.
Award-winning author Maggie O’Farrell’s new novel breathes full-blooded life into the story of a loss usually consigned to literary footnotes, and provides an unforgettable vindication of Agnes, a woman intriguingly absent from history.
