BOOK CLUBS

Hunter’s Classics Book Club

Second Tuesday of the Month @ 7:00 p.m.

 

A little J.D. Salinger, a little Iris Murdoch, maybe some Olga Tokarczuk — some classics you know, some you may or may not be as familiar with. Hunter makes the selections (he can be controlling that way); all you have to do is read the book and show up.

Tuesday, November 12 – Austerlitz, by W. G, Sebald 

There might be beer — classic, of course.

Julie’s Guide to Galaxies and Grimoires

Last Friday of the Month @ 6:30 p.m.
Spaceships, unicorns, and wizards, oh my! There’s a new golden age of genre fiction flooding the shelves and I would love nothing more than to talk about it with other sci-fi/fantasy enthusiasts!
Come join us on the last Friday of each month, at 6:30pm at Beaverdale Books to chat about the pick of the month, debate the merits of lasers versus dragons, and make some nerdy friends.
Selections will run the gamut from new books to classics; hard sci-fi to cozy fantasy- and everything in between. The goal is to lean more sci-fi on odd months, and fantasy on the even months. The first four books are listed below and available at Beaverdale Books with a discount for club members.

No meetings in November/December.

Fourth Tuesday of the Month @ 7:00 p.m.

This group has been together for over 25 years, moving to Beaverdale Books when Borders Books and Music closed in 2011. New members are always welcome; all you need is a love of mysteries and a burning desire to talk about them with a fun group of folks.

Second Thursday of the Month @ 6:30 p.m
