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.

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.

 

Mystery Book Club

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.

Tuesday, January 26 – The Murders of Great Diddling, Katerina Bivald

Tuesday, February 25 – Puzzle Master, by Danielle Truson

Tuesday, March 25 – First Lie Wins, by Ashley Easton

Tuesday, April 22 – Case Histories: A Novel, by Kate Atkinson

Tuesday, May 27 – Wordhunter, by Stella Sands

(New members are welcome.)

Beaverdale Book Browsers

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

The OG Book Club, started in 2006 and going strong! What began as a group of strangers has been a testament to the power of books to bring people together. Selections are eclectic and discussion is lively. Food and wine are part of the fun as well. New members welcome.   

Thursday, January 9 – The Door-to-Door Bookstore, by Carson Henn
Thursday, February 13 – Remarkably Bright Creatures, by Shelby Van Pelt
Thursday, March 13 – Sweet Bean Paste, by Durian Sukegawa

 

 

Books and Bonbons

Third Thursday of the Month @ 7:00 PM

This smaller, general interest book club keeps its membership low to promote more in-depth and purposeful discussion. Selections encompass a variety of genres.

Check with us to see if the group is at capacity.

Urbandale U.C.C.

Third Monday of the Month @ 4:00 p.m.
January 20 – All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker.  A Jenna book club book, great reviews, 4.5 on Goodreads but 600 pages long, short chapters.
Book clubs receive a 10% discount on their selections.

Also, if you’re already part of a book club you can register with us – just let us know your selection each month. We’ll order copies for your club and you’ll receive the discount as well.
