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.

Tuesday, July 8 – Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
Tuesday, Aug. 12 – Winesburg, OH, by Sherwood Anderson
Tuesday, Sept. 9 – Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
Tuesday, Oct. 14 – Carmill, by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Tuesday, Nov. 11 – Castle, by Kafka

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.

Friday, June 27 – (fantasy) The Book that Wouldn’t Burn, by Mark Lawrence
Friday, July 25 – (sci-fi) The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula K Le Guin
Friday, August 29 – (fantasy) Babel, by R.F. Kuang

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.

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.

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.
