Hunter’s Classics Book Club
Hunter’s Classics Book ClubSecond 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.
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.
