Thank you to everyone who joined us for History Book Club last night! We discussed Death in the Air by Kate Winkler Dawson, a fascinating blend of true crime and history that explores London’s Great Smog of 1952, a serial murder investigation, and the public health crisis that connected them.

We also voted on our next reads! July 6th, we’ll dive into The Trial of Lizzie Borden by Cara Robertson, an engrossing look at one of America’s most famous murder cases. August 3rd, we’ll discuss Blitzed by Norman Ohler, which examines the role drugs played in the rise and operation of N**i Germany.

As a reminder, History Book Club meets the first Monday of every month at 7 PM.

Our New Fiction Book Club had so much to say about May’s book, The Fountain by Casey Scieszka! We can’t wait to do it all again on June 23 at 7 PM when we discuss Celestial Lights by Cecile Pin. Out of the three options offered, the group voted for July’s book, which will be The Burning Side by Sarah Damoff! This book explores how pain and joy intertwine to create the human experience.

As a reminder, we meet the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7 PM.

Our staff will be catching up on some reading tomorrow. What are you reading this Memorial Day weekend? 📚💗

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for Jane Austen Book Club and our discussion of Fallen Into Austen by Amy Foster Myer! We loved spending the evening talking all things Austen, adaptations, and modern takes inspired by her world. Next month, on June 21 at 4:30 PM, we’ll be discussing Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix by Gabe Cole Novoa. This is a q***r reimagining of Austen’s classic that follows a trans boy navigating love, identity, and societal expectations. We hope to see you there!

So remember the other day when I posted the May and June book club calendars? Clearly I was just too excited for my own good, because basically all of the dates on the June calendar were wrong. Let’s try that again! 🙃

Another thing you’ll notice is that the History book club has decided to go to EVERY month, so they WILL meet again in June! Hooray!
