Our monthly book club has been such a success, that we decided to introduce a new nonfiction book club!

Meeting every third Wednesday of the month (except this month!), we will be branching out into all areas of nonfiction: biography, memoir, history, essays, true crime and more. The scope is vast, and we here at Book + Bottle always want to explore different topics and to push our readers into uncharted (but approachable) territory.

Our first pick for May will be Nomadland by Jessica Bruder, the book that inspired Chloe Zhao’s Academy Award winning film! In this ‘calmly stated chronicle of devastation” (Louise Erdrich), we accompany the invisible casualties of the Great Recession that have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in late-model RVs, travel trailers, and vans, forming a growing community of ‘nomads’. We meet people from all walks of life as we are taken through the dark underbelly of America’s economically forgotten, and look at the future that may await more of us than we would like to think.

We can’t wait to see you and discuss!
