Welcome to Book + Bottle’s Fiction Book Club! We get together with a diverse group of folks to read great books and talk about them over glasses of wine. We started with an online Facebook group so we could connect before the store opened, and now that the store is open, we’re meeting and talking in person! And it’s just lovely. I love watching members gather and become friends after just one meeting. We have members who have never been in a book club before and members who are in three other book clubs! All are welcome.
Schedule
We meet on the last Thursday of each month in the store from 6 - 7:30PM. We do announcements and intros, grab drinks, and get settled from 6 - 6:30 PM, then discussion runs promptly from 6:30-7:30. The store is open till 9PM so you can continue the conversation with your new friends!
The fiction book club is very popular and gets extremely crowded. Please arrive as early as possible to snag a seat, knowing that we may run out of space in our little shop.
This month discussing: Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton
A finalist for the 2020 Thurber Prize for American Humor!
"The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead" in this big-hearted, boundlessly beautiful romp through the Apocalypse, where a foul-mouthed crow is humanity's only chance to survive Seattle's zombie problem (Karen Joy Fowler, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author).
S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. "those idiots"), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos ®.
But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right. His tried-and-true remedies—from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of Big Jim's loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis—fail to cure Big Jim's debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis, where he suddenly discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. Local wildlife is abuzz with rumors of Seattle's dangerous new predators.
Humanity's extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a cowardly crow whose only knowledge of the world comes from TV.
What could possibly go wrong?
