Our Rotating Genre Book Club asks you to get out of your comfort zone. Exploring various genres is a great way to see art—and the world—through different perspectives. Things to expect: A different genre every other month, genre-bending work, new and classic authors, and so much more! Together we’ll learn about each genre’s conventions and how certain authors follow and/or disrupt those expectations. Join us to read a novel that’s right in your wheelhouse or explore a genre you’ve never read before! All are welcome.
Schedule
We meet on the last Wednesday of every other month in the store from 6 - 7:30PM (Alternates with New + Noteworthy). 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!
This month discussing: Nights at the Circus by Ciera McElroy
Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter
Sophi Fevvers—the toast of Europe's capitals, courted by the Prince of Wales, painted by Toulouse-Lautrec—is an aerialiste extraordinaire, star of Colonel Kearney's circus. She is also part woman, part swan. Jack Walser, an American journalist, is on a quest to discover Fevvers's true identity: Is she part swan or all fake? Dazzled by his love for Fevvers, and desperate for the scoop of a lifetime, Walser joins the circus on its tour. The journey takes him—and the reader—on an intoxicating trip through turn-of-the-century London, St. Petersburg, and Siberia—a tour so magical that only Angela Carter could have created it.
