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: The Honjin Murders by Seishi Yokomizo

This month’s genre: mystery/thriller!

A gorgeous gift edition of Japan's greatest classic murder mystery.

In the winter of 1937, the village of Okamura is abuzz with excitement over the forthcoming Ichiyanagi wedding. But, amid the gossip, there is also a worrying rumour it seems a sinister masked man has been asking questions around the village.

Then, on the night of the wedding, the Ichiyanagi household are woken by a terrible scream, followed by the sound of eerie music. Death has come to Okamura, leaving no trace but a bloody samurai sword, thrust into the pristine snow outside the house.

Soon, amateur detective Kosuke Kindaichi is on the scene to investigate what will become a legendary murder case, but can this scruffy sleuth solve a seemingly impossible crime?
