Last chance to join us for NHM's September meeting of Virtual Book Club! Our session discussing Circe by Madeline Miller is

Tomorrow (Thursday, 9/17)

Circe is a beautiful adaptation of greek Mythology that focuses on the sorceress Circe, most known for her role in the Odyssey. With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.

NHM Virtual Book Club is free to join and will be held on the third Thursday of each month at 7pm CDT.

Our book club selections for the remainder of the year will be first announced at tomorrow's book club meeting!
