Book Club Buzz - Turn the Page with Us!
We’re starting the year strong with two can’t-miss book club gatherings — one delightfully heartwarming, the other deliciously suspenseful
Monday, January 26
Barb Day invites us to kick things off with Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt — a charming, laugh-out-loud story filled with friendship, second chances, and a giant Pacific octopus who absolutely steals the show. It’s the perfect feel-good read to warm up our winter evenings.
Then, get ready to switch gears in February…
Monday, February 23
Kay Horst will lead our discussion of The God of the Woods by Liz Moore, a gripping literary thriller set in the Adirondacks. When a teenage girl disappears from a summer camp, long-buried family secrets, class tensions, and power dynamics rise to the surface. Told through multiple perspectives, this haunting story explores love, inheritance, and the possibility of second chances — all wrapped in an unforgettable mystery.
All book club meetings take place at the Bellavista Clubhouse at 5:30 PM.
Mark your calendars, grab your books (or load up your Kindle), and join us for great conversation, great stories, and even better company. Who’s ready to read along?
