Welcome to the Book Club with a twist!


Each month, a book is selected based on a theme (space, western, animals, etc.). For the first half we will have a brief book discussion. 

In the second part, participants are encouraged to bring their own selections that match the theme or word. Is the theme 'heroes?' Bring in a book on superheroes, your personal hero, or, perhaps a cookbook on making subs (AKA heroes). The key is to have fun and think outside the box when sharing your favorite books. 

October Theme "Space"  The Selected book is The Martian by Andy Weir
