This month, Kassie and the Crime Book Club are discussing "The Black Dahlia" by William Mann. This new release is a discussion on the victimology of Elizabeth Smart. Join us June, 11th at 6pm, to discuss her demise and the investigation.
This month, Tess and the Literary Fiction Book Club is reading Kate Quinn's book, The Astral Library. It is a genre-bending departure into magical realism centering on a destitute young woman who discovers a hidden portal inside the Boston Public Library. This magical sanctuary allows the lost and desperate to literally escape their hardships by choosing to live inside public-domain classics, but the protagonist must quickly team up with the resident Librarian to defend the realm against a bureaucratic Board threatening its existence. Join us on June 16th at 6pm.
This month, Kassie is sharing a Baddie named Stephanie St. Clair. Join us June 19th while we delve into the story of "Madam Queen." Author Mary Kay McBrayer masterfully blends rigorous historical research with narrative speculation to paint a vivid portrait of a brilliant, complicated woman who protected her community, fought police corruption, and defiantly went toe-to-toe with New York’s most notorious mafia syndicates.
