Fiction Book Club
September's novel is Trespasses, set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. This is the Wednesday afternoon sitting, the quietest of the four the shop runs on this title.
Fiction Book Club
First of three Thursday sittings on Trespasses. One in the early afternoon, one at three, one at seven, all on the same book, so pick the hour that fits.
NonFiction Book Club
October's book is Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling. The nonfiction group meets Thursday from 7:00 to 8:30 among the stacks, in a shop that sells coffee and cookies alongside the books.
