Our next book club pick: Heart the Lover by Lily King. We’ve been hearing such good things about this gorgeous tearjerker from everyone who’s read it. I devoured the first half in a voyeuristic flurry, then—spooked by where the plot was headed—put it down for a moment to brace myself. Once I gathered my courage, I tore through the rest in one breathless, edge-of-my-seat session. I love Lily King’s writing.
We have plenty of copies at Snowfort, but you don’t have to get it from us to attend 🙂
And we also read a short story for every book club. This time it’s “Friends” by Grace Paley, which you can read at the New Yorker, here. It’s behind a paywall, so if you don’t subscribe, click here for a secret download.
Where, When
We will be meeting at the store at 2pm on February 1. **Note the special date! Normally we meet on the last Sunday of the month, but this time it’s weird!**
You won’t want to miss this one—we will choose the books for the next two months at this meeting, so come with ideas (or hit reply to this email). The next sessions will be March 1 and March 29. (**More weird scheduling, thanks for abiding.**)
