New book clubs for the New Year
Susan Weis, owner of Hampden's breathe books, recently sent word that they'll be hosting two new book clubs in the new year!
The first is a teen club, which will meet for the first time on Jan. 10th from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. Hosted by "shopgirl Jenn," the club will meet regularly on the second Sunday of the month to discuss books. And as Andrew Bird would say, there will be snacks!"Each month we'll discuss a new book, exploring everything from fiction to graphic novels to nonfiction, focusing on books that raise interesting and important questions," according Weis' e-mail.
The first book to be discussed will be "The Adoration of Jenna Fox," by Mary Pearson. Members are encouraged to sign up in advance, and club members get 20 percent off of that month's selected book.The event costs $7.
On Jan. 30th, the first Books and Bagels will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Weis herself will host these events on the last Saturday of the month, with bagels and coffee provided by Common Ground. The first book discussion will be on "Ghost," by Alan Lightman. The event costs $9, and again, members get 20 percent off the book club books.
