October 2019
October Book Club News

October's new titles include fantastic thrillers: Patricia Cornwell introduces us to her brilliant and unusual  heroine, Captain Calli Chase, in the first book of her new series, and A.J. Banner delivers a novel reminiscent of a classic thriller, set in the Pacific Northwest, that will keep you guessing until the end.

In fiction, you'll find Olivia Hawker's novel inspired by her family's experience on the Wyoming frontier in the late 1800s, Elizabeth Laban's story of marriage and motherhood, and Louisa Treger's portrait of Virginia 'Ginie' Courtauld —an extraordinary woman in an era of great social and cultural change.
October's Book Club Buzz features Adrienne Brodeur's page turning memoir, WILD GAME: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me , named a Best Fall Book by Entertainment Weekly. People, Buzzfeed, NPR On Point, Real Simple, and more . We were riveted to the story! Look for our giveaway, delicious recipes, author notes, and more on October 15.
