Attention fellow readers and book lovers!
Are you an avid reader looking to discuss novels by popular and trending authors with other readers? If so, our Bookish Vibes book club is for you! Bookish Vibes meets monthly at 7pm via Zoom and is all about “vibing” with a great read. Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 8th at 7pm, where we will be discussing “The Last Night in London” by Karen White. The best part? Karen White will also be zooming into our discussion!
From the Publisher: London, 1939. In a city on the brink of war, beautiful and ambitious Eva Harlow and her best friend, sweet Southerner Precious Dubose, are young models on the rise – and a duo as close as sisters. But when Eva falls in love with Graham St. John, an aristocrat and former pilot, she finds herself slipping into a web of intrigue, spies, and secrets. Her journey will test the limits of her friendship with Precious – and the mettle of all Britons as the Blitz devastates their world, snatching in an instant all they hold dear. Eighty years later, in 2019, journalist Maddie Warner, whose life has been marked by the tragic loss of her mother, comes to London to interview Precious. Maddie has been careful to close herself off to love, but in Precious she recognizes someone whose grief rivals her own – and whose wisdom may teach Maddie how to navigate her relationship with Colin, Precious’s shy and handsome surrogate nephew. But first Maddie will have to unravel Precious’s many secrets – the unremembered acts of glory, love, and betrayal that have haunted her for more than fifty years.
Copies of the novel will be available for you to borrow from the Patron Services Desk. You can register for our upcoming Bookish Vibes meeting, here. The day before the event an email with information on how to access the Zoom meeting will be sent to you.
We hope to see you at our January meeting!
