June 19, 3PM: YA Book Club
Join us for our Young Adult Book Club, where we’ll be reading and discussing American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang—a groundbreaking graphic novel that weaves together themes of identity, culture, and belonging through three powerful storylines.
Whether you’ve read it before or it’s your first time, this is a great chance to connect, share thoughts, and explore what it means to find your place in the world.
June 22, 4PM: Marginalized Voices Book Club
This month, we’re reading Maurice, a bold and quietly radical novel written by E.M. Forster in 1913 but withheld from publication until after his death.
Set in Edwardian England, Maurice follows a young man as he navigates his identity, love, and the deeply repressive norms of his time. It’s a rare, early portrayal of same-gender love with a hopeful ending—a deliberate act of resistance in its era.
Join us as we explore themes of queerness, class, and self-acceptance in a story that continues to speak across generations.
June 26, 7PM: Jane Austen Book Club
Join us for a lively evening as we discuss Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s beloved classic filled with wit, romance, and sharp social insight.
We’ll dive into the world of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy—exploring themes of class, pride, expectations, and what it means to truly know someone.
Whether it’s your first time reading it or your tenth, come ready for thoughtful conversation and good company.
Sundays, 10AM: Silent Reader Book Club
Looking for quiet company while you read? Join us Sunday mornings for Silent Reader Book Club—an hour of peaceful, focused reading in the cozy comfort of the bookstore.
Bring your current book, grab a warm drink, and settle in with fellow readers. No assigned titles, no discussion (unless you want to chat after)—just time set aside to read together, quietly.
Come as you are, and read what you love.
