SUMMARY:November Living Large Bookclub: Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese
DESCRIPTION:We’re looking forward to chatting about Hester this month! Open to all and treats will be served. Grab Hester at our 10% off book club price! NOTE: See below for downloadable discussion guide! \nNamed a Most Anticipated Book for Fall by Goodreads – Washington Post – New York Post – Buzzfeed – PopSugar – Business Insider – An October Indie Next List Pick – An October LibraryReads Pick \nA hauntingly beautiful–and imagined–origin story to The Scarlet Letter. —People  \nWHO IS THE REAL HESTER PRYNNE? \nIsobel Gamble is a young seamstress carrying generations of secrets when she sets sail from Scotland in the early 1800s with her husband\, Edward. An apothecary who has fallen under the spell of opium\, his pile of debts have forced them to flee Glasgow for a fresh start in the New World. But only days after they’ve arrived in Salem\, Edward abruptly joins a departing ship as a medic–leaving Isobel penniless and alone in a strange country\, forced to make her way by any means possible. \nWhen she meets a young Nathaniel Hawthorne\, the two are instantly drawn to each other: he is a man haunted by his ancestors\, who sent innocent women to the gallows–while she is an unusually gifted needleworker\, troubled by her own strange talents. As the weeks pass and Edward’s safe return grows increasingly unlikely\, Nathaniel and Isobel grow closer and closer. Together\, they are a muse and a dark storyteller; the enchanter and the enchanted. But which is which? \nIn this sensuous and hypnotizing tale\, a young immigrant woman grapples with our country’s complicated past\, and learns that America’s ideas of freedom and liberty often fall short of their promise. Interwoven with Isobel and Nathaniel’s story is a vivid interrogation of who gets to be a real American in the first half of the 19th century\, a depiction of the early days of the Underground Railroad in New England\, and atmospheric interstitials that capture the long history of unusual women being accused of witchcraft. Meticulously researched yet evocatively imagined\, Laurie Lico Albanese’s Hester is a timeless tale of art\, ambition\, and desire that examines the roots of female creative power and the men who try to shut it down. \nCLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW TO DOWNLOAD THE FREE DISCUSSION GUIDE

SUMMARY:"Living Large" Book Club: The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to all\, our Living Large book club is for those great books we ALL should be reading. You’ll love this one! \nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK – “Delightful . . . [a] captivating and slyly subversive fictional paean to the real women whose work on the Oxford English Dictionary went largely unheralded.”–The New York Times Book Review  \n“A marvelous fiction about the power of language to elevate or repress.”–Geraldine Brooks\, New York Times bestselling author of People of the Book \nEsme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious\, she spends her childhood in the Scriptorium\, an Oxford garden shed in which her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Young Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table\, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word bondmaid flutters beneath the table. She rescues the slip and\, learning that the word means “slave girl\,” begins to collect other words that have been discarded or neglected by the dictionary men. \nAs she grows up\, Esme realizes that words and meanings relating to women’s and common folks’ experiences often go unrecorded. And so she begins in earnest to search out words for her own dictionary: the Dictionary of Lost Words. To do so she must leave the sheltered world of the university and venture out to meet the people whose words will fill those pages. \nSet during the height of the women’s suffrage movement and with the Great War looming\, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative\, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. Inspired by actual events\, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this highly original story. The Dictionary of Lost Words is a delightful\, lyrical\, and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words and the power of language to shape the world.

Open to all… \nThat summer would change us . . . forever. \nThe summer of 1960 was the hottest ever for Summit\, Wisconsin.

Determined to uncover long-held secrets\, the girls have no idea that what they discover could cost them their lives and the ones they hold dear. \nSix decades later\, Biz\, now a bestselling novelist\, remembers that long ago summer and how it still haunts her and her lifelong friends in Every Now and Then\, a story about the ties that bind us\, the timelessness of grief and guilt–and the everlasting hope for redemption.

She grew up on the beach\, thrives in humidity\, has weathered more hurricanes than she can count\, and now\, after going viral for an outrageous crime she never meant to commit in the first place\, she has the requisite headline to her name.

Now she’s working at Bloomsbury Books while she plans to remake her own future. \nAs they interact with various literary figures of the time–Daphne Du Maurier\, Ellen Doubleday\, Sonia Blair (widow of George Orwell)\, Samuel Beckett\, Peggy Guggenheim\, and others–these three women with their complex web of relationships\, goals and dreams are all working to plot out a future that is richer and more rewarding than anything society will allow.

SUMMARY:PQ Book Club June: The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare by Kimberly Brock
DESCRIPTION:Join the Pulpwood Queens book club discussion in June when we chat about the new hit from Kimberly Brock\, The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare. \nThe fate of the world is often driven by the curiosity of a girl. \nWhat happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery\, but the women who descended from Eleanor Dare have long known that the truth lies in what she left behind: a message carved onto a large stone and the contents of her treasured commonplace book. Brought from England on Eleanor’s fateful voyage to the New World\, her book was passed down through the fifteen generations of daughters who followed as they came of age. Thirteen-year-old Alice had been next in line to receive it\, but her mother’s tragic death fractured the unbroken legacy and the Dare Stone and the shadowy history recorded in the book faded into memory. Or so Alice hoped. \nIn the waning days of World War II\, Alice is a young widow and a mother herself when she is unexpectedly presented with her birthright: the deed to Evertell\, her abandoned family home and the history she thought forgotten. Determined to sell the property and step into a future free of the past\, Alice returns to Savannah with her own thirteen-year-old daughter\, Penn\, in tow. But when Penn’s curiosity over the lineage she never knew begins to unveil secrets from beneath every stone and bone and shell of the old house and Eleanor’s book is finally found\, Alice is forced to reckon with the sacrifices made for love and the realities of their true inheritance as daughters of Eleanor Dare. \nIn this sweeping tale from award-winning author Kimberly Brock\, the answers to a real-life mystery may be found in the pages of a story that was always waiting to be written. \nPraise for The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare:  \n“From the haunting first line\, The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare transports the reader to a mysterious land\, time and family . . . the captivating women of the Dare legacy must find their true inheritance hiding behind the untold secrets.” —Patti Callahan\, New York Times bestselling author \n\nAbout the Author\n\n\nKimberly Brock is the award-winning author of The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare and The River Witch. She is the founder of Tinderbox Writers Workshop and has served as a guest lecturer for many regional and national writing workshops including at the Pat Conroy Literary Center. She lives near Atlanta with her husband and three children. Visit her online at kimberlybrockbooks.com; Instagram: @kimberlydbrock; Facebook: @kimberlybrockauthor; Twitter: @kimberlydbrock.

SUMMARY:Bestseller Book Club in May Featuring The Rice Birds by Lindy Carter
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting book club evening on the third Tuesday in May when we’ll be chatting about The Rice Birds by Lindy Carter and come back two days later to meet Lindy in person and get your book signed by the author! The club meets live and all are welcome – we’ll bring the treats\, you bring yourselves! The book is available at the 10% off book club discount\, too! \nThird Thursday will feature this very special book signing for The Rice Birds by Lindy Keane Carter\, which NYT bestselling authors are already calling brilliant! \n“Like the hunted rice birds of South Carolina’s Lowcountry\, two desperate women—an Irish indentured servant and an enslaved servant—flee antebellum Charleston in this meticulously researched and beautifully crafted odyssey to freedom. I loved it.” – Mary Alice Monroe\, New York Times bestselling author of 27 books\, including THE BEACH HOUSE series \n“In a poignant story of two runaway women who befriend each other in 1849 Charleston to survive\, The Rice Birds will steal your heart. The starving Irish immigrant and the enslaved house servant battle a common enemy while seeking to find their loved ones snatched from their arms. Lindy Carter’s transportive prose will carry you through this compelling and splendid story.” –Patti Callahan Henry\, New York Times bestselling author \n“Lindy Keane Carter is a captivating writer of historical fiction and a powerful storyteller. The Rice Birds has tension on every page\, truth that shocks and exposes\, and characters we come to love. I am a big fan of Carter’s writing talent\, and her latest novel is a first-class winner!” – Leah Weiss\, bestselling author of If the Creek Don’t Rise and All the Little Hopes \nThe Rice Birds: In 1849\, twin sisters fleeing Ireland’s famine arrive at New York’s seaport. Only Nora is allowed to get on the boat to South Carolina to fulfill her work contract. On her employer’s vast rice plantation\, an enslaved worker— Pearl—befriends her. After one of them commits a crime\, the girls flee to Charleston\, a dangerous place for runaways. Nora frantically seeks to get back to her sister\, while Pearl tries to find her mother before heading north. \nMeanwhile\, an old enemy’s illegal scheme is about to derail the girls’ plans. \nHistorically accurate\, this newly published work from Evening Post Books draws upon interviews with academics\, historians\, and educators\, as well as dissertations\, histories\, Gullah stories\, cookbooks\, and the diaries of Lowcountry rice planters. The Rice Birds takes the reader beyond the well-known narrative about Charleston’s history to reveal real events and lives that have seen little light in contemporary books. Some stories were so compelling\, they needed little embellishment before being woven into this tale. \nLindy Keane Carter is a graduate of the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. After writing non-fiction for 30 years\, she signed up for a fiction-writing class at a community college in Maryland. Her short stories won awards in 2003 and 2009 in the South Carolina Arts Commission’s Fiction Project contest. The Rice Birds is her third published novel. Lindy is the mother of two daughters and a son. Visit her at www.facebook.com/LindyCarterAuthor or www.LindyCarter.com.

SUMMARY:Thriller Book Club in May: Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner
DESCRIPTION:Join our Thrill in the ‘Ville thriller book club at Main Street Reads the second Tuesday in May and enjoy a free book club journal\, food\, drink\, and conversation about the fabulous debut thriller\, Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner. \n“A twisty\, fast-paced” (The Sunday Times\, London) debut thriller\, as electrifying as the #1 New York Times bestseller The Girl on the Train\, about impending motherhood\, unreliable friendship\, and the high price of keeping secrets. \nIn this “gloriously tangled game of cat and mouse that kept the twists coming until the very last moment” (Ruth Ware\, #1 New York Times bestselling author)\, Helen’s idyllic life–handsome architect husband\, gorgeous Victorian house\, and cherished baby on the way–begins to change the day she attends her first prenatal class. \nThere\, she meets Rachel\, an unpredictable single mother-to-be who doesn’t seem very maternal: she smokes\, drinks\, and professes little interest in parenthood. Still\, Helen is drawn to her. Maybe Rachel just needs a friend. And to be honest\, Helen’s a bit lonely herself. At least Rachel is fun to be with. She makes Helen laugh\, invites her confidences\, and distracts her from her fears. \nBut her increasingly erratic behavior is unsettling. And Helen’s not the only one who’s noticed. Her friends and family begin to suspect that her strange new friend may be linked to their shared history in unexpected ways. When Rachel threatens to expose a past crime that could destroy all of their lives\, it becomes clear that there are more than a few secrets laying beneath the broad-leaved trees and warm lamplight of Greenwich Park. \n\nAbout the Author\n\nKatherine Faulkner\, an award-winning journalist\, studied history at Cambridge. She has worked as an investigative reporter and an editor and was formerly the joint Head of News at The Times (London). She lives in London\, where she grew up\, with her husband and two daughters. Greenwich Park is her first novel.

SUMMARY:Thriller Book Club: The Fields by Erin Young
DESCRIPTION:A breakneck procedural that is beautifully written and masterfully crafted\, Erin Young’s The Fields is a dynamite debut–crime fiction at its very finest. \nSome things don’t stay buried. \nIt starts with a body–a young woman found dead in an Iowa cornfield\, on one of the few family farms still managing to compete with the giants of Big Agriculture. \nWhen Sergeant Riley Fisher\, newly promoted to head of investigations for the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Office\, arrives on the scene\, an already horrific crime becomes personal when she discovers the victim was a childhood friend\, connected to a dark past she thought she’d left behind. \nThe investigation grows complicated as more victims are found. Drawn deeper in\, Riley soon discovers implications far beyond her Midwest town. \nJoin us for an engaging discussion – refreshments will be served!

SUMMARY:Living Large Bookclub: The Violin Conspiracy
DESCRIPTION:This month’s Living Large Bookclub will take place on the 4th Tuesday of the month and feature a chat around the new incredible debut novel\, The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb. Grab it from Main Street Reads or our online shop HERE... \nGrowing up Black in rural North Carolina\, Ray McMillian’s life is already mapped out. If he’s lucky\, he’ll get a job at the hospital cafeteria. If he’s extra lucky\, he’ll earn more than minimum wage. But Ray has a gift and a dream–he’s determined to become a world-class professional violinist\, and nothing will stand in his way. Not his mother\, who wants him to stop making such a racket; not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents; not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music. \nWhen he discovers that his great-great-grandfather’s beat-up old fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius\, all his dreams suddenly seem within reach. Together\, Ray and his violin take the world by storm. But on the eve of the renowned and cutthroat Tchaikovsky Competition–the Olympics of classical music–the violin is stolen\, a ransom note for five million dollars left in its place. Ray will have to piece together the clues to recover his treasured Strad … before it’s too late. \nWith the descendants of the man who once enslaved Ray’s great-great-grandfather asserting that the instrument is rightfully theirs\, and with his family staking their own claim\, Ray doesn’t know who he can trust–or whether he will ever see his beloved violin again.

SUMMARY:Living Large Bookclub November: Apples Never Fall
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to be featuring Liane Moriarty’s latest release\, Apples Never Fall\, for our November book club discussion. Moriarty has already thrilled readers with Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers – we can’t wait to chat about the latest from this brilliant author! (More on the book below…) \nOur Living Large bestsellers bookclub is open to all – refreshments served. Join us LIVE or if you prefer by Zoom using the following link: \nTo Join via Zoom:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85213266830?pwd=WW5DYUhmYVhNd3J0b2V3d2pVcGVCUT09 \nMeeting ID: 852 1326 6830\nPasscode: 546536 \nFrom Liane Moriarty\, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers\, comes Apples Never Fall\, a novel that looks at marriage\, siblings\, and how the people we love the most can hurt us the deepest. \nThe Delaney family love one another dearly—it’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . . \nIf your mother was missing\, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father? \nThis is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney siblings. \nThe Delaneys are fixtures in their community. The parents\, Stan and Joy\, are the envy of all of their friends. They’re killers on the tennis court\, and off it their chemistry is palpable. But after fifty years of marriage\, they’ve finally sold their famed tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. So why are Stan and Joy so miserable? \nThe four Delaney children–Amy\, Logan\, Troy\, and Brooke–were tennis stars in their own right\, yet as their father will tell you\, none of them had what it took to go all the way. But that’s okay\, now that they’re all successful grown-ups and there is the wonderful possibility of grandchildren on the horizon. \nOne night a stranger named Savannah knocks on Stan and Joy’s door\, bleeding after a fight with her boyfriend. The Delaneys are more than happy to give her the small kindness she sorely needs. If only that was all she wanted. \nLater\, when Joy goes missing\, and Savannah is nowhere to be found\, the police question the one person who remains: Stan. But for someone who claims to be innocent\, he\, like many spouses\, seems to have a lot to hide. Two of the Delaney children think their father is innocent\, two are not so sure–but as the two sides square off against each other in perhaps their biggest match ever\, all of the Delaneys will start to reexamine their shared family history in a very new light.
