October book club – “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue”

When: October 26th – 7 pm – 11:00 pm

Where: Amy’s house (1815 Tilton Drive)

Join us for a discussion of V.E. Schwab’s best selling novel!

Synopsis: “France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever―and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.”

Hostess will provide snacks, but please bring a drink to share! Hope to see you there!

September book club – “Humankind: A Hopeful History

When: September 21st 7 pm – 10 pm

Where: Lindsay’s house ( 109 Warwick Drive)

Kick off the school year with book club! Join us for a discussion of “Humankind: A Hopeful History” by Rutger Bregman.

Synopsis: If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It’s a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we’re taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest. But what if it isn’t true? International bestseller Rutger Bregman provides new perspective on the past 200,000 years of human history, setting out to prove that we are hardwired for kindness, geared toward cooperation rather than competition, and more inclined to trust rather than distrust one another. In fact this instinct has a firm evolutionary basis going back to the beginning of Homo sapiens.

Please bring a snack or a drink to share. Hope to see you there!
