October: Book Club: Mexican Gothic

Join us in discussions our October book: Mexican Gothic by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia (perfect for spooky season)

About the book: After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place. Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.

We decided to have everyone bring a Boo Basket with small Halloweenn themed gifts (no food items please) to exchange. Also feel free to dress up for spooky season if you would like

We will also start posting people’s “Getting to know you” form when it’s their birthday month but as always- you do not have to participate if you don’t want to or aren’t able.
