Library Book Clubs - OCLS

Do you delight in horror? Commune with like-minded souls at this horror book club. There is no assigned novel for the meeting, just come ready to discuss whatever creepy book you have enjoyed lately.

In May the Hiawassee Book Club will discuss Go As A River by Shelley Read.

1940s: Seventeen-year-old Victoria Nash runs the house on her family's peach farm in Colorado. Wilson Moon is a young drifter, displaced from his tribal land and determined to live as he chooses. Victoria encounters Wilson by chance, a meeting that profoundly alters both of their young lives. When tragedy strikes, Victoria flees into the surrounding mountains. As the seasons change, she finds the strength to move forward and rebuild all that she has lost, even as the Gunnison River threatens to submerge the beloved peach orchard that has been in her family for generations.

In June the Hiawassee Book Club will discuss Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.

In the early 1960s, a female scientist’s career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman's place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show. Elizabeth's singular approach to cooking ('take one pint of H2O and add a pinch of sodium chloride') and independent example as a single, unwed mother, are proving revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't just teaching women how to cook, she's teaching them how to change the status quo.
