About us
The Forever Young Book Club is for individuals who like to read Young Adult and New Adult literature and are a little more "A" than "Y." Monthly books will be a mix of forgotten favorites (out in paperback) and newly-released titles (available in hardcover).
Run by Wendy, we meet each month on every third Thursday at 7 p.m. at Quail Ridge Books. Check out our group discussion guidelines. When purchasing book club titles from Quail Ridge Books, let staff know it's for book club and get a 21% discount.
