What we’re about
Come and join an established book club. We are a group that has been in existence for more than 10 years, looking for some new members to join us.
We read contemporary literature, with a classic and/or non-fiction book to mix things up. We will meet monthly, on the last Wednesday of every month, at the Cherry Hill Wegman's (in the upstairs cafe.)

See all- James by Percival EverettWegmans, Cherry Hill, NJ$4.00
James is a novel by author Percival Everett published in 2024. The novel is a re-imagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain but told from the perspective of Huckleberry's friend on his travels, Jim, who is an escaped slave. The novel won the 2024 Kirkus Prize and the National Book Award for Fiction.
Some of the early scenes of Everett's novel closely follow Huckleberry Finn, but as the two separate and Jim goes off on his own picaresque "adventures", the tone turns more serious as it explores issues of rape, murder, beatings, and racism.
