What we’re about
This is an in person book club for those aged 21+ for Northern NJ.
We meet the 2nd Monday of every month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Chili’s in East Rutherford, NJ. You are not required to purchase food or drinks.
There are 12 spots - Please RSVP and cancel if unable to attend as there is a waiting list. Members with 3 RSVPs that result in no shows will be removed.
We read some books that contain graphic content which is why this group is 21+. Sometimes the group will vote on a book to read next other times it will be chosen. It is up to each individual to choose if they wish to read the book for that month. We will probably not be that cozy mystery group but all are fiction.

Back of Jacket:
Outside the island there is nothing: the world was destroyed by a fog that swept the planet, killing anyone it touched.
On the island: it is idyllic. One hundred and twenty-two villagers and three scientists, living in harmony. The villagers are content to fish, farm and feast, to obey their nightly curfew, to do what they're told by the scientists.
Until one of their scientists is found brutally stabbed to death. They learn the murder has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay. If the murder isn't solved within 107 hours, the fog will smother the island―and everyone on it.
But the security system has also wiped everyone's memories of exactly what happened the night before, which means that someone on the island is a murderer―and they don't even know it.
Please RSVP in advance and revise if unable to attend. There is a limit of 12 as well as a waiting list that fills in when RSVP’s are canceled.
We’ll already have a table inside, please ask the restaurant host where we are seated.
Looking forward to seeing you!
