About us
Hi! We are Stacy and Makenzy, two work friends who want to read, eat snacks, drink good cocktails, and meet friends in the Ypsi/Ann Arbor area. This book club is open to women in their 30s and 40s, and meets on the last Tuesday of the month. In addition to book club, we'll try to plan some fun things throughout the month as well. Happy reading, and we can't wait to meet you!

February Book Club: Heart The Lover
York Food & Drink, 1928 Packard Rd, Ann Arbor, MI, USJoin us at the fabulous York for February's book Heart the Lover. They have a full bar, wine, and lots of delicious food options.
About the book: In the fall of her senior year of college, she meets two star students from her 17th-Century Lit class: Sam and Yash. Best friends living off-campus in the elegant house of a professor on sabbatical, the boys invite her into their intoxicating world of academic fervor, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. They nickname her Jordan, and she quickly discovers the pleasures of friendship, love and her own intellectual ambition. Youthful passion is unpredictable though, and she soon finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. As graduation comes and goes, choices made will alter these three lives forever.
Decades later, Jordan is living the life she dreamed of, and the vulnerable days of her youth seem comfortably behind her. But when a surprise visit and unexpected news brings the past crashing into the present, Jordan returns to a world she left behind and is forced to confront the decisions and deceptions of her younger self.
Happy reading!

March Book Club: The Correspondent
Dozer Coffee/Homes Campus Brewery, 112 Jackson Plaza, Ann Arbor, MI, USJoin us at Homes campus brewery - we'll snag a table in the main section.
March's book club pick is The Correspondent
About the book: Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings, around half past ten, Sybil sits down to write letters—to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter.
Sybil expects her world to go on as it always has—a mother, grandmother, wife, divorcee, distinguished lawyer, she has lived a very full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life, she realizes that the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness.
