Bucket List Book Club
Bucket List Books is a book club dedicated to the unforgettable reads: the ones that challenge us, move us, and stay with us long after we finish. These are the award-winners, modern classics, and meaningful masterpieces we’ve always meant to read but somehow never quite pick up. Together, we will finally dive into the books that broaden our world and deepen our understanding. We will meet 3 times through winter and and spring, giving us just a little more time to read these meatier books. If you’ve ever thought, “That’s been on my list forever,” this is your place!

Tue, Sep 22 - My Brilliant Friend - Elena Ferrante
Tue, Nov 17 - The Warmth of Other Suns - Isabel Wilkerson
