The Not-Too-Snobby Book Club of Bloomington Normal

This month, we have selected Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation by Tiya Miles. This brief nonfiction selection charts the history of women in nature, and the surprising conclusions that can be found when considering the interplay between women and the outdoors.

December is also our annual Book Club Holiday Party! It will be held at a member's home, and we ask that you bring a wrapped used book for a book exchange after our book discussion. Feel free to bring a side dish or drink to share with friends!

We hope to see you all there!

It's January, it's cold, and what better way to ring in the new year than with a cozy winter fantasy based on Russian folktales?

This month, we selected The Bear and Nightingale by Kathryn Arden (2017)! It's a YA fantasy (and the first of a trilogy) that is by all accounts delightful and captures the magic of the winter season.

Join us this month as we discuss the book, our favorite wintery reads, and discuss any reading resolutions we may have set for ourselves (be it 50 books a year, or just a single REALLY good one).

Please bring a recommendation for a future book club!
