Everything this month seemed to be popping up Fitzgerald! We’re so happy to stay on theme with our next book club select, Therese Anne Fowler’s Z – A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald. We’re excited to learn more about the woman behind the man behind Gatsby and maybe even plan a book club field trip to see Baz [...]
Exciting news abounds in Book Club! We just met early this week to discuss our fun and vintage April selection, Rona Jaffe’s The Best of Everything and to announce our giveaway winner.

Our book club here at work is currently reading our ninth book since the start of the club less than a year ago! What’s more, our ranks have swelled to 32 active readers from the initial 12.

Whether you’ve already begun donning warm weather wear or you’re still humming “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” during your morning commute, it’s certainly possible to celebrate springtime indoors with a lovely Easter dessert your family and [...]
If you’re an enthusiastic observer of Saint Patrick’s Day, the holiday will most likely find you with a pint of Guinness in one hand and a plate of corned beef and cabbage in the other. While corned beef is a beloved American tradition, you’d be hard-pressed to find it in Ireland. Lucky for us, Ireland’s [...]

New month, new book! We are knee-deep in March’s book of the month, Ruth Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being. So far 2013 has been a memoir and a collection of short stories, so we’re looking forward to changing the pace with a novel. From the Publisher: “A time being is someone who lives in [...]
