Gilmanton Year-Round Book Chat
Thursday, October 26th, 6:00pm - 7:00pm. Join us for our Gilmanton Year-Round Book Chat, a book group that meets monthly to discuss the selected book of the month. Every month each member will take turns selecting the book for the book chat. The Gilmanton Year-Round Book Chat is a friendly, cozy, and open-minded group. There will be refreshments and snacks like cookies and muffins. For the cozy, spooky, month of October we will be reading and discussing "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires" by Grady Hendrix. Stop by the GYRL to pick up a copy. No Sign-up required. "Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families. One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in." |
Community Book Clubs
Gilmanton Gathers Book Group
Tuesday, October 3rd, 6:30pm. Please join the “Gilmanton Gathers” for an in-person Book Club discussion. The Gilmanton Gathers Book Discussion is a group that meets monthly. For July, they will be reading and discussing "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine" by Gail Honeyman, Tuesday, October 3rd at 6:30pm. Pick up your copy at the front desk. No Sign-up required, call or text Laura at 603-493-6067 for more information. "No one’s ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine. Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one." |
