BOOK CLUBS
We currently have two book clubs at the moment and if interest continues to grow, we may eventually add more. Both meetings are held here at our store, Wall Street Books, starting at 6pm. There is food provided at the meetings by the members.
The first book club is for ladies only which meets every second Thursday of the month while the second is for men only and will meet on the second Tuesday of the month.
If you or someone you know are interested in joining, please come into the store and discuss it with an employee who can help you get into our book club app. We use an app so that our members don't have to be in a huge group text.

The Bookworm Brigade—For Ladies
This month's meeting will be Thursday April 10th at 6pm. The ladies from the club will be providing a variety of delicious treats—Lovin' from the Oven— as well as a savory dis or two to eat while we discuss our newest read. This month we are reading "The Midnight Feast" by Lucy Foley.
The synopsis:
Secrets. Lies. Murder. Let the festivities begin...
It’s the opening night of The Manor, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; crystal pouches for guests’ healing have been placed in the Seaside Cottages and Woodland Hutches; the “Manor Mule” cocktail (grapefruit, ginger, vodka, and a dash of CBD oil) is being poured with a heavy hand. Everyone is wearing linen.
But under the burning midsummer sun, darkness stirs. Old friends and enemies circulate among the guests. Just outside the Manor’s immaculately kept grounds, an ancient forest bristles with secrets. And the Sunday morning of opening weekend, the local police are called. Something’s not right with the guests. There’s been a fire. A body’s been discovered.
THE FOUNDER * THE HUSBAND * THE MYSTERY GUEST * THE KITCHEN HELP
It all began with a secret, fifteen years ago. Now the past has crashed the party. And it’ll end in murder at… The Midnight Feast.
We have a limited number of hardback copies in store—we will always provide a physical copy of which ever book we are reading for the month for members to buy—so get your copy ASAP before we run out.

Books & Bros—For Men
The men's book club is brand new and is still growing. There is a sign-up sheet in the store. April will be the second meeting which will be held Tuesday the 8th at 6pm. This meeting will be hosted by the owner of the store. Greg Owens. Greg has chosen "The Bookman's Tale" by Charlie Lovett.
The synopsis:
Nine months after the death of his beloved wife Amanda left him shattered, Peter Byerly, a young antiquarian bookseller, relocates from North Carolina to the English countryside, hoping to outrun his grief and rediscover the joy he once took in collecting and restoring rare books. But upon opening an eighteenth-century study of Shakespeare forgeries, he discovers a Victorian watercolor of a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Amanda.
Peter becomes obsessed with learning the picture’s origins and braves a host of dangers to follow a trail of clues back across the centuries—all the way to Shakespeare’s time and a priceless literary artifact that could prove, once and for all, the truth about the Bard’s real identity.
We have a limited number of paperback copies in store—we will always provide a physical copy of which ever book we are reading for the month for members to buy—so get your copy ASAP before we run out.
