Highlighting a few books coming out this week:
Seattle-based author with a book focused on enjoying and finding beauty in age and the aging process.
Set in the pacfic NW and very atmospheric, this book could be considered historical fiction but also has magical speculative elements — and a slice of horror. Beautifully written!
this is a story of a friendship where one friend seems to effortlessly have it all and one DECIDEDLY does not. So it’s about relationships, friendship, dating… But it’s also about how we measure and try to quantify success.

We meet the last Thursday of every month at 6:30pm at Parlour Wines (although holidays do tend to cause slight date changes, so please double check exact dates below).
