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 ladies book club meets every second Thursday of the month while the men will meet on the first Thursday 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. However, as of right now, our ladies book club is closed to new members.

The Bookworm Brigade—For Ladies
This month's meeting will be Thursday April 9th. The ladies from the club will be providing a variety of delicious treats—Lovin' from the Oven— as well as a savory dish or two to eat while we discuss our newest read. This month we are reading Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy.
The synopsis:
A family on a remote island. A mysterious woman washed ashore. A rising storm on the horizon. Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers, but with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants. Until, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman mysteriously washes ashore.
Isolation has taken its toll on the Salts, but as they nurse the woman, Rowan, back to strength, it begins to feel like she might just be what they need. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting herself, starts imagining a future where she could belong to someone again.
But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, they all must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it’s too late―and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together.
A novel of breathtaking twists, dizzying beauty, and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us disappears.
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.

The men's book club is brand new and is still growing. There is a sign-up sheet in the store if you are interested in joining. April's meeting will be held Thursday the 2nd at 6pm. This meeting will be hosted by the owner of the store. Greg Owens. The book this month is Verity by Colleen Hoover.
The synopsis:
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started.
What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read—page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of the night her family was forever altered. Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents could devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words.
After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue loving her.
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.
