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 February 12th . 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 A Killer Wedding by Joan O'Leary.
The synopsis:
Christine can’t believe her luck. The iconic Gloria Beaufort, founder of the billion-dollar beauty empire Glo, has personally chosen her to cover her grandson’s wedding for Bespoke, the cult fashion magazine that every A-list bride dreams of being featured in. A career-making scoop and a free trip to a castle turned five-star hotel on the Emerald Isle? It feels too good to be true…Because it is.
Gloria is found dead on the very first morning of the celebratory weekend, and her entire family wants to keep her death a secret and for the wedding to march on. When Gloria’s heirs issue a chilling warning to Christine to keep things quiet, she can’t help but wonder if one of them is guilty. There’s
the son who’s hiding a damaging lawsuit;
-
the resentful daughter-in-law; the grandson who’s had a few too many run-ins with the law;
-
his ambitious wife who’s hiding more than one secret
-
Gloria’s favorite grandchild, the picture-perfect groom.
As Christine navigates a world where glamour masks grimy secrets and everyone she meets is a suspect, she realizes that among this glitzy elite, nothing is as it seems.
Set against the dazzling backdrop of ultimate luxury and an endless reveal of surprises, A Killer Wedding is a fast-paced, humorous mystery the pulls back the curtain on toxic family dynamics hidden beneath the surface of billionaire-level wealth.
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 synopsis:
Betrayal, revenge and a family scandal that bore a 150yearold mystery
When Cooper McQueen wakes up from a night with a beautiful stranger, it's to discover he's been robbed. The only item stolena million-dollar bottle of bourbon. The thief, a mysterious woman named Paris, claims the bottle is rightfully hers. After all, the label itself says it's property of the Maddox family who owned and operated the Red Thread Bourbon distillery since the last days of the Civil War, until the company went out of business for reasons no one knows
No one except Paris.
In the small hours of a Louisville morning, Paris unspools the lurid tale of Tamara Maddox, heiress to the distillery that became an empire. Theirs is a legacy of wealth and power, but also of lies, secrets and sins of omission. Why Paris wants the bottle of Red Thread remains a secret until the truth of her identity is at last revealed, and the century-old vengeance Tamara vowed against her family can finally be completed.
