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 third Thursday of the month while the men will meet on the first 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 June 19th 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 Heartwood by Amity Gaige.
The synopsis:
TIn the heart of the Maine woods, an experienced Appalachian Trail hiker goes missing. She is forty-two-year-old Valerie Gillis, who has vanished 200 miles from her final destination. Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her thoughts into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping.
At the heart of the investigation is Beverly, the determined Maine State Game Warden tasked with finding Valerie, who leads the search on the ground. Meanwhile, Lena, a seventy-six-year-old birdwatcher in a Connecticut retirement community, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Roving between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie’s disappearance may not be accidental.
Heartwood takes you on a gripping journey as a search and rescue team race against time when an experienced hiker mysteriously disappears on the Appalachian Trail in Maine.
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 if you are interested in joining. June's meeting which will be held Tuesday the 3rd at 6pm. This meeting will be hosted by the owner of the store. Greg Owens. The book this month is The Revenant by Michael Punke.
The synopsis:
The year is 1823, and the trappers of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company live a brutal frontier life. Hugh Glass is among the company’s finest men, an experienced frontiersman and an expert tracker. But when a scouting mission puts him face-to-face with a grizzly bear, he is viciously mauled and not expected to survive. Two company men are dispatched to stay behind and tend to Glass before he dies.
When the men abandon him instead, Glass is driven to survive by one desire: revenge. With shocking grit and determination, Glass sets out, crawling at first, across hundreds of miles of uncharted American frontier.
A thrilling tale of betrayal and revenge set against the nineteenth-century American frontier, Michael Punke's The Revenant is the astonishing story of real-life trapper and frontiersman Hugh Glass. Based on a true story, The Revenant is a remarkable tale of obsession, the human will stretched to its limits, and the lengths that one man will go to for retribution.
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.
