The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

 Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns

Books are selected based on availability of copies for the entire group, suitability for discussion, and interest to the group. Each type of genre and literary form is considered in terms of its own excellence and the audience for which it is intended. Suggestions from readers are welcome.

Book discussion is open to everyone interested in sharing their reading experience with others. A long-term commitment is not required.

Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month at 6 pm in the Bottom Shelf Room.


The Pageturners Book Club is now rating the books they read! Click on the book icons below a book cover to see what the club thinks of it.
