The Saturday book club is reading “The Heiress” by Rachel Hawkins and will be meeting at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 27 to discuss the book.
“When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies, she’s not only North Carolina’s richest woman, she’s also its most notorious. The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family’s estate high in the Blue Ridge mountains. In the aftermath of her death, that estate—along with a ninefigure fortune and the complicated legacy of being a McTavish—pass to her adopted son, Camden.
But to everyone’s surprise, Cam wants little to do with the house or the money—and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes.”
The Crimes and Clues Book Club is reading “My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix. They will discuss it at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 3 “Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since fifth grade, when they bonded over a shared love of E.T., rollerskating parties, and scratchand- sniff stickers. But when they arrive at high school, things change. Gretchen begins to act….different. And as the strange coincidences and bizarre behavior start to pile up, Abby realizes there’s only one possible explanation: Gretchen, her favorite person in the world, has a demon living inside her. And Abby is not about to let anyone or anything come between her and her best friend.
Anyone is welcome to join either book club! Just read the selections and show up at the library to discuss. Snacks are provided.
