Book Club Selections

We LOVE our Book Club customers!!!

 

Here’s how your group can receive 20% off your book club selections:

 

1. Choose a group representative to be the contact person with The Book Nook.

 

2. Have your group representative register your group at the front counter.  We have a very brief form for you to fill out.

 

3. Order your books.  Your selection must be pre-ordered in a bulk order (ordered in one clump, rather than separately) with any of our staff members.  We’ll need to know your groups name, the rep’s name and phone number, title of the chosen book, and the quantity you will need ordered.

 

4. We will call your group representative when your books arrive.  Books will be held on our special order shelf under your groups name.  Members may pick up their copies at their leisure and receive a 20% discount.

 

· The discount applies only to the selected title, not any other purchases.  The discount will apply to almost all titles except those unavailable through our regular distributors.  We will notify you if we have any trouble locating your groups selection.

Reading Lolita in Tehran
By Azar Nafisi
"This memoir about secretly teaching Western literature to a small group of young women in revolutionary Iran is structured around the novels studied; each section reveals both the transformative powers of literature and the tragic consequences of repression. The author's experience of two cultures colliding provides a wealth of ideas for reading groups to explore."

The Secret Life of Bees
By Sue Monk Kidd
"
The Secret Life of Bees is a wonderfully sensuous read. Book groups will be intrigued as relationships are explored in the context of religion, family, and race. I will share this book with all the people I care about."

The Life of Pi
By Yann Martel
"While 16-year-old Pi is emigrating to North America, the ship on which he is a passenger goes down at sea, and he ends up in a lifeboat with a 450-pound Bengal tiger. This is a story of survival, introspection, and adventure, told with insight and humor. There is a lot to talk about in this book, so hold on and enjoy!"

Pope Joan
By Donna Cross
"The Catholic Church denies (and/or has covered up) the existence of Pope Joan, so this book is a work of literary historical fiction. Whether or not you believe her story, you'll be enthralled by Pope Joan. It's all here: war, romance, Vatican intrigue, politics, and a shocking ending. Rich in discussion topics, Pope Joan continues to be a perennial favorite of our book clubs."

The Red Tent
By Anita Diamant
"
The Red Tent offers something for readers of all ages and backgrounds. History, Bible lore, relationships between women, and interactions among family are all presented in a story that explores the strong role women played in ancient times. A powerful and moving book."

Under the Banner of Heaven
By Jon Krakauer
"In addition to the true story of the Mormon brothers who murdered their sister-in-law and her baby in God's name, Krakauer discusses the history of the Mormon Church and its numerous fundamentalist spin-offs. This book will provide ample fodder for discussion, because the book highlights both the good and bad sides of the mainstream Mormon Church."

The Kite Runner
By Khaled Hosseini
"In this very powerful debut novel, Hosseini tells the story of two young men linked by bonds of privilege and servitude in pre-revolutionary Afghanistan, and the unexpected and extraordinary paths of their lives. I recommend this for anyone concerned about the frustrating tragedy of today's Middle East."

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
By Gregory Maguire
"One of our best store book club discussions was on
Wicked. The conversation referenced many other Oz sources and, of course, the Broadway musical in addition to the book. Even the club members who didn't finish the novel were so inspired they went home and completed the book."
