Thrills & Chills Book Club

Thrills & Chills is the book club you’ll want to join if you love a bit of spookiness while reading. It’s led by Jordan, a fan of all types of mystery and thriller novels. Explore the mystery/thriller genre with each read in this chilling but super chill book club.

This month we are reading The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. The Thrills & Chills book club will meet at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, June 17th.

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.

As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

Purchase a copy to read, or grab it from the library, and join us for discussion at Dog-Eared Books at 5:30 PM, on Tuesday, June 17th. This book club is free to anyone who wishes to participate, no registration necessary.

Also, for 20 minutes after each club meeting, you will receive 20% off all books and merchandise!
