Dog-Eared Books Official Book Club

The Dog-Eared Books “Official” Book Club reads and discusses noteworthy new fiction and nonfiction titles. Join us!

This month we are reading Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby. The Dog-Eared Books Official Book Club will meet at 10 AM on Thursday, April 17th.

Samantha Irby’s career has taken her to new heights. She dodges calls from Hollywood and flop sweats on the red carpet at premieres (well, one premiere). But nothing is ever as it seems online, where she can crop out all the ugly parts.

Irby got a lot of weird emails about Carrie Bradshaw, and not only is there diarrhea to avoid, but now—anaphylactic shock. She is turned away from restaurants for being inappropriately dressed and looks for the best ways to cope, i.e., reveling in the offerings of QVC and adopting a deranged pandemic dog. Quietly Hostile makes light as Irby takes us on another outrageously funny tour of all the gory details that make up the true portrait of a life behind the screenshotted depression memes. Relatable, poignant, and uproarious, once again, Irby is the tonic we all need to get by.

Purchase a copy to read, or grab it from the library, and join us April 17th, for a thoughtful and entertaining discussion about Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby . 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!
