Magness Library has begun a Book Club for adults.

“In-person meetings will be the first Tuesday of each month at 5 p.m.,” said Magness Library assistant director Merissa Chapman. “I’ll announce two books. You pick the one you want to read. After this month, I will try to have the next month’s books announced by the last week of the previous month.”

Example: July’s book choices will be posted the last week in June. That book meeting to be held the first Tuesday in August. 

Providing a five-week notice allows participants to obtain their own book or to borrow one through the library’s inter-library loan program. However, library loans are only available for books that are six months old or older. 

“A Discovery of Witches” by author Deborah Harkness is the first installment in the All Souls trilogy. It is a richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together. The story begins when young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of research.

“The Poet” by author Michael Connelly is an intense and captivating mystery of a reporter’s single-minded pursuit of the serial killer. Denver crime-beat reporter Jack McEvoy specializes in violent death. When his homicide detective brother kills himself, he copes in the only way he knows how – he decides to write the story. He soon determines that a serial killer is a work, at devious murderer who’s killing cops.
