White Pine Book Clubs

Other Worlds Book Club

***on break for the summer. Club will resume in September 2025***

Are you curious about the sci-fi genre but don't know where to start? Then come to our Other Worlds book club with Neil. For avid sci-fi readers and newbies alike, these books are meant to be an on-ramp into Other Worlds. 

All the books are approachable to someone coming in from outside the genre and share themes with traditional fiction, but at the same time are fantastical and escapist.  

Explore themes of environmentalism, what it means to be human, the cost of technological advancement and the possibilities of space exploration.  

Join Neil once a month to discuss these books!

Time: 6:30pm on the last Thursday of the month.

September: The Humans, Matt Haig

October: Frankenstein, Shelley

November: TBD fantasy book chosen by Maryse

December Mistborn, Brandon Sanderson

Gwen and Karen’s Daytime Book Club

Join us for a daytime book club exploring new and captivating novels chosen by two of our most established staff members. In selecting the titles for this collection, Karen and Gwen delved deep into the stories that have profoundly stirred their hearts.

These narratives have not only moved them emotionally, but also prompted a transformative shift in their perception of a particular place or group of people. The characters embodied in these stories are unusual and their lives and the various predicaments they find themselves to be in are ones that are sure to “stick” with you for a long time.

Time: 1:30pm on the last Wednesday of the month.
