White Pine Book Clubs

Other Worlds Book Club

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: This Is How You Lose the Time War, Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone

October: Circe, Madeline Miller

November: Translation State, Ann Leckie

January: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, Silvia Moreno-Garcia

February: The Years of Rice and Salt, Kim Stanley Robinson

March: The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, Becky Chambers

April: Some Desperate Glory, Emily Tesh

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.
