The Thursday Night Bookies
Grove City, Ohio
We have a 20-year age range, which gives us different points of view. Our varied life experiences lead to deep and lively discussions. We read an eclectic choice of books, genres, and authors. We started meeting around 14 years ago at the Grove City, Ohio library. Our monthly book club meetings are now held in one another’s homes, with a dinner served beforehand. Over the years, we nine have come to know and enjoy one another and have become good friends. We go to author talks, movies, dinners, high teas, plays, exercise classes, and walks together. Three of us vacation together.
Some of our favorite books from your 2018 list include A Piece Of The World by Kristina Baker Kline (We attended her author talk when she was in Columbus), The Radium Girls by Kate Moore, The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah, and The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict.
Independent bookseller: Gramercy in Bexley, Ohio.
