Calling all readers! The Bixby Book Club meets the second Monday of every month at 7pm. We read a variety of books, spanning the genres of contemporary, literary, and historical fiction, as well as non-fiction, biography, and classics. Didn’t read or finish the book? No worries! This is a no-judgement book club.

This meeting will be held outside the Bixby, socially distanced, and bring-your-own-chair!

Books can be reserved by emailing Laksamee at laksamee.putnam@bixbylibrary.org 

The August read is “The Ten Thousand Doors of January” by Alix E. Harrow

Description from Amazon:

Finalist for the 2020 Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and World Fantasy Awards
 
In the early 1900s, a young woman embarks on a fantastical journey of self-discovery after finding a mysterious book in this captivating and lyrical debut.
In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place.
Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.
Lush and richly imagined, a tale of impossible journeys, unforgettable love, and the enduring power of stories awaits in Alix E. Harrow’s spellbinding debut–step inside and discover its magic.
