Ready for some excellent book chats and even better company?

We are thrilled to share the upcoming Fall/Winter 2026 reading list for the Not Your Mama’s Book Club! We meet the last Wednesday of each month at 5:30pm, and we would love to see you there.

✨ This Month's Book: The Names by Florence Knapp ✨
Can a single name change the course of a life? Set in 1987, this captivating "sliding doors" debut novel follows a mother who hesitates at the registrar’s office while naming her newborn son. The story beautifully splits into three parallel, alternating timelines exploring who her son becomes based on the name she chooses: Gordon, Julian, or Bear. It's a deeply moving look at family, identity, and the powerful "what-ifs" of life. Join us on June 24th at 5:30pm to share your thoughts with fellow readers!
