May 21, 2025
7 – 9 p.m. in the Heritage Room
The Babes with Books or BWB (Heritage’s woman’s book club) moves into a McCarthy era, Washington DC boarding house that also houses a secret with their May 21 meeting selection The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. People magazine describes this novel with the comments that, “Quinn evocatively balances the outward cheerfulness of the 1950s with historical observations exploring racism, misogyny, homophobia, and political persecution in this sharply drawn, gripping novel.” Whereas Amazon.com completes their description with “Capturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test.”
The current reading selections for BWB upcoming meetings are as follows:
June 18, 2025 – The Whalebone Theater, by Joanna Quinn
July 16, 2025 – Someone Else’s Shoes, by Jojo Moyes & pool party/potluck
August 20, 2025 – That Summer by Jennifer Weiner & pool party/potluck
September 17, 2025 – We All Live Here, by Jojo Moyes
October 15, 2025 – Real Americans, by Rachel Khong
All BWB meetings run from 7 – 9 p.m. in the Heritage Room, unless otherwise announced.
All women (be they members, or friends) are always invited to any BWB meeting – whether they have read the book or not. Unless otherwise announced, the meeting’s book selection is available on hold for the Heritage Book Club at the Anderson Township branch of the Hamilton County library approximately a month in advance.
