Babes with Books is the Heritage Women’s Book Club, and is open to all women of the congregation and female friends.
The books are selected by participants’ suggestion and general consensus. The selected monthly title is reserved for the group at the Anderson Township branch of the Hamilton County Library. Monthly selections are varied but are typically fiction by current authors. Book selections are made three months prior to the meeting and published in the Heirloom newsletter. The December meeting is always a video night.
Babes with Books prides itself on not taking things too seriously. Having read the monthly book selection is never a limitation to participation. Although the book is discussed, it may be only part of what is often a raucous and ribald evening. Disruptive laughter is the hallmark of a BWB meeting. The group revels in being only “somewhat” intellectual, very supportive and very open to newcomers.

The BWB Reads “The Women”
Wednesday, January 15, 2025
7-9 p.m. in the Heritage RoomJoin the Heritage Women’s Book Club (affectionately known as the Babes with Books or the BWB) for their discussion of The Women by Kristin Hannah on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 in the Heritage Room from 7 – 9 p.m. This novel is a story about one woman who served in the Vietnam war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. It is a novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism. The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.
Our current selections for our upcoming meetings are as follows:
February 19, 2025 – The Measure, by Nickki Erlick
March 19, 2025 – True Biz, by Sara Novic
April 16, 2025 – The Lost Book of Bonn, by Brianna Labuskes
May 21, 2025 – The Briar Club, by Kate Quinn
June 18, 2025 – The Whalebone Theater, by Joanna QuinnAll BWB meetings run from 7 – 9 p.m. in the Heritage Room, unless otherwise announced.

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.
