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.

A Remarkable True Story
The BWB meets Wednesday, September 18, 2024, 7 – 9 p.m. in the Heritage Room
The September meeting’s selection for the Heritage Women’s Book Club (aka the Babes with Books or BWB) is Master Slave Husband Wife by Ilyon Wood. According to Amazon.com, this New York Times Bestseller is a “remarkable true story of Ellen and William Craft, who escaped slavery through daring, determination, and disguise, with Ellen passing as a wealthy, disabled White man and William posing as ‘his’ slave.”
The current selections for BWB upcoming meetings are as follows:
October 16 – The Authenticity Project, by Clare Pooley
November 20 – The Power, by Naomi Alderman
December 18 – Holiday Party, no book selection, movie to be determined
January 15, 2025 – The Women. by Kristin Hannah
February 19, 2025 – The Measure, by Nickki Erlick
March 19, 2025 – True Biz, by Sara Novic
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.
