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 Considers a Bit of String
February 19, 2025, 7 – 9 p.m. in the Heritage Room
The Babes with Books (also known as the BWB or Heritage Women’s Book club) has selected the instant NY Times bestseller and Read With Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick The Measure by Nikki Erlick as the February pick for the BWB gathering. According to Jenna Bush Hager, this is a “story of love and hope as interweaving characters display: how all moments, big and small, can measure a life. If you want joy, love, romance, and hope—read with us.” This luminous, spirit-lifting blockbuster asks: would you choose to find out the length of your life?
The current selections for BWB upcoming meetings are as follows:
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.
All women (be they members or friends) are always invited to any BWB meeting – whether they have read the book or not.
