July Title & Events
Thank you to everyone who went there and back again with us for June’s book club. It was a real treat revisiting a title that held nostalgia for many of us who attended. May your pantrys be untouched by dwarves and that the only unexpected parties that arrive at your house are pleasant ones.
For July we are finally dipping our toes in the mystery genre. We have been going back and forth on titles for awhile now and have settled on…
The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill. This is a contemporary locked room mystery. Picture autumn in Boston and a quiet, cosy reading room in Boston Public Library. A woman’s scream shatters the comfortable silence and four strangers sitting at the same table all become suspects.
We will be meeting the 27th and 28th (Sunday/Monday) of July at 7:00 at the shop. And are very interested to hear what kind of mystery readers we are all. Are you along for the ride? Or are you trying to solve the puzzle before the solution is revealed?
Events
We have two author events in July we wanted to mention here.
Our first is with nature writer, Tom Bowser, on the 17th of July (a Thursday) at 7:00 at the shop.
Tom is a nature writer, journalist and wildlife guide , and he runs the award-winning Argaty Red Kite Project. Tom is joing us this time to speak about his recent release Waters of life: Fighting for Scotland’s Beavers.
In November 2021, in a major moment in Scotland’s history, a family of beavers was spared a death sentence and relocated to a Perthshire farm, Their arrival at Argaty, Tom Bowser’s home, paved the way for a new era in human-beaver relations.
The second event is a with author Lesley McDowell to celebrate the release of her upcoming novel, Love and Other Poisons. The event will take place on 22nd of July (a Tuesday) at 7:00 at the shop.
It is a gripping historical crime novel based on the true story of Madeleine Smith, a young Scottish socialite who was accused of murdering her lover and the fascinating mystery around her sudden disappearance years later.
Lesley will be in conversation with our very own Jasmine chatting all about her new book.
More information on both events and tickets can be found on our website! https://thebooknookstirling.co.uk/events/
