Looking for other book lovers like yourself?
A good story is even better when you’re sharing it with friends! Our Club members read a wide variety of novels, fiction, memoirs, and whatever else we decide upon (except no political/religious books). This is a women’s social book club, so we primarily read books that appeal to women as a whole, or feature women as primary or strong supplemental characters (though we don’t limit ourselves)!
A book is a gift you can open again and again.
JUNE 2026 BOOK DISCUSSION
Tell the Wolves I’m Home, by Carol Rifka Brunt
There’s only one person who has ever truly understood fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and that’s her uncle, the renowned painter Finn Weiss. Shy at school and distant from her older sister, June can only be herself in Finn’s company; he is her godfather, confidant, and best friend. So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her mother can barely speak about, June’s world is turned upside down. But Finn’s death brings a surprise acquaintance into June’s life—someone who will help her to heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about Finn, her family, and even her own heart.
At Finn’s funeral, June notices a strange man lingering just beyond the crowd. A few days later, she receives a package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful teapot she recognizes from Finn’s apartment, and a note from Toby, the stranger, asking for an opportunity to meet. As the two begin to spend time together, June realizes she’s not the only one who misses Finn, and if she can bring herself to trust this unexpected friend, he just might be the one she needs the most.
