Books & Bites: Lunchtime Book Club

April 8, 2026 • 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
This is a FREE event!

Take a break and join us for Books & Bites, a monthly book club at the OWLS Club designed to fit right into your lunch hour! Perfect for members who are still working or anyone looking to enjoy lively discussions, each session will focus on a different book selected by our club host to kick things off. Bring a lunch, bring your thoughts, and connect with fellow members over shared stories and ideas.

June: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi: Theo, an 86-year-old man, is captivated by portraits at a coffeehouse called “The Chalice” and decides to buy them all, giving them back to the subjects and collecting their life stories. 

July: The Second Sister by Marie Boswick : Years of long workdays and little sleep as a political campaigner are about to pay off now that Lucy Toomey’s boss is entering the White House. But when her estranged older sister, Alice, unexpectedly dies, Lucy is drawn back to Nilson’s Bay, her small, close-knit Wisconsin hometown.
