A cozy, interactive discussion of This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page with memory-sharing activities.
About this Event

Join us for a thoughtful and interactive book club discussion of This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page. This novel explores how the people in our lives shape us, the memories we carry with us, and the unexpected ways our lives intersect.

Throughout the evening, we’ll dive into the book’s themes through conversation and a few reflective activities. Guests will be invited to participate in our “This Book Made Me Think of You” activity, where you’ll share a book, movie, song, or place that reminds you of someone important in your life, along with the memory behind it. These reflections will become part of a collaborative memory board that everyone can explore throughout the event.

We’ll also have a short reflective "Letter You Never Sent" writing activity and a guided group discussion about the story, characters, and themes - all in a dedicated, private space just for our group.

Whether you're a book club member or attending for the first time, this event is a welcoming space to meet fellow readers, share stories, and enjoy meaningful conversation.

Come ready to reflect, connect, and talk books. 📚
