Join us for our December Book Talk Meetup. We will be discussing "The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne" by Ron Currie. This will ALSO be our annual Holiday Party and Gift Swap. Bring a USED book that you loved (either from your collection, a little free library, Books4Cause or one of our local book stores!) and a gift valued around $20 to participate in the swap. If you would like to participate but cannot, the bar provides a couple additional gifts.
Snacks will also be provided, but feel free to bring something to share.
Thanks to my librarian bestie, Meredith, for our December selection!
Description from Goodreads.com:
"Babs Dionne, proud Franco-American, doting grandmother, and vicious crime matriarch, rules her small town of Waterville, Maine, with an iron fist. She controls the flow of drugs into Little Canada with the help of her friends and oldest daughter.
When a drug kingpin discovers his numbers are down in the upper Northeast, he sends a malevolent force, known only as "The Man," to investigate. At the same time, Babs's youngest daughter, Sis, has gone missing, which doesn't seem like a coincidence. In twenty-four hours Sis will be found dead, and the whole town will seek shelter from Babs’s wrath."
Thanks to my librarian bestie, Meredith, for this month's selection!
