Books & Beers! Literature & Libations! Alcohol & Alliterations! We are here to provide it all with Teddy’s Book Club, meeting on the second Sunday of each month at 6:30 pm. Amanda will be hosting, and we’ll discuss the monthly selections and choose what we’d like to read for the upcoming month. We hope you’ll join us - but even if you can’t, please still get the book and talk to Amanda about it! Or - even better - strike up a conversation with someone else who is also reading it this month.

Please support your local bookstores! We are part of Changing Hands’s featured book clubs - which means a discount for you: 10% off paperbacks, 20% off hardcovers; in-store and online. Just mention us! Online, you’ll put it in the “comments” section, and the discount will be manually applied.

MAY’S BOOK 📚 : THE CITY AND THE CITY

- CHINA MIÉVILLE

Amanda’s Commentary: I guess you guys are into murder mysteries that aren’t really that concerned with the central mystery. A woman is murdered, and to solve it, our detective will have to travel to another city; one that exists within the exact same geographic location. Within these parallel universes, we will explore social stratification, political corruption, and the allure of myths. This will be my first time reading it, but it’s been recommended to me by some of my very favorite book friends/fiends (one pitched it to me as “the book version of Disco Elysium” - so I am all in!). Should the votes of your fellow club members and my strange friends not be enough, it also won the 2010 Hugo Award.
