About this event

Ever look at a book and think, “That trash is SO not my thing”? Is the thought of reading horror horrifying? Is Jane Austen exhaustin’? Maybe you’ve read every Dungeon Crawler Carl book but NEVER Twilight (or vice versa!). Whatever your bibliophile phobia is, join the Trash Talk Book Club and see just how much your mind can change…or not! YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT: Pick a book you think you’ll dislike. This can be because of subject matter, genre, a really weird cover…whatever does NOT float your boat. Read it and bring it to Trash Talk Book Club to talk, well, trash. Or not! Remember! One person's trash is another person's treasure, and you may discover what you thought was garbage is now your new favorite genre. What we'll discuss: Why would you normally not pick up this book? Did you dislike it as much as you thought or did you wind up enjoying it? Perhaps the book changed your mind about something! How did the reading experience surprise you? Maybe you found scathing GoodReads reviews that made you fist-pump the air in agreement and you want to share them out of pure delight at feeling vindicated and right. Whatever the case, nobody will walk away without having experienced something new. So let's expand our reading horizons and maybe even change our minds together…or not!
