SUMMARY:Literary Libations | September Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Where good books meet great drinks at The Study at Morrison House! \nJoin fellow book lovers for Literary Libations\, a free monthly book club hosted in the Parlor Room at The Study at Morrison House. Taking place one Wednesday each month\, this gathering offers a relaxed and welcoming space to dive into your next read—whether it’s a timeless classic\, a trending release\, or the latest must-read from BookTok. \nSip on themed cocktails and mocktails inspired by the book of the month\, pair them with small plates from The Study’s bar menu\, or linger after the discussion to indulge in a seasonal tasting menu. \nLiterary Libations isn’t a formal\, structured discussion—it’s a cozy salon for mingling\, exchanging ideas\, and diving into new worlds together. Conversation starters and thoughtful prompts will be scattered around the room\, but the conversation is all yours to shape. \n*SPECIAL DISCOUNT at Old Town Books when attendees mention Literary Libations at checkout! \n  \nBOOK OF THE MONTH: East of Eden by John Steinbeck \nA masterpiece of Biblical scope\, and the magnum opus of one of America’s most enduring authors\, in a deluxe Centennial edition \nIn his journal\, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck called East of Eden “the first book\,” and indeed it has the primordial power and simplicity of myth. Set in the rich farmland of California’s Salinas Valley\, this sprawling and often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families—the Trasks and the Hamiltons—whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. \nThe masterpiece of Steinbeck’s later years\, East of Eden is a work in which Steinbeck created his most mesmerizing characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity\, the inexplicability of love\, and the murderous consequences of love’s absence. Adapted for the 1955 film directed by Elia Kazan introducing James Dean\, and read by thousands as the book that brought Oprah’s Book Club back\, East of Eden has remained vitally present in American culture for over half a century. This Centennial edition\, specially designed to commemorate one hundred years of Steinbeck\, features french flaps and deckle-edged pages. \nPenguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world\, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors\, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

SUMMARY:Literary Libations | October Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Where good books meet great drinks at The Study at Morrison House! \nJoin fellow book lovers for Literary Libations\, a free monthly book club hosted in the Parlor Room at The Study at Morrison House. Taking place one Wednesday each month\, this gathering offers a relaxed and welcoming space to dive into your next read—whether it’s a timeless classic\, a trending release\, or the latest must-read from BookTok. \nSip on themed cocktails and mocktails inspired by the book of the month\, pair them with small plates from The Study’s bar menu\, or linger after the discussion to indulge in a seasonal tasting menu. \nLiterary Libations isn’t a formal\, structured discussion—it’s a cozy salon for mingling\, exchanging ideas\, and diving into new worlds together. Conversation starters and thoughtful prompts will be scattered around the room\, but the conversation is all yours to shape. \n*SPECIAL DISCOUNT at Old Town Books when attendees mention Literary Libations at checkout! \n  \nBOOK OF THE MONTH: Katabasis by R.F. Kuang \nThe story of a hero’s descent to the underworld. \nAlice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride\, her health\, her love life\, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge\, the greatest magician in the world. \nThat is\, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault. \nGrimes is now in Hell\, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams…. \nNor will the fact that her rival\, Peter Murdoch\, has come to the very same conclusion. \nWith nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them\, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells\, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything\, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like. \nBut Hell is not like the storybooks say\, Magick isn’t always the answer\, and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect allies…or lead to their doom.
