Don't always get the book read? This book club is for you. Dive into short stories and novellas of all genres. This month's selection is "Glaciers" by Alexis M. Smith. Age 18 and up.

If you have the best of intentions about book clubs, but don't always get the book read, this is for you! If you want to try a new genre without committing to a full book, this is also for you. This month, we'll be reading Glaciers by Alexis M. Smith.

Book summary:
Unfolding over the course of a single day, Alexis M. Smith’s shimmering debut finds Isabel looking into her past—remembering her parents’ separation, a meeting with an astrologer, and a life-changing encounter with a glacier—and shows us how fleeting, everyday moments can reveal an entire life. In classic movies, in old photographs and unsent postcards, rare books, and thrifted gems, Glaciers tells the story of a young woman’s love of the past and a hope to make something new and all her own.
