For those of you who missed Maria Finn - here are some photos of the tango demonstration portion of the evening - on our carpeted floor!

Online Book Club

Bookworks is starting a (mostly) online book club!  Our first book selection is Elif Batuman's The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books & the People Who Read Them - an essay collection I think will give us plenty of potential things to talk about (as well as some fun external media... I wonder if Woody Allen's Love and Death will be relevant!)

Please email me at lkuechen@gmail.com - I'll be sorting out a few technical details soon, and I'd like to have the email addresses of those who wish to be involved, because I may have come up with a really fun way to conduct the discussions online, and I'll need to email all of you details.

New Releases This Month

The Brightest Star in the Sky (Hardcover)

By Marian Keyes
$26.95

Keyes delivers a dizzying vertical view of the mismatched, mixed-up tenants of Dublin's 66 Star Street, friends and lovers who grow up, grow old and give way to their heart currents with help from a puckish sprite. This multitiered saga of Dubliners searching for the brightest star in the sky... the planet of love straddles slapstick and sophistication in an engaging balancing act both giddy and grand.
