Eleven Lakes, Endless Stories: Book Club

Calling all book lovers in the Finger Lakes region! Whether you’re a lifelong reader or just getting back into the habit, our cozy book club is the perfect place to connect, relax, and dive into great stories – together.  Come share books, conversation, and connection.  All of the books we read and discuss will have a Finger Lakes connection – topic, author and/or setting. We are beginning this group with a pilot program. The third session will be held on January 6 and will feature author Lori Duffy Foster and her book Never Let Go by Lori Duffy Foster. We will meet in November, December, and January at the Saunders Finger Lakes Museum in Branchport, where we share thoughtful reads, laughter, and a glass of local wine and snacks.  From contemporary fiction to timeless classics, we explore a little bit of everything—always with a welcoming, no-pressure vibe.  Whether you’re a casual reader or a devoted bibliophile, you’ll find a seat (and a snack!) waiting for you. Register now to reserve a spot! Virtual option available upon request – email us at communications@fingerlakesmuseum.org All are welcome.  Join us for stories, community, and a taste of the literary life in the heart of the Finger Lakes. New members are always welcome!  Come for the books, stay for the friendship—and discover the stories waiting between the lakes. Our January read will be Never Let Go by Lori Duffy Foster: Most people have nightmares while they sleep. Carla Murphy awakens to find herself living one. Carla is excited when her best friend asks her to lunch and tells her to bring the baby. Rachel dislikes children and had been distant throughout Carla’s pregnancy. But Carla should have known that people don’t change that quickly. Lunch was a ruse. Carla emerges from a drug-induced slumber sealed in a room in Rachel’s basement with her son gone. Her best friend is no friend. She is obsessed with Carla’s husband and will kill them both if she doesn’t get what she wants. Carla has no choice. She must help Rachel, her confidant since childhood, seduce her husband or they all die, and her baby will be lost to her forever. Books can be purchased from any bookseller, on-line or in person, the Libby app, or on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=never+let+go+lori+duffy+foster&crid=3H3R7SNDHA7W0&sprefix=never+let+go+lori+duffy+foster%2Caps%2C97&ref=nb_sb_noss
