Tree Hugger Book Club Meeting

The Tree Hugger Book club is for nature enthusiasts who like to read. We will meet at Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve Sunday, November 15 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. to discuss Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. We will provide discussion questions to guide conversation, and all are welcome. Feel free to bring snacks to share. There will be an optional hike in the woods after the discussion. Some info on the book – Where the Crawdads Sing is a 2018 coming-of-age murder mystery novel by American zoologist Delia Owens. The story follows Kya at different points in her life, from a young girl growing up by herself in a North Carolina swamp to her trial for the murder of a local celebrity. The theme of ethology, the study of animal behavior, Delia Owens’ profession, runs through the book. You should be able to buy or order the book from Snail on the Wall (our local, independent book store) or get it from the library (book, Large Print, Audiobook, eAudiobook, eBook, or Kindle versions). Some good sources for buying it secondhand are: thrift stores, Friends of the Library, and various online stores. Location: Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve – 1263 U.S Hwy 72 East, Huntsville, AL 35811 Directions: Coming from Huntsville, cross Chapman Mountain and u-turn at Moores Mill Road.
