Keep your eyes peeled for another email from us this week. We are announcing the first of two special events McIntyre's is hosting this October. It will be ffascinating…
Margot Lesterwill be here tomorrow, Wednesday, August 5th at 1:30-3:30pm. Margot is a professional writer who holds office hours at McIntyre's the first Wednesday of the month. She will be on hand to answer any writerly questions, nudge or inspire with your projects. First consultations are free.
Saturday, August 15th at 11 am join us for an event with Vanessa Miller, who will discuss her latest novel, The Ladies Hall, with Jennifer Delamere.Based on the real lives of Mary Church Terrell, Anna Julia Cooper, and Ida Gibbs Hunt, The Ladies Hallis a mirror into times of great change--where progress and new possibilities are met with violence and resistance . . . but hope always rises. And it rises still.
The Ladies Hallis an ideal choice for book clubs eager to explore the intersections of race, gender, and resilience in American history. Miller's richly researched narrative sparks meaningful conversation about equality, allyship, and the personal cost of progress--themes that resonate just as powerfully today as they did in the 1880s. An included discussion guide helps groups dig deeper into the legacy these remarkable women left behind.
Speaking of book clubs… Thursday, August 27th, the Our State Book Clubconvenes. Gather with fellow readers for a night of captivating conversation about Andrew Lawler’s The Secret Token, a sweeping account of America's oldest unsolved mystery, the people racing to unearth its answer, and the sobering truths--about race, gender, and immigration--exposed by the story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
Enjoy wine, hors d’oeuvres, and lively conversation as Lawler shares the inspiration behind his novel on The Lost Colony of Roanoke. The evening wraps up with an audience Q&A and book signing,Buyticketswith Our State Magazine.
Also tickets are now available for McIntyre's Fall Book Club events: Thursday, September 17th at 6:30pmand Friday's Morning Book Club Social at 10:30am on September 18th.
