Book Group Festival featuring Novelist J. Ryan Stradal:
Rakestraw Books
3 Railroad Ave, Danville
Tuesday, June 7th, 2016
7:00pm – 10:00pm | $15This year’s Book Group Festival — a celebration of books, book groups, and writing — is inspired by the powerful belief that sharing stories with each other is incredibly important. As we become more and more disconnected from each other — our busy lives, the digital illusion — coming together to discuss a great book, and our lives and values, is more important than ever. Every great book group needs great books to discuss and that’s where we come in! During the course of this evening, our team of book nerds will present a terrific array — some new and some not-so-new — of books worth reading and worth discussing. We promise your group will go away fired up to read beyond the bestseller list, and way, way beyond your sister’s hairdresser’s friend’s self-published novel!
