The Music Hall Book Club summer reading suggestions!
The Music Hall Book Club continues to be one of the most interesting clubs we have here at The Music Hall. The Music Hall Book Club meets at the Residences at Portwalk Place once a month to enjoy a lively discussion on a variety of books. This unique benefit is offered to members at our Contributor level and above.
Since our summers are so busy with vacations, visitors, and other activities, we will not be meeting in July and August. We have compiled a list of all local reads as our summer reading list. We encourage you to shop local and learn more about the Seacoast!
While we are not meeting together throughout the summer, we have created The Music Hall Book Club on Facebook so we can stay in touch throughout the summer with book reviews, questions, suggested reading and more. For more information on how to join The Music Hall Book Club Facebook page please reach out to Lorianne at 603-766-2176 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
When we meet in September we are discussing Erik Larson’s book Dead Wake.
