SUMMARY:Literary Libations | December Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow book lovers for Literary Libations\, a free monthly book club hosted in the Parlor Room at The Study at Morrison House. Taking place one Wednesday each month\, this gathering offers a relaxed and welcoming space to dive into your next read—whether it’s a timeless classic\, a trending release\, or the latest must-read from BookTok. \nSip on themed cocktails and mocktails inspired by the book of the month\, pair them with small plates from The Study’s bar menu\, or linger after the discussion to indulge in a seasonal tasting menu. \nLiterary Libations isn’t a formal\, structured discussion—it’s a cozy salon for mingling\, exchanging ideas\, and diving into new worlds together. Conversation starters and thoughtful prompts will be scattered around the room\, but the conversation is all yours to shape. \nBOOK OF THE MONTH: Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan\nIt is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas\, Bill Furlong\, a coal merchant and family man faces into his busiest season. Early one morning\, while delivering an order to the local convent\, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church. \nAn international bestseller\, Small Things Like These is a deeply affecting story of hope\, quiet heroism\, and empathy from one of our most critically lauded and iconic writers.
