Haskill Creek Book Club

We love getting book recommendations from our friends and family, and are always trying to carve out more time to read! I personally love reading, but I find it hard to prioritize when there are so many things pulling us in all types of directions.

Every year it seems like “reading more” is on my perpetual to-do list. Whether it’s beach reads, books that keep me learning, or honestly even just reading novels to my kids on a consistent basis, it’s always in the back of my mind.

One of the things we all love about Haskill Creek is the wonderful community that we have–first born out of our summer events series supporting Save Farmland 3 years ago, and continued on with painting classes, wreath making, in-store shopping events and more! We’re always looking for more opportunities for gathering, and in the spirit of both community and self-care in the form of reading, the Haskill Creek Book Club was born.

Now, we’re realists and we know that everyone’s lives are busy, so we’re not committing to more than one book a quarter–a pace with which we hope most of you are comfortable with! After we read the book, we’ll host a little get together with snacks and wine, where we can talk about what we liked and didn’t like, explore characters more deeply and talk about themes and plotlines, AND most importantly get together for a fun evening. 

Whether you’re looking for more motivation and shared accountability for picking up more books, inspiration for novels you may not have otherwise read, or want to add a fun night to your social calendar after you’re done reading, you’ve come to the right place!

So far, we’ve read Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver (our late-summer pick for 2024), and North Woods by Daniel Mason (we’re meeting next week–February 6, 2025–to discuss this one, you can RSVP here!) And it’s been wonderful to see interest from lots of members of our community.
