BOOK CLUB

Each month the Bookshop selects a different book
to read and review. Then, at 12:15 on the last
Wednesday of the month, we meet in person at the
Bookshop to discuss that book. We have been
most fortunate to have local authors leading these
discussions. Everyone is invited to share his/her
impressions, and notes are taken and circulated.
Presently, we have a lively and interesting group of
regulars. We hope you can join us.

SPRING LINE UP

During the Spring season the Episcopal
Bookshop invites you to come and participate in
a new way of listening. On the last Wednesday
of each month, February 27 and March 26,  
members of the cast of Voices of the South will
be at the bookshop to read-out-loud several
stories from Phyllis Tickle’s beautiful Lent and
Easter book, Wisdom in the Waiting.  One of
the stories is “Swallowtails,” a poetic account
from everyday life on the farm in Lucy.

After reading the story out loud in February,
they will begin the staging process in March.
You can be privy to that process. Voices of the
South, a local theater company, has been
working in Memphis for the past ten years.
Members are devoted to bringing to life the
written word not just in the theater, but in
service throughout the community.  


Then,on April 30, (now) local author, Janet
Baker-Carr will be here to discuss here lovely
collection of stories, An Extravagance of
Donkeys. Ms. Baker-Carr has a beautiful voice
and is a natural performer. Just to hear her read
her stories is a great treat. But come to discuss
them with her,too!


Local architect/author, Jim Williamson will be
with us on Wednesday, May 21 to discuss his
new novel, The Architect. The book is a
mystery set in Memphis. Amidst all the intrigue,
he shares insight-- drawn from extensive first-
hand experience-- into the planning and building  
of churches. An interesting topic for further
discussion.



Bring a sack lunch if you’d like.
We’ll supply the coffee and soft drinks.
