Just finished another riveting book and craving some lively discussion? Join us for a book club that is anything but dry?
Centennial Hills Library in partnership with Councilwoman Nancy Brune invite you to join us for this afterhours book club that pairs delicious mocktails with books that showcase Nevada’s unique essence and history.
Each quarter, we’ll feature a new title for discussion paired with mocktails that are just as lively as the stories themselves. Whether you bring your buddies or are looking to meet new literary enthusiasts, prepare for an after-hours experience where Nevada's tales and tantalizing mocktails create unforgettable connections.
This Quarter’s Book: The Bitter Past by Bruce Borgos Click here to see the book in our catalog.
"Porter Beck is the sheriff in the high desert of Nevada, north of Las Vegas. Born and raised there, he left to join the Army, where he worked in Intelligence, deep in the shadows in far off places. Now he's back home, doing the same lawman's job his father once did, before his father started to develop dementia. All is relatively quiet in this corner of the world, until an old, retired FBI agent is found killed. He was brutally tortured before he was killed and clues at the scene point to a mystery dating back to the early days of the nuclear age. If that wasn't strange enough, a current FBI agent shows up to help Beck's investigation. In a case that unfolds in the past (the 1950s) and the present, it seems that a Russian spy infiltrated the nuclear testing site and now someone is looking for that long-ago, all-but forgotten person, who holds the key to what happened then and to the deadly goings on now."
A variety of mocktails will be provided to include Ginger Lime Mule, Lime Margarita, Grapefruit Paloma, and Watermelon Mojito.
Register early as space is limited. Free and open to the public. Must be 18 years or over to attend.
A limited number of books are available for checkout at the Centennial Hills Library Multiservices Desk after registering. Digital editions may also be available through our catalog.
