Looking for great titles to add to your “must read” list in 2024?

Join book club facilitators Alice Moody and Ann Walters, founders of Between the Covers Book Discussions, for an exciting, in-person event designed to help you break through the clutter. In just one hour, Alice and Ann will recommend 20+ new books guaranteed to move and inspire you. They’ll depict tales from Jamaica’s Rastafarian community to the gentrifying streets of Wicker Park; they’ll take you on a journey to a women’s prison in California and a cooking school in Paris; they’ll share insights about everything from self-empowerment to consumerism to shifting family dynamics.

Don’t miss this special literary event. Meet fellow reading enthusiasts and come away with great recommendations to get you through the winter.

About Alice & Ann: 

Alice Moody & Ann Walters began Between the Covers Book Discussions in 2016. As professional facilitators, they’ve led hundreds of talks at libraries, independent bookstores, community centers, and private homes and venues. In addition to hosting pop-up recommendation events, they run a popular online literary subscription series, now in its third year. Before founding their current venture, Ann was a longtime bookseller at Lake Forest Book Stores and blogged at Books on the Table. Alice, a writing coach and workshop leader, created Short Stories Live, a unique program that melds live performance with literary discussion. Both Alice & Ann believe in the power of books to build connections and broaden our understanding of humanity. 

Gorton Center will take and may use photos and videos from this event for its promotional purposes. Your attendance indicates your consent to the above.
