Check out our Facebook page for details.This month we are reading The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker. Here is the story of the Iliad as we’ve never heard it before: in the words of Briseis, Trojan queen and captive of Achilles. Given only a few words in Homer’s epic and largely erased by history, she is nonetheless a pivotal figure in the Trojan War. In these pages she comes fully to life: wry, watchful, forging connections among her fellow female prisoners even as she is caught between Greece’s two most powerful warriors. Her story pulls back the veil on the thousands of women who lived behind the scenes of the Greek army camp—concubines, nurses, prostitutes, the women who lay out the dead—as gods and mortals spar, and as a legendary war hurtles toward its inevitable conclusion. Brilliantly written, filled with moments of terror and beauty, The Silence of the Girls gives voice to an extraordinary woman—and makes an ancient story new again. You can read more on the monthly book club blog.

Thursday February 27th - (6:30pm) Fantasy/Sci-Fi Book Club: Join us at Foggy Pine Books for our monthly meeting of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi Book Club. This month we're reading MONSTRESS by Marjorie Liu. Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900’s Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steampunk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both. We'll share wine & conversation as we discuss the book. You can read more about the book with interviews and reviews on the book club page and you can RSVP here on our Facebook page.
Thursday February 20th - (6:30pm) Author Reading: Scott Huffard: Foggy Pine Books will host author and Lees-McRae professor Scott Huffard, who will be speaking about his new book, Engines of Redemption. In his book, Huffard examines the rapid growth, systemization, and consolidation of the southern railroad network, demonstrating how economic and political elites used the symbolic power of the railroad to proclaim a New South had risen. The railroad was more than just an economic engine of growth; it was a powerful symbol of capitalism’s advance. Join us for a reading, Q&A session, and book signing! RSVP here on our Facebook page.
Tuesday, February 18th - (7:00pm) TRIO: A Traveling Exhibit: TRIO celebrates the inspirational power of great storytelling through art, music and literature.

Each TRIO starts with a book, which is given to a musician and a visual artist, who then write a song, a piece of music, a work of art inspired by the story. Joining us for this event are authors Caleb Johnson (Treeborne), Dale Neal (Appalachian Book of the Dead), Bobbie Pyron (Stay), Kimberly J Simms (Lindy Lee: Songs on Mill Hill), Shari Smith (I Am A Town), and Terry H Watkins (Darling Girl). Songwriters in attendance will include: PJ Brunson, Mark Bumgarner, Kay and Patrick Crouch, Eric Erdman, and Radney Foster. Visual artists Joanie Gardner and Liz McKay will also be in attendance. We hope you'll join us for this free event and check out some of the books, music, and art promoted by TRIO. You can learn more and RSVP here on our Facebook page.

Check out our Facebook page for details.This month we are reading The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker. Here is the story of the Iliad as we’ve never heard it before: in the words of Briseis, Trojan queen and captive of Achilles. Given only a few words in Homer’s epic and largely erased by history, she is nonetheless a pivotal figure in the Trojan War. In these pages she comes fully to life: wry, watchful, forging connections among her fellow female prisoners even as she is caught between Greece’s two most powerful warriors. Her story pulls back the veil on the thousands of women who lived behind the scenes of the Greek army camp—concubines, nurses, prostitutes, the women who lay out the dead—as gods and mortals spar, and as a legendary war hurtles toward its inevitable conclusion. Brilliantly written, filled with moments of terror and beauty, The Silence of the Girls gives voice to an extraordinary woman—and makes an ancient story new again. You can read more on the monthly book club blog.

Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard.
