The book club is reading The White Heart of Mojave, a page turner by Edna Brush Perkins, who begins her adventure with a good friend in Death Valley in the 1920s.

It helps if you read the book, but it's not essential. Come and enjoy hanging out with this lovely, literate desert crowd. There's a potluck - bring something to share. Bring a flashlight if you want to venture over to Laura's Wonderland of Books afterwards. There's no electricity, so you'll need a flashlight to check out this lovely bookstore!

Kip's Desert Book Club - Road to Soul

Monday, September 7, 2015 at 7:00pm

Copper Mountain Mesa Community Center Gazebo

65336 Winters Road, Joshua Tree CA 92252

Everyone is welcome and invited to attend - bring a dish to share for the potluck, and your favorite beverage. Dogs on leashes are welcome at this venue.

Our September book club selection is ROAD TO SOUL by Carmen Mendoza. Don't feel bad if you haven't heard about it – this collection of short stories was published only a few months ago with a book release party at the 29 Palms Inn. Mendoza is a graduate of Twentynine Palms High School, and now lives in Colorado. The memories of driving the lonely roads of the Mojave inspire Mendoza's writing to this day. The prose gets a little racy at times, a perfect easy read for the end of summer.

This is the twelfth meeting of Kip's Desert Book Club. Learn more about this monthly gathering.

P.S. In honor of the one year anniversary of Kip's Desert Book Club in October, October's book club meeting will be at The Palms Restaurant and Saloon and we will be reading Edna in the Desert by Maddy Lederman, a book written in, and about, Wonder Valley.
