MOVIE BOOK CLUB
Welcome to Movie Book Club—for anyone who loves movies, books, or simply having opinions about both. Hosted by author Margaret Malone, each session invites you to watch a literary adaptation and then stick around for a warm, lively, and lightly irreverent post-screening conversation. Bring your thoughts, your questions, your favorite passages, and your spiciest hot takes.
Read the book if you want, or just show up for the movie! Either way, you’ll leave with new ideas, new questions, and maybe a new favorite character to lovingly overanalyze.
