The next book for book club is... Vanishing Treasures by Katherine Rundell. The meeting date is September 11th, from 7-9pm at the taproom.

This urgent, inspiring book of essays dedicated to 23 unusual and underappreciated creatures is a clarion call insisting that we look at the world around us with new eyes—to see the magic of the animals we live among, their unknown histories and capabilities, and above all how lucky we are to tread the same ground as such vanishing treasures.

I was introduced to Katherine Rundell by my 8 year old son! Earlier this summer we blew through her fantasy novel Impossible Creatures in just a few days. It was one of those books where he was asking me to read to him while he was swinging on the swings, and even floating in the lake! We couldn’t put it down. I’m hoping some of that magic will be captured in her nature nonfiction work as well.

The book is available for purchase in the taproom right now! You can also pick up a copy at @booksandmortar
