Our Bookseller’s Choice Book Club is a true literary “grab bag” — a charcuterie board of compelling reads selected across genres by our bookselling team. Each month, we gather at the shop to dive into a new selection, sharing perspectives and lively conversation about the book and its themes.

This October, we’re celebrating the release of Bonnie Garmus’ highly-anticipated brand new novel with a throwback read of her 2022 debut novel, Lessons in Chemistry.

Set in the 1960s, this witty and heartfelt novel follows brilliant chemist Elizabeth Zott, whose career is derailed by sexism before she unexpectedly becomes the star of a beloved cooking show. Blending sharp humor with poignant social commentary, Lessons in Chemistry is an inspiring story about resilience, ambition, and challenging the status quo.

Lessons in Chemistry is currently IN STOCK in the shop and ready for purchase in-person!
