Second Tuesday- Our Fiction Group:
We are reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Debut novelist Harkness has crafted a mesmerizing and addictive read, equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense--a richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together.

This insightful novel of independence and family ties is the latest winner of the Bywater Prize for Fiction.

Event Info: Tuesday, April 17th at 6:30pm Just the Facts- Our non-fiction group:We're doing a field trip!
Our book this month is Poseidon's Steed: the Story of Seahorses, from Myth to Reality by Helen Scales.

Words & Wine: Tuesday April 3rd @ 6pm
Enjoy light pupus and refreshments, hear book readings and talk story with these local authors:
Maxima Forslund: 
Maxima May Forslund is a Reiki Master, certified Healing Touch, and founder of Kukui Lani Healing. She has written My Journey Through Healing: Your Guide to Self Empowerment to "inspire people and help them appreciate themselves, their lives and the universe, more. The book is a roadmap of her personal journey, but also a beacon for others on their own path.
Dennis Gregory: 
Dennis is a writer, teacher, poet and singer. His two books are: The Last God, a lost Gospel revealing that Jesus Christ's true father is a Persian Prince and Savior's Odyssey, the sequel which begins when Jesus is 56 years old living a boring life as a prince in Babylon. Denny calls his books "A controversial, mind-changing, wild ride with Jesus."
Bradajo: Born on the Island of Kaua'i, Jozuf Hadley is also know as Bradajo (Brother Joe) for his books and recorded narrations of poetry and short stories in Hawaii's Pidgin English. Chaloookyu Eensai first appeared in 1972. Now considered a classic in this genre, it was recently reprinted and includes photos, a CD, and translations of the title piece in Hawaiian, English, Japanese, Tagalog and Chinese.  John G. Rees:John G. Rees was a salvage diver in Honolulu in the 80's and 90's, getting a lot of research first hand. This is his third horror novel, Black Tide, a journey, back in time to the beginning for protagonist Jake Strom. Hang on for another macabre ride as Jake comes to terms, sort of, with what he has become while doing the bidding of men whose minds are twisted with greed.
