Book club meets Nov. 4 at Ginkgo

Hamline Bookstore is excited to announce that the Purple Onion Book Club will read Kate DiCamillo’s “Flora and Ulysses” this month, opening the club to all ages for the first time since it was organized in 2013.

The club will meet to discuss “Flora and Ulysses” on Mon., Nov. 3, 6:15pm at Ginkgo Coffeehouse, 721 Snelling Ave. Everyone is welcome to attend and there is no need to RSVP in advance. Several of DiCamillo’s books will be available for sale at the event, and there will be a special gift for all who attend the club discussion.

The Purple Onion Book Club was created by Hamline Bookstore Manager Melanie

Farley to recognize and celebrate local authors. Over the last year they have read and discussed several books, including “Chronicles” by Bob Dylan. Book club meetings have been attended by students, community members and book enthusiasts. Several of the authors have also attended, including Hamline Faculty author John Brandon and New York Times bestselling novelist, William Kent Krueger.
