Literary Libations | December Book Club

Join fellow book lovers for Literary Libations, a free monthly book club hosted in the Parlor Room at The Study at Morrison House. Taking place one Wednesday each month, this gathering offers a relaxed and welcoming space to dive into your next read—whether it’s a timeless classic, a trending release, or the latest must-read from BookTok.

Sip on themed cocktails and mocktails inspired by the book of the month, pair them with small plates from The Study’s bar menu, or linger after the discussion to indulge in a seasonal tasting menu.

Literary Libations isn’t a formal, structured discussion—it’s a cozy salon for mingling, exchanging ideas, and diving into new worlds together. Conversation starters and thoughtful prompts will be scattered around the room, but the conversation is all yours to shape.

It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.

An international bestseller, Small Things Like These is a deeply affecting story of hope, quiet heroism, and empathy from one of our most critically lauded and iconic writers.

Info: The first 15 minutes of the book club will be used for guests to get settled, maybe order a cocktail or small plate from the bar, and allow for wiggle room for anyone running late!

Info: Our local host will welcome you and your fellow book lovers to the space. Following an introduction of the book, our host will pose a question or prompt to ignite discussions amongst the group!

Info: There is no formal ending to our Literary Libations book club. Feel free to sip, mingle and discuss for as short or as long as you'd like!
