SUMMARY:Online Birders Book Club with DPNC
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our new birding book club starting on February 22\, from 6-7 pm on Zoom. Our first book will be Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of an Extreme Birder by Kenn Kaufman. \nAt sixteen\, Kenn Kaufman dropped out of the high school where he was student council president and hit the road\, hitching back and forth across America\, from Alaska to Florida\, Maine to Mexico. Maybe not all that unusual a thing to do in the seventies\, but what Kenn was searching for was a little different: not sex\, drugs\, God or even self\, but birds. A report of a rare bird would send him hitching nonstop from Pacific to Atlantic and back again. When he was broke he would pick fruit or do odd jobs to earn the fifty dollars or so that would last him for weeks. His goal was to set a record – most North American species seen in a year – but along the way he began to realize that at this breakneck pace he was only looking\, not seeing. What had been a game became a quest for a deeper understanding of the natural world. Kingbird Highway is a unique coming-of-age story\, combining a lyrical celebration of nature with wild\, and sometimes dangerous\, adventures\, starring a colorful cast of characters. \nPlease register to receive the Zoom link for Birding Book Club.

Demonstration should last about half an hour and are planned for 11 a.m.\, 1 p.m.\, and 3 p.m. each day. \nRegistration for the Small Craft Workshop also allows you admission to the WoodenBoat Show for all three days at no additional cost.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Alyssa Maxwell (Murder at Wakehurst)
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books and Savoy Bookshop & Café present an author talk and Q&A with Alyssa Maxwell for the release of the her book Murder at Wakehurst. \nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Book\nIn the autumnal chill of Newport\, Rhode Island\, at the close of the nineteenth century\, journalist Emma Cross discovers an instance of cold-blooded murder on the grounds of a mansion… \nFollowing the death of her uncle\, Cornelius Vanderbilt\, in September 1899\, a somber Emma is in no mood for one of Newport’s extravagant parties. But to keep Vanderbilt’s reckless son Neily out of trouble\, she agrees to accompany him to an Elizabethan fete on the lavish grounds of Wakehurst\, the Ochre Point “cottage” modeled after an English palace\, owned by Anglophile James Van Alen. \nHeld in Wakehurst’s English-style gardens\, the festivities will include a swordplay demonstration\, an archery competition\, scenes from Shakespeare’s plays\, and even a joust. As Emma wanders the grounds distracted by grief\, she overhears a fierce argument between a man and a woman behind a tall hedge. As the joust begins\, she’s drawn by the barking of Van Alen’s dogs and finds a man on the ground\, an arrow through his chest. \nThe victim is one of the 400’s most influential members\, Judge Clayton Schuyler. Could one of the countless criminals he’d imprisoned over the years have returned to seek revenge–or could one of his own family members have targeted him? With the help of her beau Derrick Andrews and Detective Jesse Whyte\, Emma begins to learn the judge was not the straight arrow he appeared to be. As their investigation leads them in ever-widening circles\, Emma will have to score a bull’s eye to stop the killer from taking another life… \nAbout Alyssa Maxwell\nAlyssa Maxwell began a love affair with the city of Newport years ago. Time and again the colonial neighborhoods and grand mansions drew her to return\, and on one of those later visits she met the man who would become her husband. Always a lover of history\, Maxwell found that marrying into a large\, generations–old Newport family opened up an exciting new world of historical discovery. Today\, she and her husband reside in Florida\, but part of her heart remains firmly in that small New England city of great historical significance. For more info please visit www.alyssamaxwell.com.

Registration details are at the bottom of this page. \nAbout the Book\nIn this stunning follow-up to Hollow Kingdom\, the animal kingdom’s “favorite apocalyptic hero”is back with a renewed sense of hope for humanity\, ready to take on a world ravaged by a viral pandemic (Helen Macdonald). \nOnce upon an apocalypse\, there lived an obscenely handsome American crow named S.T. . . . \nWhen the world last checked-in with its favorite Cheeto addict\, the planet had been overrun by flesh-hungry beasts\, and nature had started re-claiming her territory from humankind. S.T.\, the intrepid crow\, alongside his bloodhound-bestie Dennis\, had set about saving pets that had become trapped in their homes after humanity went the way of the dodo. \nThat is\, dear reader\, until S.T. stumbled upon something so rare—and so precious—that he vowed to do everything in his power to safeguard what could\, quite literally\, be humanity’s last hope for survival. But in a wild world plagued by prejudiced animals\, feather-raising environments\, new threats so terrifying they make zombies look like baby bunnies\, and a horrendous dearth of cheesy snacks\, what’s a crow to do? \nWhy\, wing it on another big-hearted\, death-defying adventure\, that’s what! Joined by a fabulous new cast of animal characters\, S.T. faces many new challenges plus his biggest one yet: parenthood. \nAbout Kira Jane Buxton\nKira Jane Buxton’s debut novel\, Hollow Kingdom\, was a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor\, the Audie Awards\, and the Washington State Book Awards\, and was named a best book of 2019 by NPR\, Book Riot\, and Good Housekeeping.

Raised in a secluded island mansion deep in the woods and kept isolated by her true crime-obsessed parents\, she has been unable to move beyond the disappearance of her twin brother\, Andy\, when they were sixteen. \nAfter several years away and following her father’s death\, Dahlia returns to the house where the family soon makes a gruesome discovery: buried in their father’s plot is another body—Andy’s\, his skull split open with an ax. \nDahlia is quick to blame Andy’s murder on the serial killer who terrorized the island for decades\, while the rest of the Lighthouses react to the revelation in unsettling ways.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Emily Adrian (The Second Season)
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books and Savoy Bookshop & Café present an author talk and Q&A with Emily Adrian for the new book The Second Season. Emily will be in conversation with Rufi Thorpe (The Knockout Queen). \nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Book\nRuth Devon starred for Georgetown Basketball back in college — until she injured her knee\, married her coach\, and found a new career calling games on the radio. Twenty years later\, Ruth and her now-ex-husband\, Lester\, are two of the most famous faces in sports media. When Lester decides to retire from the announcers’ booth\, Ruth goes after his job. If she gets it\, she will be the first woman to call NBA games on national television. \nFor now\, Ruth is reporting from the sideline of the NBA finals\, immersed in the high-pressure spectacle of the post-season. But in a deserted locker room at halftime\, Ruth makes a discovery that shatters her vision of her future. Instantly\, she is torn between the two things she has always wanted most: the game and motherhood. \nWith warmth and incisive observation\, Adrian brings to life the obsessions\, emotions\, and drama of fandom. The Second Season asks why\, how\, and whom we watch\, while offering a rich and complicated account of motherhood\, marriage\, and ambition. Adrian’s character study of Ruth Devon illuminates a beautiful basketball mind — and the struggle of a woman who claims authority in a male-dominated world. \nAbout the Authors\nEmily Adrian is the author of two critically acclaimed young adult novels\, Like It Never Happened and The Foreseeable Future. Everything Here Is under Control is her first adult novel. She lives in New Haven\, Connecticut\, with her husband\, her son\, and their dog\, Hank. \nRufi Thorpe received her MFA from the University of Virginia in 2009. She is the author of Dear Fang\, with Love and The Girls from Corona del Mar\, which was long listed for the 2014 International Dylan Thomas Prize and for the 2014 Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize. A native of California\, she currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and sons.

But in terms of caretaking and relating to two children\, no matter how adorable\, Patrick is\, honestly\, overwhelmed. \nSo when tragedy strikes and Maisie and Grant lose their mother and Patrick’s brother has a health crisis of his own\, Patrick finds himself suddenly taking on the role of primary guardian. Despite having a set of “Guncle Rules” ready to go\, Patrick has no idea what to expect\, having spent years barely holding on after the loss of his great love\, a somewhat-stalled acting career\, and a lifestyle not-so-suited to a six- and a nine-year-old. Quickly realizing that parenting–even if temporary–isn’t solved with treats and jokes\, Patrick’s eyes are opened to a new sense of responsibility\, and the realization that\, sometimes\, even being larger than life means you’re unfailingly human. \nWith the humor and heart we’ve come to expect from bestselling author Steven Rowley\, The Guncle is a moving tribute to the power of love\, patience\, and family in even the most trying of times. \nAbout the Author\nSteven Rowley is the author of The Editor and the national bestseller Lily and the Octopus\, which has been translated into nineteen languages. He has worked as a freelance writer\, newspaper columnist\, and screenwriter. Originally from Portland\, Maine\, Rowley is a graduate of Emerson College. He lives in Palm Springs\, California.

His short daily runs are on mere delivery errands\, but he aspires to one day be among the elite foot couriers who run up to fifty miles on vital missions of state. When an impending invasion from faraway Persia\, the world’s most powerful empire–led by a temperamental tyrant bent on destroying democracy–threatens Athens and the entire land of squabbling Greek city-states\, Pheidippides must undertake a grueling solitary trek to outrun enemy ships heading for his beloved city.

Box\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Range \nThe Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia’s rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast\, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades\, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers\, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region\, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice. \nHailey McBride calls Cold Creek home. Her father taught her to respect nature\, how to live and survive off the land\, and to never travel the highway alone. Now he’s gone\, leaving her a teenage orphan in the care of her aunt whose police officer husband uses his badge as a means to bully and control Hailey. Overwhelmed by grief and forbidden to work\, socialize\, or date\, Hailey vanishes into the mountainous terrain\, hoping everyone will believe she’s left town. Rumors spread that she was taken by the highway killer―who’s claimed another victim over the summer. \nOne year later\, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek\, where her sister Amber lived―and where she was murdered. Estranged from her parents and seeking closure\, Beth takes a waitressing job at the local diner\, just as Amber did\, desperate to understand what happened to her and why. But Beth’s search for answers puts a target on her back―and threatens to reveal the truth behind Hailey’s disappearance… \nAbout Chevy Stevens\nCHEVY STEVENS lives on Vancouver Island with her husband and daughter. When she isn’t working on her next book\, she’s hiking with her two dogs on her favorite mountain trails and spending time with her family.
