Dear Zoe is Tess’s letter to her sister\, written as a means of figuring out her own life and her place in the world-and the result is a novel of rare power and grace that tells us much about ours. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/three-rivers-readers-book-club-4/ LOCATION:CLP – Downtown\, 612 Smithfield Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15222\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/dear-zoe-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4417491;-79.9971122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Downtown 612 Smithfield Street Pittsburgh PA 15222 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=612 Smithfield Street:geo:-79.9971122,40.4417491 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261209T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261209T150000 DTSTAMP:20261105T141809Z CREATED:20261016T191525Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261105T141809Z UID:10008855-1796824800-1796828400@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club - The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n The Master and Margarita\n Mikhail Bulgakov \n \n\n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n Audiobook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-the-master-and-margarita-by-mikhail-bulgakov/ LOCATION:CLP – Sheraden\, 720 Sherwood Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15204\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/the-master-and-margarita-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4552007;-80.0565352 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Sheraden 720 Sherwood Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15204 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=720 Sherwood Avenue:geo:-80.0565352,40.4552007 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261209T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261209T160000 DTSTAMP:20261105T142740Z CREATED:20261019T152820Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261105T142740Z UID:10008910-1796828400-1796832000@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club - We Do Not Part by Han Kang DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on We Do Not Part by Han Kang. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n We Do Not Part\n A Novel\n Han Kang \n \n\n One morning in December\, Kyungha receives a message from her friend Inseon saying she has been hospitalized in Seoul and asking that Kyungha join her urgently.

A snowstorm hits the island when Kyungha arrives. She must reach Inseon’s house at all costs\, but the icy wind and snow squalls slow her down as night begins to fall. She wonders if she will arrive in time to save Inseon’s bird-or even survive the terrible cold that envelops her with every step. Lost in a world of snow\, she doesn’t yet suspect the vertiginous plunge into the darkness which awaits her at her friend’s house. There\, the long-buried story of Inseon’s family surges into light\, in dreams and memories passed from mother to daughter\, and in the archive painstakingly assembled at the house\, documenting a terrible massacre on the island. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n eAudio URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-we-do-not-part-by-han-kang/ LOCATION:CLP – Squirrel Hill\, 5801 Forbes Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15217\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/We-Do-Not-Part_1080x600.jpg GEO:40.4384436;-79.9227127 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Squirrel Hill 5801 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15217 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=5801 Forbes Avenue:geo:-79.9227127,40.4384436 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261210T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261210T130000 DTSTAMP:20261105T143141Z CREATED:20261006T160513Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261105T143141Z UID:10007793-1796904000-1796907600@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger.\nThis title is available for checkout in our Catalog\, and also as an eBook and as an eAudio.\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Ordinary Grace\n A Novel\n William Kent Krueger \n \n\n Looking back at a tragic event that occurred during his thirteenth year\, Frank Drum explores how a complicated web of secrets\, adultery\, and betrayal shattered his Methodist family and their small 1961 Minnesota community. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Other Formats\n \n \n \n Audiobook \n \n \n \n Large Print \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n eAudio URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-5/ LOCATION:CLP – West End\, 47 Wabash St\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15220\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club,Social Gatherings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/ordinary-grace-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4400574;-80.034045 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – West End 47 Wabash St Pittsburgh PA 15220 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=47 Wabash St:geo:-80.034045,40.4400574 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261210T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261210T183000 DTSTAMP:20261105T143432Z CREATED:20261019T142006Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261105T143432Z UID:10008907-1796923800-1796927400@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Page Turners Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson .

Most of all\, we are with them as they behold and record their silent blue planet. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sunsets and the bright\, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at once breathtakingly awesome and surprisingly intimate.

A woman lives in a house with all her ex-boyfriends. A toxic friendship grows up around a drug that makes you invisible. An ancient ritual might heal you of anything–if you bury yourself alive.\n\nThese and other scenarios investigate the ways that the outlandish and the ordinary are shockingly\, deceptively\, heartbreakingly alike. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-26/ LOCATION:CLP – Hill District\, 2177 Centre Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, 15219\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/bliss-montage-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4454367;-79.9767578 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Hill District 2177 Centre Avenue Pittsburgh 15219 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2177 Centre Avenue:geo:-79.9767578,40.4454367 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270106T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270106T193000 DTSTAMP:20261112T165241Z CREATED:20261103T185911Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261112T165241Z UID:10009422-1799260200-1799263800@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n The Book of Form and Emptiness\n A Novel\n Ruth Ozeki \n \n\n A boy who hears the voices of objects all around him; a mother drowning in her possessions; and a Book that might hold the secret to saving them both—with its blend of sympathetic characters\, riveting plot\, and vibrant engagement with everything from jazz\, to climate change\, to our attachment to material possessions\, The Book of Form and Emptiness is classic Ruth Ozeki—bold\, wise\, poignant\, playful\, humane and heartbreaking. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-43/ LOCATION:CLP – Allegheny\, 1230 Federal Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15212\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/the-book-of-form-and-emptiness-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4563927;-80.006615 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Allegheny 1230 Federal Street Pittsburgh PA 15212 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1230 Federal Street:geo:-80.006615,40.4563927 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270109T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270109T113000 DTSTAMP:20261106T182801Z CREATED:20261020T162928Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261106T182801Z UID:10009067-1799490600-1799494200@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club : The Overnight Guest  DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf. \n  \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n The Overnight Guest\n Heather Gudenkauf \n \n\n True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book.
