Old Town Books September A Good Yarn Book Club: Social Animals

Mon, Sep 28 · 7:00 PM Old Town Books · Old Town Alexandria

Join us at Old Town Books as we discuss our September A Good Yarn book club pick: Social Animals by Camille Perri Join a group of craft-curious makers who get together and unwind via making: knitting, needlepoint, collage. You name it. Listen to the month’s book while you craft at home & then bring your WIP or FO to show off while we discuss the book! To join the club subscribe via the Old Town Books page on Libro.fm You will get your first audiobook free! RSVP for our IRL meetups here then get crafting (and listening.) By attending any and all Old Town Books events you are agreeing to our code of conduct. This month we are listening to Social Animals by Camille Perri About the Book: Three women. One dog park. Things are about to get messy. Val Caruso, Alex Reed, and June Kennerson come from completely different worlds—Val is a tough-talking private investigator; Alex is reticent, nervous and on the run from her past; and June is an athlete turned housewife whose true love is her pup. When Val is hired by June’s husband to find out if June is cheating on him, it sets these three women on a collision course. Amid a colorful cast of characters who spend time at the shabby but beloved Hamilton Dog Park, they find they have more in common than they thought. Soon June is brave enough to aim for what she wants, Alex finds excitement she never expected, and Val is reluctantly opening her heart to the most high-maintenance dog she’s ever met. But when their secrets catch up with them, will their newfound friendships be able to withstand the pressure? Or will they find themselves in the doghouse? Social Animals is a funny and sharp social commentary on community, privilege, dog ownership, and the ultimate power of finding your people (and your pets).

Welcome to AskAlice

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening. So I built this to do that watching for me — real, confirmed events pulled from hundreds of sources, sorted so you can find your night instead of hunting for it.
