The Tyngsborough Public Library’s book club meets 8 times a year on the last Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm; 4 times through September and December; and 4 times through March and June. For a full schedule of Book Club meeting times and books, visit: https://www.tynglib.org/books-more/book-club/.
From September to December, we will be reading four books, each with a differing genre and subgenre. Hopefully this will encourage conversation within the group where we can reflect on similar themes and character dynamics depicted in various settings, writing styles, and genres; embarking us on a journey to appreciate and analyze similar ideologies across these interchanging factors. It can also be a great way to step outside of your reading comfort zone!
No registration required. Copies of each title are available at the circulation desk approximately one month before each meeting. Drop in to any meeting regardless of prior attendance or completion of the book. Email [email protected] with any questions.

The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo Genre: horror historical fiction
To rescue her once-affluent family from poverty, Li Lan agrees to become the ghost bride of Lim Tian Ching, the deceased son of one of the city’s wealthiest families. No, this is not a tale of vampires or zombies, but of an ancient custom among the Chinese in Malaysia called “spirit marriage.” Though dead, Li Lan’s bridegroom makes his presence known, visiting her in dreams while hinting that his was an untimely demise. Now, guided by spirits, Li Lan must undertake a journey into the afterlife to discover the truth.
