Each month, we get together in the private event space of Riverstone Books in Squirrel Hill and discuss that month's book choice - a mix of fiction & non-fiction, with selections curated by our booksellers and chosen by the group.

September's pick is the National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestseller The Matrix by Lauren Groff. Cast out of the royal court by Eleanor of Aquitaine, deemed too coarse and rough-hewn for marriage or courtly life, seventeen-year-old Marie de France is sent to England to be the new prioress of an impoverished abbey, its nuns on the brink of starvation and beset by disease.
