Bluemont Book Club

Calling all readers and wine enthusiasts!

With the advent of June, summer has officially arrived — in all her green glory — to Bluemont, Virginia!  Bluemont Book Club is BACK for the summer, dear readers! Our June 2024 title pick is . . .

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune!

This heartwarming, fantastical, whimsical book is our June AND Pride Month Pick! We wouldn’t be surprised at all if you’d heard of this book before — The House in the Cerulean Sea was lauded on publication and has since become a Modern Queer Classic to many.

HERE’S THE BLURB FROM BOOKRIOT’S “20 MUST-READ FEEL-GOOD FANTASIES. . .”

“This contemporary fantasy can satisfy any sweet tooth with its found family story and its gentle queer romance. When Linus Baker, a case worker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, is sent on a hush-hush assignment to a remote island orphanage, he’s wary of what he’ll find. But when he arrives, he discovers a remarkable—if unusual—gaggle of children, tended by the equally special Arthur Parnassus.”

At Bluemont Book Club, enjoy a night of relaxation and lively discussion with fellow book lovers!  Tickets are $25.00 per guest and include one book club discussion per month and a curated tasting of three Virginia wines or a glass of your choice per meeting in the company of fellow reading enthusiasts. But unlike our typical guided tasting options, your ticket also comes with book banter. After all – nothing pairs with wine quite so well as a cozy atmosphere, insightful conversation, and the cracked spine of a good book!
