The Mystery Book Club will take place at the Morris Public Library on Wednesday, May 14, at 6:30 PM and discuss “The Antique Hunter’s Guide to Murder” by C. L. Miller.

Freya Lockwood is shocked when she learns that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and her estranged mentor, has died under mysterious circumstances. She has spent the last twenty years avoiding her quaint English hometown, but when she receives a letter from Arthur asking her to investigate—sent just days before his death—Freya has no choice but to return to a life she had sworn to leave behind.

Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Freya follows clues to an old manor house for an advertised antiques enthusiast’s weekend. But not all is as it seems. It’s clear to Freya that the antiques are all just poor reproductions, and her fellow guests are secretive and menacing. What is going on at this estate and how was Arthur involved? More importantly, can Freya and Carole discover the truth before the killer strikes again?

The bio-digital-medical-convergence that is currently being introduced to the public has led Thomas to connecting many of the technocratic puzzle pieces. The author hopes to prove that there are still solutions available for a natural holistic life. 

All author’s works contain the main theme of "Humanics In Action", a philosophy first rooted at Springfield College. The intention is for the reader to become motivated and begin their own research on the many topics of Medonis' work.

The Popular Book Club will meet at the Morris Public Library on Tuesday, May 27 to discuss "Booth" by Karen Joy Fowler.

In 1822, a secret family moves into a secret cabin some thirty miles northeast of Baltimore, to farm, to hide, and to bear ten children over the course of the next sixteen years. Junius Booth—breadwinner, celebrated Shakespearean actor, and master of the house in more ways than one—is at once a mesmerizing talent and a man of terrifying instability. One by one the children arrive, as year by year, the country draws frighteningly closer to the boiling point of secession and civil war.

As the tenor of the world shifts, the Booths emerge from their hidden lives to cement their place as one of the country’s leading theatrical families. But behind the curtains of the many stages they have graced, multiple scandals, family triumphs, and criminal disasters begin to take their toll, and the solemn siblings of John Wilkes Booth are left to reckon with the truth behind the destructively specious promise of an early prophecy.
