Carmeline hosts a welcome book club called The Happy Bookers and they read a little bit of everything—romance, sci-fi, thrillers, and more. The club meets monthly at Books Inc. in Mountain View at 6 pm on the last Monday of the month (except on Federal Holidays).
Whether you’re attending for the first time or are a regular attendee, please consider supporting the store by purchasing your copy there—book club picks are available at 15% off.
