Overview
We’ve tapped into the well-read minds of our KUOW editors, the Seattle Public Library staff, and other friends of KUOW to bring you our new book club.
We’re going to explore the wealth of material from Seattle, Washington, and the Pacific Northwest through familiar titles and, hopefully, some that are new even to our most literary members. We’ll alternate between fiction and nonfiction, reading everything from historical fiction to memoir. We’ll pull from the work of writers like Timothy Egan, Sonora Jha, and our own editor Carol Smith. Ultimately, we hope to present books that will make you feel more connected to the people, places, and stories around you.

I am not affiliated with KUOW or the KUOW Book Club in any way. I just wanted to set this up for others and myself to be able to keep track of reading the book club selections. If you are someone involved in the KUOW Book Club and want me to take this down, please let me know and I will gladly do so!
