About

The Writers’ Studio Book Club offers you fresh reads and expert voices every two months featuring recently published books across rotating genres, each discussed with an expert.

This month's pick is "Body and Soul Food" by Abby Collette, the Cleveland author of two "Books & Biscuits Mystery" books and three "Ice Cream Parlor" books. On hand will be our special guests Jen Pitts, a lifelong mystery reader who turned her obsession into writing cozy mysteries of her own; and Eryn Scott, author of heartwarming cozy mysteries.

Each gathering features a conversation led by an expert in the field, offering unique insight into the craft, context, and themes of the book. Whether you're a writer, reader, or both, this is your chance to explore new voices, expand your literary horizons, and connect with a community that loves books as much as you do. Look for a new genre and a new book every round.
