Well behaved #BookFaces rarely make history!

Well bless your heart it’s #BookFaceFriday! September is national Library Card Sign-up Month, this year’s theme is “one card, endless possibilities,” so we thought “The Book Club for Troublesome Women: A Novel” by Marie Bostwick (Harper Muse, 2025) was the perfect fit. This historical fiction novel set in the 1960s, celebrates nostalgia, female friendship, and breaking the mold, and is all about how books can open the door to more than just reading. It’s available as an eBook through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries or you can find other bookish reads featured in our “Library Card Sign Up Month” curated collection.

“Bostwick’s latest is ideal for fans of historical fiction and those who enjoyed Bonnie Garmus’s LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, Kristin Hannah’s THE WOMEN, or Kate Quinn’s THE BRIAR CLUB, which explore the historical roles of women and the challenges they faced within a society structured to define and limit their roles in and out of the home.”
