We’re all about laid-back conversations, good vibes, and discovering new favorites together. If you're into fiction, want to make new friends, and love a cozy atmosphere (with coffee, of course!), this club is for you.

Fri, Aug 15, 2025, 4:00 PM EDT Meet the Authors: Valerie Nieman & Nell Joslin
Persnickety Books, BURLINGTON, NC
Upon the Corner of the Moon Book Tour by Author Valerie Nieman with Nell Joslin, with her debut novel, Measure of Devotion.

"Upon the Corner of the Moon, which launched in March, now has a wonderful audiobook featuring two Scottish actors! This is the first of two books telling the story of the historical Macbeths. Deeply researched history in the mode of Hilary Mantel, it is as much about women's lives and competing spiritualities as it is about politics and war. It traces the childhoods and young adulthoods of Macbeth and Gruach and Duncan, setting out the generations-old conflicts that will lead to a succession drama and his rise to kingship of all Alba."
