Bad Girls Book Club November 2026
Wed, Nov 18, 11:30 PM**Our November novel is Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth!** **This month’s pick blends women’s fiction with a domestic thriller and a murder mystery. Expect suspense, crime, dark humor, witty moments, and a heartfelt story. It’s an exciting read with plenty for us to discuss! The book is 352 pages, and the audiobook runs 9 hours and 20 minutes.** Meet Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick: eighty-one years old, gloriously grumpy, fiercely independent, and never without a hot cup of tea―or a cutting remark. She minds her own business in her quiet Melbourne suburb, until a neighbor turns up dead and the whispers start flying. Because Elsie hasn’t always been Elsie. Once upon a headline, she was Mad Mabel Waller―Australia’s youngest convicted murderer. But was she really mad, or just misunderstood? Either way, she’s kept her secret buried for decades. Enter seven-year-old Persephone, a relentless little chatterbox who has just moved in across the road (armed with stickers, questions, and no sense of personal boundaries); Joan, who appears to have it in for Elsie; and a healthy dose of public interest―the cops are sniffing around, and the media is circling like seagulls at a picnic. So Mabel does what she’s always done best―she takes matters into her own hands. Is she a cantankerous old lady with a shady past? A cold-blooded killer with arthritis? Or just someone who’s finally ready to tell her side of the story? Sharp, surprising, and wickedly funny, this is the unforgettable story of a woman who’s spent a lifetime being underestimated―and is about to prove everyone wrong. Again.
October Book Club Meetup
Wed, Oct 28, 10:30 PMWelcome, readers! 🎃 Our October read is ***Klara and the Sun*** by **Kazuo Ishiguro**. From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans. In *Klara and the Sun*, Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love? The film adaptation of this novel is scheduled for release on October 23 (the official trailer can be found here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixzainceAE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixzainceAE)). We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
