SUMMARY:STAFF CHOICE: The Cloisters
DESCRIPTION:Step into the shadowy\, enchanting world of The Cloisters by Katy Hays — a novel brimming with secrets\, tarot cards\, and a hint of the supernatural. This darkly atmospheric tale follows a young scholar drawn into the mysterious research halls of a gothic museum in New York City\, where the line between scholarship and magic begins to blur. \nIt’s a perfect October read — lush\, eerie\, and spellbinding — the kind of book that begs to be read with a cup of tea\, a cozy blanket\, and maybe a flickering candle or two.

SUMMARY:STORIES AT THE STATION - William Kent Krueger and Sarah Stonich
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with William Kent Krueger & Sarah StonichThursday\, October 16 6:00 pmUnion Depot\, St. Paul \nJoin us for a special night of conversation and readings with two of Minnesota’s finest authors: William Kent Krueger and Sarah Stonich. \nThe evening will begin with brief opening remarks and introductions. Each author will read a selection from their work\, followed by reflections on craft\, place\, and how Minnesota shapes their storytelling. We’ll follow with a conversation between them\, touching on their different approaches\, shared themes\, and what’s next for each. Audience Q&A will follow\, and there will be a book signing and book sale afterward. This event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from two voices deeply rooted in Minnesota’s literary landscape — one of them a master of atmospheric mystery and the other a chronicler of northern lives and landscapes. You’ll come away with new insights into how place shapes narrative\, along with fresh enthusiasm for their newest works. Seating is first-come\, first-served (if you need special accommodations\, please let us know in advance). Admission is free with registration\, and light appetizers and a cash bar will be available. \n\nAbout the Authors \nWilliam Kent Krueger lives in St. Paul\, Minnesota\, and has long made the state his literary home\, setting many of his novels in northern Minnesota. Krueger is best known for his Cork O’Connor mystery series\, but also writes stand-alone novels like This Tender Land and Ordinary Grace (which won the Edgar Award for Best Novel in 2013).His latest Cork O’Connor installment\, Apostle’s Cove\, is expected to continue his tradition of weaving suspense\, place\, and moral ambiguity. \nSarah Stonich was born in Duluth\, Minnesota\, and currently resides in Minneapolis.Her fiction often explores small towns in northern Minnesota\, where she mines the tensions between place\, identity\, industry\, and nature. Stonich’s first novel\, These Granite Islands\, was published in 2001 and went on to international translation and critical acclaim (including a Loft McKnight Award and a Minnesota State Arts Board Award). She recently published Fishing!\, a sharp\, funny novel about family\, culture\, and the outdoors.

SUMMARY:CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE: The Warm Hands of Ghosts
DESCRIPTION:As Halloween approaches\, we’re reading something hauntingly beautiful — The Warm Hands of Ghosts: A Novel by Katherine Arden. Set in the aftermath of World War I\, this lyrical novel weaves history and the supernatural into a story about love\, loss\, and the lingering spirits of the past. \nWith its mist-covered battlefields\, ghostly encounters\, and aching humanity\, The Warm Hands of Ghosts feels like a candlelit séance between memory and myth. It’s the perfect October read — eerie enough to raise goosebumps\, tender enough to break your heart\, and best enjoyed with a mug of something warm while the wind rattles the windows.
