SUMMARY:NONFICTION - Everything is Tuberculosis
DESCRIPTION:This month\, we’re reading Everything Is Tuberculosis\, a fascinating blend of history\, science\, and social justice that asks us to rethink one of humanity’s oldest diseases. Far from being just a medical story\, this book explores how poverty\, inequality\, politics\, and access to healthcare have shaped who gets sick—and who gets to recover. \nTogether\, we’ll discuss how disease can illuminate the structures of society\, why tuberculosis continues to affect millions despite being preventable and treatable\, and what this story reveals about compassion\, public health\, and our shared responsibility to one another. Join us for an engaging conversation about a book that is as much about humanity as it is about medicine.

SUMMARY:SIGNING - Steven Lawrence Lang
DESCRIPTION:Meet Local Author Steven Lawrence Lang \nJoin us at Story Line Books this Saturday for a special signing with St. Paul author Steven Lawrence Lang\, celebrating his debut novel\, The Art of Falling Apart. \nSet in the Twin Cities\, The Art of Falling Apart follows Minneapolis artist William Link\, who should be on the verge of everything he’s worked for: his first major gallery exhibition\, a huge and suspiciously affordable studio apartment\, and a relationship with a woman he can’t quite believe wants to be with him. Instead\, his life is coming apart. His relationship is faltering\, his eccentric neighbors are adding to the chaos\, and—most troubling of all—he keeps seeing his dead mother. \nAs William races to finish the paintings for his exhibition\, those visions become harder to dismiss\, especially when it appears his mother may be meddling with his artwork. Is William genuinely being haunted\, or is he experiencing the same mental instability that consumed his mother? And if she really is changing the paintings\, whose art is it? \nFunny\, surreal\, dark\, and unexpectedly tender\, The Art of Falling Apart is a story about creativity\, grief\, family\, love\, and the sometimes very blurry line between falling apart and finding your way through. \nStop by Saturday to meet Steven\, talk books and art\, and pick up a signed copy of his debut novel while supporting a member of our local literary community. \nThis event is free and open to everyone. No registration required.

SUMMARY:STAFF CHOICE - The Life of Herod the Great
DESCRIPTION:Join the Story Line Books Book Club as we discuss The Life of Herod the Great by Zora Neale Hurston. \nBest known for Their Eyes Were Watching God\, Hurston spent years working on this ambitious retelling of the life of Herod the Great—the brilliant\, ruthless\, and deeply controversial king of Judea. Reimagining a figure most often remembered as a biblical villain\, Hurston draws on history\, religion\, politics\, and storytelling to create a more complicated portrait of a man navigating empire\, ambition\, loyalty\, and power. \nPublished decades after Hurston’s death\, The Life of Herod the Great also gives us the chance to talk about Hurston herself: the choices she made in interpreting the ancient world\, the unfinished and posthumous nature of the work\, and how our understanding of historical figures changes depending on who gets to tell their story. \nCome ready for a lively conversation about power\, legacy\, historical memory\, faith\, and the complicated line between history and storytelling. \nAll are welcome—even if you haven’t finished the book!

SUMMARY:CONTEMPORARY LIT - Yesteryear
DESCRIPTION:Join the Story Line Books Book Club as we discuss Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. \nWhen Natalie is invited to join Yesteryear\, an idyllic online community devoted to embracing the simplicity and traditional values of the past\, it seems like an escape from the pressures of modern life. But as the carefully curated world of homemaking\, femininity\, and nostalgia begins to reveal its darker edges\, Natalie finds herself confronting the unsettling forces hiding beneath the picture-perfect surface. \nSharp\, provocative\, and deeply interested in the stories we tell ourselves about the “good old days\,” Yesteryear explores the seductive power of nostalgia—and what can happen when an idealized version of the past becomes a blueprint for the present. \nCome ready for a lively conversation about social media\, gender roles\, belonging\, influence\, and why the promise of a simpler life can be so difficult to resist. \nAll are welcome—even if you haven’t finished the book!
