Tucked away in the alleys of old London town, we readers meet Nella, an apothecary with a diabolical twist. Each woman visiting her shop wishes to pay retribution to the men who have wronged them, and our MC is more than happy to oblige. 230 years away, we are swept into the journey of Caroline, a woman who has been wronged by a man, now trying to find herself among the wreckage of a broken marriage. As their paths collide, we unravel the mystery of what became of this Lost Apothecary, the journey of a broken heart finding clarity, and what interesting things can be hidden within a structure as delicate as an egg shell.
Join us as we discuss The Lost Apothecary by Sara Penner!

Abandoned by her father, Fable has spent 4 years on an island of criminals, fighting to survive through each night, and thinking of nothing but her plans to leave the island to demand what was promised to her. After securing passage on the Marigold and tracking down her father, Saint's promise was not what Fable had in mind. Desperate to find somewhere to belong, and heartbroken by Saint's rejection, she puts everything she has on the line to earn her place on the crew of the Marigold. Will they accept her as one of their own? Or will Fable be left right back where she started- alone?

Want to have "book club" with friends, but are either too busy for consistent meetings or don't have friends who read? We've got you covered- you're in our book club now. Every week we'll let you know what book we're reading, then you can read at your own pace and join us when you're ready! Or, you can not read and just listen to us argue- that works too. We'll start off with something slow- how about the Hunger Games? That'll be a fun throwback. You go read- we'll talk soon! Happy reading! -Madyson & Audrey
