Pickerington Main

Large Conference Room, Atrium

Stay up-to-date with the newest, hottest young adult book releases.

March's book club will feature an extra-special twist: we will be joined by Mindy McGinnis herself, who is a bestselling author and central Ohio local! Her most recent book, How Girls Are Made, is a contemporary thriller that addresses perfectionism, emotional abuse, and the dark side of social media. Fallon, Shelby, and Jobie's lives all collide when Fallon starts a secret sex education class, rumors of which start reaching parents. Soon, each girl finds herself trapped in an inescapable situation—that will leave one of them dead. 

Join this monthly teen-focused book club to read and discuss some of the most anticipated and exciting YA books of the year! This book club is great for all teen readers—and especially those who like to catch the most-anticipated releases, read the up-and-coming authors, or explore what's popular beyond BookTok. If you're YA-obsessed, this is one book club you won't want to miss!

This season's titles:

March: How Girls Are Made, Mindy McGinnis

April: Few Blue Skies, Caroline Ixta

May: The Light That Blinds Us, Andy Darcy Theo

Meets on the second Thursday of the month.

If you need accommodations for a class or event, contact communications@pickeringtonlibrary.org or call 614-837-4104 ext. 221.
