NAIBAhood Book Club: The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies with Erin Matthews

When bookselling is your career, it's easy to get bogged down in the quotidian like ordering, operations, payroll, events and to forget about why you got into this in the first place: the books! That’s where our new NAIBAhood Book Club comes in. It’s a labor of love from our board, and each board member (and bookseller) picked a book that means something to them to read along with you. Lots of backlist, nothing over 400 pages, and no obligation to join every month. So get into your pajamas, pour yourself a cup of tea and get ready to remind yourself why you do this. It’s for the BOOKS!

Our February leader will be Board Vice President Erin Matthews of The Last Word . Her selection is The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman. 

When two ladies of a certain age (by Regency standards, anyway) are held up on a lonely road, they discover their highwayman may have even less to lose than they do. So being sensible, mature ladies, they make the logical choice--and embark on a life of crime. After all, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
